| Preamp help needed - max $ 2500 Another option which is tubed but not "tubey"; very neutral and good detail is First Sound Presence DLx Mk2 which should be right in your price range. | |
| Harmony Remote Control I love mine. I got a near bottom of line from TigerDirect. Cost me about $60 and it beats the $hit out of my Pronto, MX-700 and 500. Anyone want a good deal on either of those, hit me w an email. Mine does not have a dock, uses AAAs and my only co... | |
| Tube Newbie question There are very detailed explanations of the sonic characteristics of various tubes (and they are grouped by tube equivalent) in Joe's Tube Lore at Audio Asylum. | |
| Cheapest system you could ever stand to listen to The Dynaco PAS-3/ST-70 I bought at a tag sale for $12!!! | |
| QSonix First Experience Thank you, Marty. Very interesting. Does the QSonix have a choice of digital interfaces when using an external DAC. Can you output USB or I2S? | |

| preamp with processor loop... processor loop = tape loop. Lots have them, some don/t. VAC does. | |
| Do you swap cables when using a headphone amp? Tape loop is the way to go, unless you buy a headphone amp with a loop out on it. Either way, should not make much of a difference either way. | |
| Any balanced one end/rca the other interconnects? Most manufacturers will make them up for you custom. It won't pass a balanced signal of course, but there are some circumstances in which they are useful. I used a pair from my EMC-1 that sounded better balanced to a single-ended pre-amp. | |
| Headphone Listeners? If you want to listen for hours and you like your sound a little laid back, the Senns are a very good choice. The MG is also a pretty decent HP amp. You can run it off the tape outs of your pre-amp and get all of your sources available to you. I'v... | |
| hooking phono preamp to integrated I stand corrected. | |
| hooking phono preamp to integrated Any unused input. | |
