Opening a can of worms
Ah Blindjim is the voice of wisdom and reasoning. Pay attention grasshoppa's because he knows what he is talking about. I think most of have been on this merry go round for awhile and I know there  are doubters however, there ARE differences in ca... 
Primaluna Integrated with a seperate preamp
I never found this thread as I asked the same question Saki did.   I borrowed a buddies ARC LS26 and hooked it up through the HT bypass and was disappointed.  It sounded great with his ss amp but completed different with the PL.  I also called Kev... 
Power Cords
Has anyone tried Morrow Audio power cords? How do they compare to the upper echelon mentioned in this thread?  I know their IC's offer a great bang for the buck. I have never owned any of the Audioquest line.  I can tell you this, there are big di... 
Morrow Audio MA5 Interconnects.
I am using the MA4 from CDP to preamp and really like it. Just ordered the MA5 and Mike told me its definitely a step up from the MA4. Just more of a good thing. Sometimes I think too much of one type of cable can be either a good or bad thing. Is... 
What makes you build a system around an amplifier?
Amps are personal (in my opinion)  and I think it is perfectly fine to build a system around one.  Sure preamps and speakers are very important but an amp is the soul of the system.  Of course so are fuses, power cords and isolation lol ;) 
Scam dealer on Ebay?
OK some dude in Japan is trying to lure total idiots to buy high end at inflated prices.  It may not technically be a scam however, it is close to it.  Are you a conspiracy theorist lol? 
Scam dealer on Ebay?
Geoffkait I notice you seem to condone this behavior of trying to scam or ask high prices.  Who in their right mind is going to buy for example a ML amp for $7500 that sold for $2000 less new? Or selling for $5000 less on the used market. The OP w... 
Scam dealer on Ebay?
A car dealer told me years ago.  There's an ass for every seat lol.   
Scam dealer on Ebay?
I've noticed this guy pricing Levinson amps at 3-4 times their used value. I emailed him and asked why is he asking these crazy prices and never did answer lol.  The OP just asked a simple question and figures someone would make a mockery out of i... 
Preamp for a BAT VK-55.
FYI I have a VK31SE on the way. From what I have read it is more musical and dynamic than the 32SE.  Also it is very close to BATs early 50 series which is out of my price range.  
Preamp for a BAT VK-55.
Stingreen I didn't think the adapters would help the sound just wondering if they would hurt it?  One can become very confused after reading reviews and opinions on each BAT preamp (VK30-32 SE and non SE). The opinions are all over the place.  
Preamp for a BAT VK-55.
I'm leaning towards a BAT pre-amp.  Used to have a VK5i a few years ago but the VK30 and up look to be more attractive and functional with the newish interface.

Also would using XLR to RCA adapters affect the sound? 
Mark Levinson 27.5 versus modern day amps
Thanks tecknik I will check into it.  
Mark Levinson 27.5 versus modern day amps
Someone here I would think has an opinion on the 27.5 I would hope.  I know its one of their best amps ever but worth it overall? They didn't have the cap issues like the 300 series.
