| Tube Preamps that work well with SS amps? McIntosh MX-110z into Adcom GFA-565se. Best of both worlds! | |
| Trust Schiit Loki I have recently used the Loki to cool off a Klipsch KG4 just a touch. Also has worked great for a rocker type speaker - Cerwin Vega LS-12 where the tweeter is way too forward, little bit off at 2k and a bigger cut at 8k. Bam now the CV is doing wh... | |

| Help Needed - Music Only System I use a Macbook (itunes - apple lossless) through a PS Audio DL III directly into some Active Dynaudio BM5A speakers (XLR balanced). Absolutely amazing match up. Volume is controlled within the iTunes and it has worked excellent so far. | |
| active or passive preamp for active speakers the measured input resistance (DC) for the Dynaudio BM5A was 100Kohms. | |

I've tried several active pres it seems to affect the signal in a negative way (less clear, thinner, hazy). Using a Digital Link III balanced straight ... | |
| Vandersteen 2CE Sig II New vs. the older 2CE SigII Agree the older 2CE Sig II olds are great IMO. I have some Quicksilver 70s and though they are not a perfect match (70s drive more efficient loads better) they are still amazing in the right room. | |

Not ideal since the Silver 70s I dont think were meant to drive difficult loads but its sounds pretty good to me. Good bottom end, ... | |

| Quicksilver V4 or Silver 88 advice needed..... IMO I think the GL KT88s sound really good in the Silver 70s and V4. I have compared to EH and Chinese labeled KT88 tubes and I chose the GL KT88s. Just my two cents.Theron | |
| Quicksilver V4 or Silver 88 advice needed..... I have Gold Lion KT88 reissues and really like them in the 2 QS amps mentioned. BTW I think you can also use the KT90 in the Silver 88 if I am not mistaken... | |
| Quicksilver V4 or Silver 88 advice needed..... Yes the 88 is probably powerful enough since I dont play at incredible loud levels. I live in a loft style apartment (neighbors above and below). The space is fairly large 25' high ceilings. The Vandies breath well in the room with proper placemen... |
