| You know when you are dealing with a BS company.... I’m not a fan of the marketing hype and the constant sales…but that said, the cables sound great and represent solid value for money. In my system they equaled of bettered the Acoustic Zen and Nordost cables they replaced in my humble system. And,... | |
| Which Line Level, Balanced Preamplifier? I am very happy with my Bel Canto Pre5. It is dead quiet, fully balanced, and does everything I need it to do. I think the sound is very neutral and resolving but not analytical. I run Bel Canto monoblocks (500m) but have also used it with an Audi... | |

| What was the last CD you bought (Name, and year issued)? Richie Havens. Stonehenge. 1970. And it was hard to find a decent copy at a decent price. | |
| To preamp or not to preamp. That is the question. I’ve tried it both ways, two different times, and each time I decided to keep the preamp. I use a Cambridge 851N streamer/DAC feeding a Bel Canto PRE5 to Bel Canto ref500 monoblocks, driving Dali Mentor 6 floorstanders. With the preamp in the syst... | |
