| Still lost on my pre amp, can anyone help? Modwright SWL 9.0 SE. Used. Roughly fits your budget, great for two channel, has HT bypass.You'll be happy. Really. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? JBL Everest | |
| Anyone have a Music First Preamp ? 50K ohms input Z may work fine for you, but it's on the low end of the range. YMMV, but personally, I'd aim for higher than the minimum. | |
| Anyone have a Music First Preamp ? No kidding, eh?I thought there was a small amount of unnatural dryness to the MF, perhaps clinical would be a good word. The Lightspeed does not have this characteristic when paired with appropriate components. | |
| Anyone have a Music First Preamp ? I had the entry level Music First passive preamp in my system, but don't recall the model number. A local Music First dealer contacted me because I was in his area and he wanted to borrow the Lightspeed for comparison. In exchange, he offered to h... | |
| Anyone have a Music First Preamp ? I've had both Lightspeed and MF in my residence recently.The Lightspeed is only better than the Music First when the input Z of the amplifier is significantly north of 50K ohms, at least 100K ohms to be conservative. Given finicky system matching ... | |
| Shindo pre + buget amp or Leben amp + budget pre If you get a Shindo Aurieges, make sure your amplifier is at least 50K input impedance, best if 100K input impedance or more. This will likely influence your choice of budget amplifiers. | |

| Pls recommend a tupe pre under 2500 for my system. The Modwright SWL 9.0SE has HT bypass and is a very good preamplifier. | |
| Red Wine Audio Isabella Synergy The Isabella is warm and a little slow, but dense and full. I would pair with a very transparent amplifier.The 70.2 is a little rolled off at the top end, and I understand that the W4S is warm. May be too much of a good thing.I'd look at Modwright... | |

| Made in Canada conundrum You can be assured that when you're a Canadian visiting the US, the border people working for the US treat you exactly the same -- doing you a favor letting you into the US.This is just the way the border people are. Customs, border enforcement et... | |
| What amp are you using with your Zu Essences? Bill is somewhat of a jerk. If you don't agree with him, well, you're just wrong. No room for any possibility that he might be the one who's wrong. Oh, and if you don't agree with him, you're almost certainly mis-informed.Talked to Bill about a Fi... | |
| Shindo Monbrison better a RedWine Isabella? The Red Wine Audio amplifiers are a reasonable value amplifier if you're looking for:1. Off the grid performance. No need to depend on the power quality of your AC line.2. Solid state reliability combined with a tonal density and richness which is... |
