| Tube Preamps...I'm sold Tom, thanks for the input. If I go with BAT I will get the 52se so I can upgrade to the REX. Hopefully I can audition one after CES.Teajay, great thoughts. No, I have not given up entirely on SS preamps. I am going to try the Accustic Arts, MBL, a... | |
| Einstein The Tube users...help Hey guys, happy new year and thanks for the reponses.Boa2, I have not yet given up on the Einstein but I am cnnsidering my other options (it is a $14K preamp!!). Though the BAT does offer volume offsets which I like.Rhyno, I am not sure I understa... | |
| Einstein The Tube users...help Boa2, I asked and the distributor's initial response is that he does think the factory will reduce the gain. I would have to use fixed attenuators. Does this affect the sound quality at all? | |
| Einstein The Tube users...help Thanks for the explanation Boa2. I was confused a bit by the lower/higher sensitivity thing. It makes sense that Pass has a low sensitivity (not a lot of input voltage required to drive it to full output). So it seems that the Einstein must have t... | |
| Einstein The Tube users...help Thanks newbee. I am a newbie (sorry I couldnt resist) to the world of tubes. I guess the input sensitivity of my Pass XA is too high? I am going to check with Pass. BTW, what is a "normal" input sensitivity for a ss amp? | |
| Tube Preamps...I'm sold Tom, what is the REX? Yes, BAT is on my shortlist. | |
| Which amps with B&W 800D's... Pass Labs or Classe? berjar, like you I am thinking about switching my CP-700 for a tube preamp. What other pres did you consider before deciding on the ARC? | |
| Tube Preamps...I'm sold Thanks for the responses. I would prefer balanced with a nice remote. I am only using this for 2 ch so I dont need HT pass. I also dont want tone control. | |
| Acoustic Zen WOW and Sivel Ref 2 A lot of people use the Matrix Reference from the pre to the amp and the Silver Ref for all source components. I personally do this as well. I am very happy with the results. Since I recently switched amps I may change to all Silver Refs but if yo... | |
| How high is your soundstage? viper_z, thanks for the link though I do not see anything when I click on it. | |
| How high is your soundstage? larryi, which test cd is this? i have a few of them (1 and 3 i think). thnanks | |
| Cary CD-306 upgrade I just called and left a message for a person at Cary...i will keep you updated on what i hear...though I must admit I am pretty excited at the prospect of this upgrade... | |
| How high is your soundstage? I agree with people's assertion that the soundstage should not be too high. I am curious how high people's soundstage is relative to the speaker. My soundstage is slightly above my tweeter, which to me is too low. I would like, and have heard othe... | |
| If you had to pay full retail, would you...??? I have not paid full retail for any of the things I have purchased. I base my component on large part to whether or not I can either get it used or at a good discount. This has limited my selection considerably and it takes me some time to get wha... | |
| FLAC vs. MP3 for Sonos Network Hi, I have been using Sonos for almost 2 years. I have over 40K songs. Based om my tests, I have found that mp3 encoded with EAC and LAME at 256 VBR offers the best compromise between size and quality. I find this to be absolutely near cd quality.... |
