| best preamps HmmmmDa Best?I like CJ tube pre myself. Sounds great with both tube and SS amps. | |
| Who makes the highest quality tube amps? I've had two pairs of VTL monos. Deluxe 300s and my new Compact 100s. I really like both of them. No lack of power and pair well with a CJ PV10a. Getting nice instrument separation and detail out of my old pair of AR90s. | |
| Tube Pre-Amp, vs Solid State with Tone Controls/EQ to take edge off the top end? Personally I like the synergy between a tube pre and a SS amp. I have a CJ pre with Threshold amps. My speakers are Infinity RS-1s which I've "heard" have a hot top end. Never noticed this myself. | |

| Pass Labs vs Mark Levinson vs Parasound - best 2 channel amp used under $2,500? Threshold s/500 II. The one with optical bias. It should be in your price range recapped. | |
| threshold amp I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. Do you like the sound? If yes then just listen to it. I have a S/300. Love to have a S/500 but do I really have a need for it; no. I have a couple pairs of speakers and have no issues driving them. Now if you bou... | |

| What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker? Don't listen to much heavy metal these days but what I do have sounds nice on my AR-90s. My Infinities sound nice as well but volume wise it ain't gonna happen. |
