| New guy needs firstpre amp Hi Jimmy3993, no I have not had the opportunity of auditioning a Pass preamp, so I can't provide you with a direct finding. For what it matters, according to BlueBook, the Pass 2.5 was released in 2002, while the Capri was released in 2007. I know... | |
| Bel Canto and.....? I will attend RMAF. . . I just added the new Bel Canto amps to my list of devices I must listen to at the show. Guido | |
| New guy needs firstpre amp Hi Jimmy, with the NuForce you may want to consider a balanced pre to maximize what your NuForce can do with. As mentioned in the other thread, I am very fond of Capri. . . its staging is superb, provided you are patient enough with break in. . . ... | |
| class d Hi Jimmy3993, yes I am running a Capri in my system consisting of TEAC X-01 Limited, JRDG 312, Vienna Mahler speakers. I prefer it over my ARC Ref 3. I have also run the Capri with NuForce Ref 9 SE and it worked perfectly. I could wax poetic about... | |
| Playback Designs MPS-5 CD/SACD Player Worry not Dave, we will reschedule the Austin meet before long! By the way, the DCS stack in question is not mine but Gshelley's. I run a TEAC X-01 Limited. G. | |
| class d Jimmy, look at the current ad for a JRDG Capri for approx 2.2K. Capri is balanced, has remote, HT bypass, has 0.5dB volume increments. G.See:http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?preatran&1223931452 | |
| class d Hi Jimmy3993, here is a slightly different path. . . I have just spotted an Agon ad for a brand new JRDG Continuum 500 for under $7K. This is an integrated roughly equivalent to a pair of 501 monos + 1500W PFC circuit (twice the capacity of the PC... | |
| Playback Designs MPS-5 CD/SACD Player Fab report Dave, can't wait to hear your MPS-5 in mid September! | |
| class d Jimmy3993, yes the amp will contribute to staging, like every other component. . . you'll see in a couple of weeks. I suggest you call Nuforce about the problem you are experiencing with the P9. I have tried 2 different pres with the NuForce Ref 9... | |
| class d Hi Jimmy3993, I can only think that someone tweaked gain on either pre or amps. . . this needs a call to Nuforce tech support. Guido | |
| class d Jimmy3993, I can only guess that mechanical vibrations, temperature excursions, and who knows what else may have a detrimental effect. . . besides you have no idea about their past history. . . so, assume the devices are almost new and start break... | |
| Vienna Mozart Grand or Beethoven Baby Grand Hi Beerad, I am delighted to learn that Baby Grands work well with Primaluna amps. . . I have heard the Prologue at PSCIALLI's place and thought it was an amazing sounding amp in its own right. G. | |
| class d Yeap, Nuforce amps sure do not like travelling, may take a week of real playing time before they forget how much they disliked the airplane's cargo hold. . . until such time, they'll keep reminding you about how unhappy you have made them! [smiles!] | |
| Vienna Die Muzick flagship speakers I agree with you Mdhoover, eventually, the success of the Muzick speakers will be a function of their musical performance. I hope some Agoner will report about them from SEDIA to start with. . . and I am looking forward to listening to them at som... | |
| Rowland owners which speaker you use & recommend Thank you Dtanclim. . . but now I just can't help asking. . . what has been the sonic effect of the PC1s on the your Rowland 501 monos, and how long did the PC1s take to break in and stabilize? Thanks again, Guido |
