| Spend more money on the amp or the pre-amp? I have been convinced for a long time that a great preamp is the heart of a system. At $800, as others have said, I would go for an integrated, but at higher price points, I don't see a hard and fast rule. The days my preamp ratio is 45:55. Some y... | |
| Is the upgrade from Scout 1.1 to the Prime worth it? I never heard the Scout but I have heard the Prime and I was wowed by it. Excellent table. | |
| What type of Audio Gal or Guy are you? Do You Know? Satisfied audiophile. My system has been stables for a few years and I have zero desire the update or upgrade my gear. I happen to think my system is quite good. At this point it's all about the music because I'm not putting any $ into gear. | |

| Conrad Johnson--does anyone use this brand anymore? Re Coppy777's question if I miss that something you get with tubes- with the Pass gear, truthfully, not at all. However, if I truly do need or want a tube fix, it's not beyond my reach. I have built a couple of tubed headphone amps. | |
| Conrad Johnson--does anyone use this brand anymore? I had CJ gear for years. I had an MV60SE amp and a 17LS2 preamp. I've since switched to Pass, an XP20 and X250.8.

| Oldest gear still for sale is . . . Ah, the K-horn! How did I miss that? | |
| Oldest gear still for sale is . . . Dweller, I thought of tubes, but those are just parts. So, no, not what I was thinking of. Yogiboy, I thought of the MC275 but that's gone through a lot of changes, plus it had been discontinued. So what in thinking of, continuous and unchanged. B... | |
