I heard the volksamp version of the aleph 30. It's one of the very best solid state amps I have heard. I recall that when we ran it straight out of the wadia 30, the sound was some of the best I had heard. When we ran it through an Audio Research 12, the sound took on significant degredation. A preamp mismatch may be what you are experiencing. I have read that you need an active preamp with lots of gain to drive the aleph 30. That may be similar to what you are experiencing. Also, I have read that the alephs sound like an ordinary ss amp until they have been on for a whole hour.

rogue audio doesn't put the output impedence spec in their 99 preamp manual. at least it wasn't in the manual that came w/*my* 99... which is why i tried crossing the 99's outputs w/differing resistors. as i previously said, a 2.2k-ohm resistor audibly reduced the volume of my rig, when the rogue was hooked up to my 25k-ohm impedence crossover. *no* drop in volume w/the 2.2k-ohm resistor crossing the cary preamp's outputs, which is rated at 800 ohms output impedence. this is why i believe that the rogue 99's output impedence is at least 2k-ohms. i've asked pass labs for input on a 2k-2.4k-ohm preamp driving their aleph-3, & haven't gotten a definitive answer; i'll post it when i receive it.

Thanks for the response Dave. I agree that "natural" bass is best, ie as opposed to overly prominent bass of some components. My McCormack DNA-2DX does bass very well & with good PR&T too. It runs just hot enough to attract our cat who occasionally sleeps on top of it-- while it is playing-- hope your feet are OK. I'm glad to hear you've successfully tried biwiring, as that's one of the reasons I've stayed away from the Aleph amps. For now, I just acquired a Sonic Frontiers Power 2 (lots of tubes) that I'm enjoying. I don't seem to be able to stay away from big amps (it weighs 110 lbs). So the Aleph will have to wait:-). Cheers. Craig.
