| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @minatophase3 The Holo Serene Coda S5.5 pairing would be very interesting. Please do share your impressions when you try them together. | |
| The Emperor Has No Clothes!! @mahler123 That's funny! And true! | |
| Bryston BP-17 cubed or Benchmrk LA4 Preamp Congrats on the Pass XP-12! Let us know how it sounds in your system. The Apt Holman preamp was legendary in its day. | |
| The Emperor Has No Clothes!! @mdalton Boxster S 6-speed, incredibly agile, stable and fast, wife loves it! Owned my dream car- black carrera base 7- speed, uninspiring really, wife was intimidated by it, so sold it. Should have bought a 4S instead but it too would have become... | |
| The Emperor Has No Clothes!! @mdalton On the lighter side... If you think your S4 performs better when it's clean versus dirty, next time put a coat of good wax or sealant on then report back on the seat of the pants performance enhancement :) (former chipped A4 owner, 312k... | |
| Bryston BP-17 cubed or Benchmrk LA4 Preamp @kevemaher If it has a volume control, have you tried connecting the BDA-3 directly to your amp? You would need to turn the gain way down before doing this. The sound will tell you which direction, warmer or more neutral than the M-L, you are look... | |

| Dd67000 crossover points? That’s very interesting. Can you share what some of those subjective comments were with and without the ultra tweeter? I am curious how it was perceived. | |
| Preamp for a GaN-FET amp... I think Guttenberg was actually surprised at how good the Holo Serene sounded. He certainly talked a lot about the music which I believe is a strong compliment. | |
| Preamp for a GaN-FET amp... Please post your impressions when you get the new Holo preamp. | |
| My Four Favorite SS Amps @erik_squires +1 My "just for fun" funds dried up the day I retired! I can't imagine anyone owning a CAT preamp rushing to do the comparison. | |
| My Four Favorite SS Amps Agree with Vandy amps driving Vandy speakers. Just for fun I'd experiment with a Holo Serene KTE preamp in front. Now that would be an interesting comparison to the C.A.T. pre. | |
| Help With New Preamp Decision For what the Rhumba 1.4 Extreme sells for new it should not sound congested. I can't imagine that's typical. Wondering if you gave the "upgrades" long enough to break in. | |
| Alternative to Ayre k-5XeMP preamp. Why not ask the seller? | |
| Help With New Preamp Decision @vthokie83 your finalists are all well respected preamps. Congratulations on the new Aric Audio Motherlode XL! I hope after receiving it you can break away from the music long enough to let us know how satisfied you are! |
