| Help with pre/pro for Krell/B&K/Martin Logans I have a Nakamichi CA-1 HT preamp w/analog pass-through for2 channel. It sounds great. It beats out going direct from my DAC w/volume control to amp by far. There's one for sale on Agon now but w/DD only. I use my Nak with electrostatics speakers ... | |
| consensus on passive preamps? I recently located a Carver Lightstar Direct passive pre tomatch my Carver Lightstar Reference Amp. With the two stable-mates together, I was expecting miracles. The tranparency was immaculate but the overall sound was thin. I would welcome any su... | |
| volume/transparency ? Thanks all for the detailed info. The learning curve continues! Audiokinesis - the imaging suffers more than the clarity at lower volumes. I have Final 0.4's driven by a Carver Lightstar Reference w/Lightstar Direct Pre. | |

| Now I know what they mean by a bright cable. I had the exact same reaction with the Maple Shade Golden Double Helix Plus speaker cables. After burn-in, they were just too bright for my ribbon tweeters. But, I did like the way they tightened up the bass. So, I simply hooked them up to the L.F... | |
| Infinity Renaissance 90 I have the Renaissance 80's and love them. They're perfect for my small listening room. I can listen for hours with no fatigue at all. | |
| Yamaha T-2 Tuner, how good musically? I've just auditioned 4 tuners in the past 2 months.I was going to give the T-2 a try. But, I'll pass. Thanks! |
