| Are passive preamps better? It didn't work. Back to preamp. | |
| Are passive preamps better? Since I don't have the $7000 maybe somebody will start manufacturing them for a fraction of the cost. I copied your response, Eldartford. Last night I tried bypassing the preamp with my H/K HD7600ll which has a variable output option. This player ... | |

| Are passive preamps better? When I asked the question, the passive seemed more logical to me. Now the active seems more logical. I'm sure I will experiment when I have the opportunity. I think the 7.1 is probably 22k (just got in from delivering a calf and am too lazy to loo... | |
| Most Effective Tweaks I apply a household anti-cling product to top of CD's and all cables about once a month. It reduces/eliminates static. Makes audible difference. | |
| How's a Harman/Kardon HD7600? They were top notch. Audio magazine reviewed it and said it was comparable to the top players which at that time were selling for about $3000. Very easy on the ears. The bass is usually muddy on the older players compared to current players, but y... |
