| Bryston BP26 with Pass Labs "02-17-15: Bob_reynoldsWell, I guess it's time for rest of us to pack it in and go home. ZD has spoken. He has the only opinion of merit. Just ask him. He's convinced that his experience somehow controls the audio reality for all of us. It's hard ... | |
| Bryston BP26 with Pass Labs "That was not my experience. My explanation is that the Pass amp masked any sonic differences between the Bryston and Pass preamps. When I used the Bryston 7B SST monoblocks, the sonic differences between the two preamps became obvious. The Pass p... | |
| Any experience with the ULTRACURVE PRO DEQ2496 It depends. I have one, but I only use it for certain things. It all depends on the room, the components and what you are trying to do. | |
| Help with ICs Any of their newer entry level cables should be fine. | |
| Bryston BP26 with Pass Labs "02-17-15: Abrew19It does sem like zd is confusing amps and preamps in this situation."When you guys get some more experience, you'll find that barring a big mismatch between the amp and speaker, the preamp will contribute much more to a systems s... | |

| Bryston BP26 with Pass Labs "02-17-15: SoixI don't see how Bryston and Pass preamps are polar opposites. They're both solid state designs that seem to strive for neutrality."I think I see your point. Its just a box with some knobs on it. I'm willing to bet that if you looked... | |
| Bryston BP26 with Pass Labs "02-16-15: SoixHey Zd, Bob said he had both in his system and didn't notice a difference. Um, pretty much says he listened to both."I was just being sarcastic. We've had disagreements in the past, and I just don't believe him. To make a long story... | |
| Yet another contender for my Klyne 6PE: ARC PH5 I did mean .6 It was just a typo." "Gain is 57.5dB.... Audio Research expects that your line stage will provide additional gain, so forget about using the PH5 with a low-output cartridge and a passive line stage."Here's a link to the full review.H... | |
| Vandersteen 3 w/ARC d240 MKII "The Vandersteens only seem to come alive if the volume is high, and that is why I was curious about the amp."That's not necessarily true. It could be something else, like your amp. |
