My CR-1's are 2 feet (maybe plus a few inches) from the front wall and almost cross-fire in front of me. They are probably a little further apart than TAD recommends, but as time went on, I'd move them in tiny amounts. All in all, I am very happy ...

Synergy is the key!

Ciro,I was just fooling around about the double post. No worries. I am glad you are happy. In the right system, Burmester can be wonderful. I like Dartzeel and D'Agostino better. It's just my opinion.

You didn't need to say it twice :) I've moved on from Burmester.

I was using a Burmester 077 with external power supply. I do admit the 077 is a superb preamp.

Yes, my Dartzeel is better, IMO, than my Burmester gear and many others I've had. I am happy. Cable upgrades are on the list but this gear is wonderful.

Well it's time for an update. Slightly more than one year later I was finally able to add the Dartzeel 18NS preamp to my beloved Dartzeel 108 amp. Holy cow is there magic in these components. I still need to add the zeel bnc cable but I am loving ... 
D'Agostino Momentum amp melts down
If anyone wants to send me their "defective" D'Ag Momentum amps, I be happy to take them off your hands.:) 
Macintosh MC452 or Mark Levinson 532H
Stick to same manufacturer for the amp and preamp combo. I think it will be better in the long run. Synergy does exist. 
Please tell me about the Coda Technologies 15.0
Thanks Dave,I forgot about CES. I can't wait to see all the new gear released after the show. Should be fun.

It's probably a ground loop hum. I had something like that on the same amp (as well as many others) and a cheater plug (3 prong into 2 adapter on the AC cord) solved the issue. Try the amp first, then the preamp and so on.Good luck.

Thanks Ren,I'll contact CODA after the new year. I do not want to bother them until after the holidays. It looks like CODA and specifically the 15.0 will drive just about anything.

Thanks Guys. I plan on talking to CODA before I pull the trigger. I know my VAC Sig IIa has a very low output impedance. That was one of the many reasons why I bought it in the first place so it should match well with almost any amp.On speakers, I...

Ren,Thank you so much for your offer. Yes, your answer is extremely helpful and I appreciate it very much. I may call when I get closer to a purchase/trial date. I am still in research mode and have a few other pieces on my list to compare. It sou...

VAC Sig IIa. I love it. I saw the CODA love in other posts and it has me intrigued.
