| Accuphase C2400 How does it compare? So there is some love for this preamp. Don't know how it would sound with a Pass Labs X350.5 but it's definitely on my need to consider list. I'm down to about 4 preamps to choose from. The others are Pass XP20, Aethetix something, Esoteric C-03 a... | |
| Dialing in my analog rig - Need help Stops - it sounded pretty good tonight, but I know there's more there. I crank it up a notch tomorrow. I plan on rolling cables as well. It's still interesting though as I had this turtable dialed in by dealer with the VTA bottomed out!I wonder ho... | |
| Dialing in my analog rig - Need help I can't for the life of me honestly say I can decern the difference in sound with different loading. I'm pretending to say that 100 ohms sounds about right, except of course the bit of high frequency harshness and general over the top brightness f... | |
| Dialing in my analog rig - Need help I'm trying to determine what arm I have. How do you measure it? Total length or from the actual stem? Going to the VPI web site I still couldn't determine the model. No mechanical anti-skate, it's done with the tonearm wire. It measures 10.5 inche... | |
| Dialing in my analog rig - Need help Elizabeth - ya, they just as well have faced the arm the other direction. Come to think of it, it might have sounded better... | |
| Dialing in my analog rig - Need help Wow, really good advice. You guys and gal rock. The GCPH sounded so bad I was convinced it was broken. I took it back. LOL! Even the dealer thought it was broken. The second unit of course sounded equally as bad. Then one day the sun rose, the clo... | |
| Dialing in my analog rig - Need help Thanks Plato for your suggestions.My AC is taken care of. Dedicated circuit 10AWG cyro'd romex to Furutech or Teslaplex receptacle (depending on setup). Digital and analog front ends to Power Plant Premier, amp to wall. I should rotate my power co... | |
| Accuphase C2400 How does it compare? I sort of figured this wasn't a popular model preamp as there's so little information. But it is intriguing. | |
| Tyler Decades Not much press but how good? Using Pass Labs X350.5, no preamp yet, GCPH phono stage (has a gain control), PSA PW DAC (has a volume control) and Transport, cables are Harmonix Tech and really nice home brews ;). Speaker cables are Synergistic Research Tesla's.The Decade D1's ... | |
| a good pre amp with remote usd6000 or less used I was asking in the context of this thread, the fore mentioned pre's and the folks commenting here. It seemed relevant to me anyway and may be of interest to the gentleman who started this post. | |
| a good pre amp with remote usd6000 or less used Can anyone comment about the TRL Dude? | |
| a good pre amp with remote usd6000 or less used I'm looking too. I have a Pass X350.5 and no preamp. I'm twirling around the Pass XP-20, Bent Audio Tap X possibly for a passive, or even the new Modwright LS100.I had a Cary SLP-05 but sold it. Thought I could live without it. A foolish mistake I... | |
| Tyler Decades Not much press but how good? Ditto, mine are about 2 weeks out. | |
| Looking for a Preamp up to $3K The Pass, well yes that would solve the preamp search. Wonder if anyone has compared the MBL and Pass side by side?Not to familar with CJ components. Hum. | |
