| Looking to upgrade my preamp, suggestions? Had quite a few hours with the C48 now and can sum up a little better.Life with the LS2 was good but cd fed through its balanced inputs always sounded just a little forward, bright and aggressive, not terrible but compared to vinyl fed through rc... | |
| Looking to upgrade my preamp, suggestions? @rwwear You are correct, the ARC LS2B IS an excellent preamp and one I have enjoyed for near on 4 years but it was time for a change and convenience.The ARC is now for sale right here for much less than I paid so hopefully somebody will snap it up... | |
| Looking to upgrade my preamp, suggestions? Thank you everybody for your valuable input.Yes I was drawn to another ARC like an ls26 or 27 but with the feature set of the C48 filling EVERYTHING i needed I gave it a whirl.And what a whirl, already have it set up to my liking and yes I am liki... | |
| Looking to upgrade my preamp, suggestions? I decided to go with some convenience factors as well just to reduce the amount of "boxes" all connected up!Went with a McIntosh C48. which has yet to arrive so hopefully not a bad choice, but this will allow me to get rid of the phono preamp, the... | |

Still amused immensely by this topic, here,s my 3 cents of old fart musings!Hail from England originally and grew up as a cash strapped music afficondo making do on a shoe string budget to begin.Back in the 70,s, affordable meant Jap amps and cass... | |
| Best standalone music server? @david12 Interesting question...lolI am from England and we used to do this all the time the old school way, vinyl to cassette and never gave it another thought,Honestly do not know the rules here in the usa but i know it happens on such a massive... | |
| Looking to upgrade my preamp, suggestions? @milby1 I did see the audionet unit earlier and was interested in it. How long have you had yours and what do you pair it with? | |
| Best standalone music server? As I said earlier I did think the bass was a little overblown from the vault but this was using the rca outputs.I changed to the coax dig out feeding into the dig in of my esoteric and tbh I truly cannot tell them apart now.My guess is the analog ... | |
| Looking to upgrade my preamp, suggestions? has anybody any experience with mcintosh c48 preamp?just looking at that it seems to cover all bases with dig inputs, mm and mc phono and headphone socketa nice looking all in one but cannot find a single review anywhere | |
| Looking to upgrade my preamp, suggestions? @sbank yes the vk51se is also on my hotlist, although as it only has balanced inputs i was considering the vk32se more just for conveniencehowever i know bat make the xlr to rca adapters so always a way round things | |
| Best standalone music server? @jond Of course I get your point, in fact I would have to concede the logic of it if all you want to do is browse without owning as this is exactly what the wife does with tv using Netflix and Amazon Prime for about $22 a month for the pair. And y... | |
| Best standalone music server? @jond Everybody is entitled to their choicesMine as I have stated is to have something tangible in my hands when I have paid good money for it.Now just as an example, I bought some cd,s say and I decided I did not like them, well I am going to rip... | |

| Best standalone music server? Well had this vault2 for about 4 days now and have 3500 songs loaded and out of those just 15 got dumped into unknown due to bad metadata, and nearly all of those were really old obscure tracks so a great job as far as i am concerned. Quickly fixe... |
