| Preamps with Dual XLR Outputs @jackd Yes the full loaded version. I think it is just a little under $4k. | |
| Old Rockers never die, they just get more wrinkly? @bdp24 Can you post the link to your book. I would like to buy it. | |
| Preamps with Dual XLR Outputs @atmasphere What you wrote is very interesting. I would like to have a phone conversation with you when I have the cash to buy. I am inclined to get a SS preamp, but I some flexibility in this choice, maybe get both to have some great combinations... | |
| Smooth sounding integrated Peachtree NOVA 150. I will be selling mine in a few months since I will be going separates for a lot more $$. However, it is an really good integrated, reliable, smooth, and relatively low cost. Peacthree is having a sale (they always seem to be ... | |
| Preamps with Dual XLR Outputs Questions to W4S:1. Does the STP-SE preamp support the Balanced XLR AES48 Standard for the 2 XLR outputs? 2. Can I hook up 2 amps to the preamp. I want to use a Benchmark AHB2 amp and a Luxman m900u amp connected to 2 different speaker sets. I w... | |
| Preamps with Dual XLR Outputs Man I cannot believe I did not remember the Luxman c900u has this dual output XLR feature. I demoed this preamp 2 times too. Getting old.Selects an output mode from the following 3 kinds: unbalanced output, balanced output, and bi-amplifier output... | |
| Preamps with Dual XLR Outputs @gdnrbob To my mind, you wouldn't be unhappy with either the Ayre or Atmasphere preamps, both provide super clean sound. I would have to have my head in a vice for hours to find a negative thing to say about either. That is the sound I am gravi... | |
| Preamps with Dual XLR Outputs @zprr The place where I may buy the NS 5000 is also a dealer for Simaudio. Something to consider. I may also consider buying the NS 5000 online to have a 60 day home trial. I am almost 100% certain that a CONVOLUTION file for DSP running on ROON w... | |
| Preamps with Dual XLR Outputs @don I used to own the BAT VK 42-SE preamp. I do not recall now if it had dual XLR’s but it was pretty good. A little soft on the top but a relaxing sound, at least compared to the Bryston BP25 preamp it replaced.I bought that one used without hea... | |
| Preamps with Dual XLR Outputs I have not heard the Ayre but I know people consider the 20 reference caliber. I will keep any eye out for a used unit since I have not bothered a dealer with an audition for that one. I have no problem buying used but not if I demo the same gear ... | |
| Preamps with Dual XLR Outputs @atmasphere You are my AES48 hero (save me $$$) and I have been including that feature as an essential requirement when I look into the preamp - amp interface. With my limited experience with Benchmark gear, which support AES48, I tend to agree wi... | |
| Preamps with Dual XLR Outputs I just spent some time reading the reviews of the W4S preamp. They make it seem like a slightly noisier version of the Benchmark LA4, but with the specs I am looking for with dual output XLR. Both peamps are being described as "straight wire with ... | |
| Preamps with Dual XLR Outputs Ear-Yoshino 868 (reviewed in Positive Feedback and Enjoy The Music) and 912 (review by Art Dudley in Stereophile). Missed this post. Thanks, will look into it. | |
| Preamps with Dual XLR Outputs @willgolf I am working with a dealer on the Makua so I plan on getting it from him if I go that way, not at MRSP as I listed but something with a discount. There is a unit available today on A’gon from Australia for $10K but I started with the dea... | |
| Preamps with Dual XLR Outputs The Makua, Ayre, and W4S preamps that have been suggested should be ok in that respect. Not sure about the EAR. Thanks all for these great suggestions, it would have taken me a while to find them. I am actually aware of the suggested preamps, a... |
