| Benchmar DAC-1 as pre vs Bottlehead Foreplay II Thank you all for your respones. As I understand the pre section of the Benchmark is inferior to the Foreplay II. Am I correct? | |
| Benchark dac1 output as pre high enough? Thank you all for your responses! I guess using the dac1 volume pot at about 12:00 to 1:00 is perfectly normal (for a normal listening level). | |
| How long daes it take your gear to warm up? Rok2id yes it does travel at approx light speed, but it does not mean that the equipment is performing at its best!

| B&W CDM9NT vs Dynaudio Focus 260II OK. So far the opinions are for the Dyns. Just what I though! I like the B&Ws, but I think the Dyns will be more musical with more bass slam. Thanks for your comments! | |
| B&W CDM9NT vs Dynaudio Focus 260II My wrong. I meant Dynaudio 220II, | |
| RCA vs optical cable? Loomishohnson you got my question right. Thank you Kal for pointing out that RCA cables do no have an impedance of 75 ohms. I just wanted to see if I could get away not expending some money in a digital cable. Thank you for your responses! | |

| CD direct to monobloks? Well I tried the variable output from the Primare I21, the sound was thin and compressed. Then I feed the amps direct from the Shanling, with the same result. In the end the best sound I got is from the pre Adcom GTP-350. Not bad all all! Still I ... | |
| CD direct to monobloks? Thank you all for your responses! It seems that I got some experimentation to do, which is part of the joy of this hobby. Thanks again! | |
| Thoughts on 845 set monoblocks My only experience with 845 amps is with the Bel Canto SETi40 which I like a Lot, especially with 845B tubes! Anyone can give his/her opinion about this amp? | |
| Two physical grounds?? Thank you all for your responses! As some of you guessed right the house is very old with just 2 prong sockets (ungrounded). However, I know that there is a ground bar at the fuse box which would be very difficult to fish in order to tie the two g... | |
