Cambridge Audion Azur 840 C problems
Thanks for all the feedback, it's much appreciated. I had this same problem with this same machine a year ago. Than for no apparent reason it started worked fine again, until now so I took the top off and played a c-d so that when it started actin...

Preamp recomendation
Thanks Timlub (and everyone) I'm thinking my system may not be high end enough to take advantage of the high quality of some of these recommendations. I suppose if I had really good stuff, properly matched, proper room treatments and perfect ears,... 
Preamp recomendation
Thanks for the additional explanation. It makes more sense to me now. I will definitely research this option further. Timlub, I have considered the Adcom GFP750. Are you able to control Bass and Treble with this. Somewhere I got the idea you could...

Preamp recomendation
Thanks for those recommendations, I'll check them out further on the net. I own an Aragon 18-K with the penny and giles volumn upgrade. I wonder how that would pair up with the Ultracurve pro DEQ2496 that Xxqq250 recommended. I see it gets good ra... 
Preamp recomendation

Doug...The reason for bringing up the break in period was because the dealership seemed to think the initial hundred hours made a big difference, and would probably benefit from even longer playing time. Perhaps he was over stateing it knowing I w...

Doug...curious as to what listening environment you had for the HD's. I noticed they are ported in the rear, and have read that they are designed to interact somewhat with the surrounding walls and such to achieve its goals. this it seems might ma...

My room give or take is app. 18' deep x 24' wide. The cieling goes from 8' high at the front (speaker location) wall to about 12' high above the listener if he were sitting 12 from the front wall. I have plenty of room for speaker placement. I wo...
