Preamp to match with Aragon 8008
i had an aragon 8002 (same design, lower power) paired with both a McCormack TLC-1, and an Audio Research LS-15. The TLC-1 was a great match with my former dna 225, but NOT with the 8002. Dry, uninvolving sound. The ARC pre breathed new life: dyna...

Pdreher,LOL!Maybe if I should buy some brilliant pebbles and shake them really loudly to distract him too!!

I used to work with this guy, Matt. He up and quit his job as a longtime engineer to move down that way, in order to help the community. Check him out. There is alot of solid info about progress.http://mattfite.blogspot.com/-Dave

doh! That sucks man. My son is 14 months old and is drawn to the audio system, always walks over the dyns and touches the grills, looking back smiling...I try to say no no no, but the little guy thinks its a game...what to do what to do?That is on... 
rothwell attenuators..effect on sound?
I am wondering if anyone has discovered mechanical faults with the evs inline jobs? The repeated mechanical disturbances from volume control, seem to translate right to the center pin of the RCA jack.Back to the OP: I am also interested in finding... 
Replacement pwr supply for Aragon 24k
I had this exact preamp years ago. That outboard power supply is very rugged. The fact that some guy modded it is likely the reason it broke. But like i said earlier, something upstream might be flaking out and massively increasing current draw, B... 
Replacement pwr supply for Aragon 24k
If you can find a local reputable tech shop try that. It's likely a regulator died.It could be that something in the 24k is drawing excessive current and that caused premature IPS failure.Have you tried alternative DC power ?Dave 
Anyone listen to the Bel Canto e.One S300i amp???
Dezyrae,Is this correct power module for S300?http://www.icepower.bang-olufsen.com/graphics/powerhouse/Library/documentation/ICEpower200ASC_Datasheet_1-5.pdflook at that TINY integrated power transfromer!! it's so cute!! 
The Best Midrange in the World Right Now
I don't know about best in the world, but right now i'm loving the ARC 100.2's midrange portrayal(among other things). Very rich yet lucid and transparent, with zero trace of grain or harsness. Marry this with a nice preamp and good speakers and I... 
Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ?
Audio Research 100.2: I agree with everything Loudandclear has stated (except the bass. No complaints here...). This amp drives my Dynaudio 1.8mk2's easily, as it did a friend's set of Contour S3.4's, which prompted his sale of a BatVK500. Simply ... 
Does this speaker exist or am I being ridiculous?
Dynaudio Contour S3.4Done. 
do burnt CD copys sound as good as originals?
Seandtaylor99,Agree. Can you do this such that the duplicate ends up on the HDD (i am thinking in the network file player world)?I think that is the intent of EAC (exact audio copy). IT reads the PCM (raw) from the disc and if you configure it, wi... 
do burnt CD copys sound as good as originals?
Seandtaylor99,I was wondering the same thing myself. What if my CD Drive in the PC is reading the disc and coverting to analog, transmitting that over the little chincy 3 wire (but totally appropriate for this application of course ;) ) left and r... 
Comparison of Thiel CS2.4 vs. Vandersteen 3A Sig.
Chad,Cool man, no bother(s) here. I loved my Thiel CS 2.2s but now moved on to Dynaudios for a change. I don't however agree that it is the Thiel that was harsh, probably some songs and associated equipment. I know they are revealing, and this mea...
