| Slow upgrade from integrated - pre or power first? Sorry I never answered your question and filled your thread with my agenda. Go with the Preamp, absolutely, before the power amp. It (forgetting power, and assumming that is not your problem) will yield dramatic sonic benefits to your rig, particu... | |
| Slow upgrade from integrated - pre or power first? Now, that's a plan. Anybody?? | |
| Slow upgrade from integrated - pre or power first? This is the which came first thing: the chicken or the egg? Which should come first: the amp or the preamp? I think that the best thing for me to do is groove with my Passion and Definitions, until the wife says "okay honey, I want you to order th... | |
| Preamp to Integrated amp hookup Well lo and behold: I am in luck. Called the YBA tech department and they said I can hook up a preamp. They said to use the video input. It is designed for processors and the like, and the internal preamp can be bypassed via the hand control. Spok... | |
| Slow upgrade from integrated - pre or power first? Well lucky me. Spoke to Dan Wright and called the YBA techie department. The Yba does have a video input, which can be used as a preamp in, because there is a facility on the hand control to defeat the internal preamp. This was created for video p... | |
| Preamp to Integrated amp hookup no. haven't even received them yet. I'll do it one step at a time. | |
| Preamp to Integrated amp hookup Seth, you're right about that. The Passion may just be the end of my journey. Being the audiophool that I am, I'm always two or three steps ahead of the game. Even if I may never go there. | |
| Preamp to Integrated amp hookup Aball, Raytheprinter has my Caravelles. Can't do the preamp. Does have a pre out, but no amp in. I want the tube pre. There always a way, but not this one. thanks, warren | |
| Slow upgrade from integrated - pre or power first? Man, I should have read more carefully before my post: Would I be able to hook up the Modwright (funny, but that is the pre I've been looking at)to my YBA Passion Integre? Benefits of some sweet solid state watts coupled with an excellent tube pre... | |
| Any limits on International Pay Pal transaction? Paypal was not able to answer your question when you called them? Odd, I thought they would know. | |
| Review: Harmonic Precision Caravelle Speaker I know just where you are coming from regarding the stands. Unfortunately they are a real bear to set up and having very little patience with my wife (and her lack of any usable strength)made it all the more problematic. But, when the Caravelles h... | |
| Which Patricia Barber album floats yer boat? Some beautifully recorded albums. Ho hum voice and ho hum piano playing. McPartland, at over 80, kills her on the piano. PB be very hard to listen to for more than an hour. I do use some of her albums to show off my rig. Companion, cut 2 Use Me, w... | |
| Line Conditioner or New Power Cords? I disagree with Marakanetz. "dirt cheap?" forget about price. Poor power conditioners can add some evil little nasties. I'm not a "Monster" fan, and it is a monster. Your most cost effective start to electric nirvana are dedicated lines for your a... | |
| Line Conditioner or New Power Cords? I have yet to hear of reasonably priced = excellent. I love the Audio Magic line, but would go with Sound Application in a flash, as well. Oooles of Audiophools love the Shunyata Hydras. I have one on my rig for my TV room. Very nice, indeed. | |
| Is There any Truly "High End" Integrated Amp? While we are on the subject of hi end integrateds: Julian, I don't think this messes up your thread. You have oodles of suggestions and you can always buy my Passion. I'm selling my YBA to delve into tubedom. Purchasing very efficient speakers (Zu... |
