| Best PreAmp with HT pass-thru? Vader007....! My BAT also have the same crackling noise when it's in HT pass through. I believe that when we use HT pass-through, the preamp is set to a very high volume thus make us here the noise from tubes. The noisy your tubes in music mode, t... | |
| Best PreAmp with HT pass-thru? I love BAT Tube Preamp. Under 2K you can buy VK-3i or VK-5i. Actually I currently have VK-5i to integrate with my HT system and really satisfied with its performance. By the way, Sonic Frontiers Line-1, 2 are also under your budget. Really good qu... | |
| Conditioners for power amps Many of power conditioners, while clean up the AC, limit current to feed your amp thus make your amp sounds less dynamic. You have toget, at least, the power conditioner that doesn't limit the current. Blue Circle BC85.1 is a very good conditioner... | |
| Power Conditioner Decision I've never had any power conditioner in my system before. So, I don't have any experiences with any of them.... Your suggestion would be appreciated.... Supakit S. | |
| help jitter, toslink, and DVD question Try Camelot Dragon 5.1 jitter reducer. It is actually the first unit to reduce jitter in 2-channel from Music CD and 5.1-Channel from DVD Movies while other jitter reducers can only do 2-channel (as stated on Camelot website). I'm using it with Pi... | |
| best sub- 1000 Transport, new or used I used to have an EAD Signature + EAD T-7000 combo for music listening. This is the best transport+DAC combo I ever had. After selling T-7000, I've tried Krell CD Player, Audio Research CDT-1 transport but they didn't sound as good as T-7000 did. ... | |
| Jeff Rowland or Mark Levinson??? I choose Jeff Rowland. I've owned both Jeff Rowland Model 5 and Mark Levinson No. 23 which are about the same age. ML23 has 200w/ch and JR Model 5 has 150w/ch and both can drive B&W 802S3 with ease.Sound: JR5 sounds much more smooth, musical a... | |
| Rowland Model 5 vs. McCormack DNA-1? I've never compared Jeff Rowland Model 5 with McCormack DNA-1 but I had owned and compare Model 5 with Mark Levinson No. 23 and McIntosh MC-162. So, my answer is just to give you an idea how good Model 5 is. JR Model 5 has really good detail and q... | |
| Adding Tub Preamp to HT setup The EAD signature does an excellent job in 2-channel but I've been heard that tube gears are different kind of animal and would like to give them a try on my HT system. With tube preamp to my HT system, EAD Signature will work as a DAC on 2-channe... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? With my limited experience. Sonus Faber Extrema is my favorite one.Supakit S. | |
| Mark Levinson 380S connectivity -Help Hi Vader007! How can you setup your Krell KRC-HR to pass through signal from MC-1. That's mean when you play DVD you just have to change your Krell preamp input to "pass-through" the signal from the MC-1 and then the volume can be controlled by MC... | |
| sonus faber or b w? I have tried B&W Matrix 802 and SF Extrema with 150watts Jeff Rowland amp. Both sound great with huge soundstage, open mid range and no harshness at all. But musical instruments are more "REAL", "LIVE", and "Textured" on Extrema than Matrix 80... | |
| Passive bi-amping works ? If my poweramp has 4 channels and can be bridged to 2 channels, in general should I used 4 channel to passive biamp or bridge them to 2 channels. I'm asking in term of better sound quality only. | |
