| Wells Audio Commander Lev II or Aesthetix Janus Sig? I have the Aesthetic Janus Signature also and can say it is a great preamp and the company and factory are top notch. They have always been available and offer some decent, price sensible upgrades. I am keeping mine as well as a couple others and ... | |
| What improvements would I get with a "better" preamp? I would suggest as some others have said the Backert Rhumba, BAT VK-32SE, any of the Ayre preamps as well as the Canary Audio line of preamps (all RCA ins and outs). | |

| Balanced Audio Technology phono preamp VK-P80 My friend and I both bought new ones of the VK-P80 last year, I am using mine with a VPI table, so is he but he also has a TTW table that he uses it with. We both believe that it is a very good phono stage, is dead quiet, has great top, mids and b... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT-8c Robert Greene review Couple of things, the speakers I believe that a few are talking about are the "new proposed design" that ET showed at the Florida Audio Fest a few years ago and they were called the 18LS, a planar panel of tweeter and midrange and a tall "box" of ... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT-8c Robert Greene review I have a pair of the 16's and have used them with a pair of REL subs and by themselves they are a great stand mount 3 way speaker, definitly much better than other box stand mount speakers. I have them on custom solid oak sand/steel shot filled st... | |
| BAT amp + cheap pream vs BAT integrated vs Prima Luna integrated I am a BAT believer and past and current owner of their tube and solid state units. Agree the synergy is with all BAT stuff but I have had BAT solid state amps (real good) mated with their solid state preamps and their tube preamps. The earlier BA... | |
| Van Alstine DVA M225 & Backert Labs 1.3 I have posted this before but it needs mentioning again, the Backert Labs Rhumba 1.3 preamp is a great preamp and literally can transform a mediocre system to one of higher end. It is a game changer and hats off to the designer and builders of thi... | |

| Backert Labs preamp, now a New Power Amp I am a Backert Rhumba 1.3 owner also and am using a pair of Psvane 12au7 tubes that really make this preamp sing. Next on the docket will be a pair of Toshiba 5693's that I am buying from Andy at Backert Labs. FYI, I am selling my original Backer... | |

| Six month review of Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme 1.4 Well I have to write a brief first impression on the Rhumba 1.3 Preamp, it has Psvanne Tubes in it. Upon first hooking it up in my 2 channel audio system and listening to it for the last few days, all I can say is WOW I have never heard a tube pre... |
