| What are your suggestions for a pre-amp? Since you say "will have" I recommend you put together differentially a balanced system. Something like the PS Audio GCC series and a Raysonic 168 CD player. The 168 has a fantastic variable tube outs, so you can just get an amp. But, if you want ... | |
| Mixing a Classe 2 channel amp with ice 3 channel ? HT theater setups are a huge compromise to 2 channel done well.Get a powered sub if you need more room filling sound | |
| best preamp under 4000 to match 4b sst Parasounf JC 2, and tun them balanced. If yourt source is not balanced, time to upgrade. Raysonic 168, 228, 238 are balanced designs. My 168 is now for sale, as I replaced it with the 228. Have a max budget for CD of <$2,000, I'm your man. FYI,... | |
| amp for maggies 3.6 I am using the Wyred 4 Sound MC 250/500 biamping my 3.5Rs. The W4S is a balanced design but can be run SE, though I don't know why. Of course your source would need to be balanced to appreciate the huge benefits of a balanced system. I augment the... | |
| What integrated beats AES Sixpacs? Budget $3500 PS Audio GCC series either 100/250/500 | |
| Silver cables and CD players It depends on the silver and the gauge. Clear Day Cables uses a wonderful sounding silver in both their speaker cables and Hologram interconnects.PS Audio also uses an excellent silver in their Transcendent series | |
| powercord for a Symphonic Line La Musica Check out the new Reference series of PCs from Tek Line Cables. I am using both the microReference Xtreme and "The Reference" if you can afford $750 PCs, The Reference would be my recommendation | |
| Which DAC for $5K or less? The problem with most dacs is the connection between transport and dac. Berkley offers several alternatives to the pathetic SPDIF and AES/EBU. Unless your transport outputs a high res, separates are waste.Check out the Raysonic 168 or 228. I just ... | |
| Spectron Mk II, is it really that good. I an't speak to the specific Spectron model you asked about, but, I have been using Wyred 4 Sound amps for over a year. No matter what I have changed upstream, isolation/vibration devices, they are readily apparent.I just upgraded my Rayconic 168 ... | |
| Solid State Preamp recommendation for $2500? PS Audio GCP/GCPS. Nothing compares in this price range. Next best would be the Parasound JC 2, which just got product of the year from Absolute Sound, but is $4000 | |
| Mapleshade Brass Footers w/ Rega P3-24 ? Investigate the Machina Dynamica Promethean springs | |
| replace a full Cello System? She should audition the new Carver sat/sub speaker system. The room size and acoustics will significantly compromise the sound she is acustomed to. THe benefit of a Pallete might be neglegible, or more necessary. Hard to say.She will need A PS Aud... | |

| Which tubed pre to "flesh out" my mids??? If your source and amp are balanced designs (more than just having XLR I/Os) then your priority would be a balanced tube pre such as BAT, Vincent just came out with one though I have no idea as to its' sonic signature | |
| Used monitor under$600 with good bass low levels Shoot for a sat/sub system. Getting bass out of the main speaker is a real plus. Most of the real high end speakers are sat/sub! I have a pair of Warfdale Diamonds (biamp) that sound quite good with a powered sub |
