Preamp to mate with Pass 30.5
Now that I see your speakers. I would also get a few more suggestions on tubes. Good Luck, Tim 
Preamp to mate with Pass 30.5
CODA/SANDERS SOUND (both Coda) will certainly have the same flavor or synergy of Pass. Do you prefer ss or tubes? 
Sealed vs Ported Subwoofers
Duke, Nice accurate explanation. Still unless you have the ability to build your own subwoofer that you can factor your own in room response.... Normally if you built a Sealed sub with a finished Q of .5, most people would say that it had no low e... 
Sealed vs Ported Subwoofers
Bob, You are correct, sealed woofers do roll off @ 12db per octave. My fingers are faster than my head. Everything else is accurate. I have built several woofers in my time. The best we did back in my old SpeakerCraft/Marcof days was a woofer faci...

Some of the best pre amps used for $600 or less
Every preamp on here is a winner in its own right and as stated earlier, not on any one piece, but most of these you could resell at a minimum loss if any. I suggest to buy one and start the hunt. 
Sealed vs Ported Subwoofers
There is no better..... but You can certainly prefer one over the other and there are implications of one being better over an extended period of time. If a ported driver is ported correctly, it will be acoustically flat. If a sealed driver is in ... 
PC Audio with Cambridge 740c
I don't know the 740's DAC, but Wav files, followed by FLAC 
Used amplifier/preamp combo for $2,000-$3,000
Even though I recommended Coda & Classe, which I still do. The combo that Jimmy2615 recommended would be hard to beat. Very neutral and detailed without being overly analytical. Very good bottom, excellent in the midrange through the top end. ... 
Help power pair of Infinity Kappa 9's please
Those Kenwoods have alot of power, 300 for the L09 and 150 for the L07, but they will not produce the current needed to drive the Kappas. New amp or new speakers, or listen at low levels.Back to Jtiesel... I believe the Coda amps will drive these ... 
Used amplifier/preamp combo for $2,000-$3,000
Warm? Smooth? Hard Hitting? Detailed? Power Needed? I don't know tubes well, but in solid state, You would not go wrong with Coda or Classe. Tons of others, but these are great. 
Technics SL-1200 goes out of production
I didn't get from her that demand is increasing, but they keep production to a minimum and demand is often higher than production... Especially when one player comes in and buys their limited production out. She does say that models are still "cur... 
Technics SL-1200 goes out of production
Well, I have my rep a beat down wanting a straight answer on this. I should be use to feeling stupid by now, but after all the hoopla about trying to get one of these, it seems that she was lazy and didn't really check it out. I pushed and she tho... 
Technics SL-1200 goes out of production
You guys are better than me, I'm a buyer, I do a million dollars a year with Panasonic (TV's), Just emailed my rep and said I wanted a table for myself-any model. She emailed back and said "I'm sorry, we don't have anymore turntables anywhere"This... 
What if you designed your ultimate speaker?
There is no doubt that removing lower frequencies from a driver will help it perform more smoothly in its upper range. My Feeble mind can't grasp, Why beyond maybe a 5 way.Bass, mid bass, mid range, mid high, high. When you are talking the benefit...
