SS or Tube Preamps with Dual-Balanced outputs
DCstep: my apologies for missing the add of the Capri to the list; it was not intentional. I was trying to take an 'audio sanity break' from an overly busy day at work and added some entries but missed yours. Again, my apologies. I just took a look at the Capri,...it only seems to offer one set of balanced XLR outputs and 1 unbalanced RCA; does JRDG convert the RCA to a fully balanced XLR 2nd output set as an option? Guido: Thanks for the thoughts on the fun behind evaluating all these different options and the various families of sound characteristics present amongst the various options. Sting: Thanks for your thoughts on Ayre. I have friends (albeit other side of the country so cannot go listen) that are wild about Ayre mono's, digital players and the pre-amp listed above.... Audiofeil: Thanks for the information you've shared with me during the times we've talked (2 I think) over the past year or so). I hope all is well in Western NY! To All: This continues to be a very good learning experience for me and I'm grateful for all the help, experience-based advice, etc...that you've all given. The current (corrected) list is currently; Accuphase C-2810 Accuphase C-2410 Aestehtix Janus Aesthetix Calypso AtmaSphere Music Preamplifier MP3 (option) AtmaSphere New Music Preamplifier MP1 Mk.

I vertically bi-amp using two Edge NL 12.1 amps. I need two simultaneously active balanced XLR outputs as my NL12.1's are built with XLR inputs and I'd like to avoid using one pair of RCA->XLR converters not to mention the benefit of utilizing two balanced outputs as opposed 1 bal and 1 un-bal. The Classe CP-700 I utilize does a great job currently in this regard... |
My Capri has one balanced output and one single ended output. As pictured in the link. http://www.jeffrowland.com/Capri-back.htm |
