New Amplifier

Bass and drum punch a plenty with my Van Alstine Fet Valve Ultra 550. Good to 2 ohms! If you live near Atlanta I'll bring it over for you to try if you wish.

depends on your speakers and room. great amp though.

Bob reynolds response about impedence made me try a different output on my Van Alstyne preamp. I switched my cd player from tape to spare and a new better quality cable.
It made a huge difference.
Im a bit skeptical about cable and wire claims,
should there be that much difference between outputs?

Now I wonder if would a newer preamp with a cd/dvd output be even better?

thanks all.

i couldnt pass up the deal on the sunfire amp.
I cant believe an amplifier can make that much difference.

lower end full and deep and loud.
voice / piano higher end not as harsh / bright
altogether more balanced from low to high.

separation of individual instruments is unbelievable.
what i thought was electric piano? is a harp!!

are carver preamps as good as the Symphonic reference?
