| Pre-Amp for Class D Amp Yes, tube active, lush even, to round out stark but clear class D and detailed B&W. Maybe Conrad-Johnson. Perhaps a pre which uses 6SN7's. Cary SLP-98. Stay away from passive pre's with D class amps. | |

| High end dealers around London, UK? http://www.divineaudio.co.uk/brands/croft-acousticsIn my experience, Croft is hard-to-beat UK equipment. One by one, hand wired point-to-point minimalist design. Reasonably priced, Bullet proof and just sounds right. Tubes and tube/hybrid designs.... | |
| Looking for integrated amp with phono for starter Croft! Excellent recommendation. I'll second that. | |
| What is This Noise? Loved the Soup suggestion. Although static is never good for digital, I suspect the first answer is correct and the laser just needs to be cleaned. Didn't you just have a monster dust storm? Well, it's probably dusty enough there just normally. So... | |
| What would cause... I'm sure you've already checked the tonearm wire connections so I'd take it back asap. You don't want to buy a problem. If you take things back right away, they'll probably replace it with a new one. If not, you'll probably have to wait for them t... | |
| Audio Research SP17 or Modwright LS100? -Great advice, Dad. Paradoxically, the more you get into this interest with reviews & opinions the more clouded can your assessments become. Try to ignore the price tags and just purely listen. "Only by keeping it simple can the most complex b... | |
| Peachtree iNova issue Your instincts are right. A burning electrical smell, emanating from your equipment is generally not a good thing. 1.) Call Peachtree and hope they'll have you send it in/make you a "B" stock deal.2.) Buy something used on Audiogon you've been wan... | |
| Do I Have the Wrong Cartridge? In a nutshell, your phono stage doesn't have enough headroom for your high output MM. Your cartridge is minimal, the phono stage inadequate for your dynamic classical recordings. Perhaps go back to a lower output quality cartridge, I'd say. Or, a ... | |
| Blindly deafly? bought Purple Flare cables... So now you know why you're "here", on audiogon where you can buy cables for generally 50%. Try 'em and trade 'em with minimal damage. Read, talk, try. There is a synergistic combination that exists for any system (and they're all different) so the... | |
| Power supply to Amplifier Al is correct in that you have to have protection for when you forget to unplug (obviously the best) your equipment and a lightning storm descends up on you (it will happen). I have Brickwall unit(s) for this as well. Elizabeth is right in that yo... | |
| Speaker cable and brightness control Another thought....maybe the Martin Logan's are the problem, in that most electrostatic type speakers do need to be a bit "cranked" to sound good, not so hot at low volumes, so you've been developing hearing problems by, again, listening too loudl... | |
| Speaker cable and brightness control Given your price constraints, I'd try buying a used, middle of the road price-wise audioquest digital cable. See if that doesn't help before proceeding with expensive tubes. Your other components seem adequate. Digital is the fastest still-evolvin... | |
| Dodd Tube Buffer Sure, just use the tape out (rec out) which is a line level constant volume.Use the headphone amp volume control to attenuate. | |
| How can a 30 watt, 28 year old amp sound more Probably the power supply. Is the NAD appreciably heavier? |
