| best preamps in the 4K-8K range Check out www.H-cat.com for info on the North American Products 12 preamp ($3995.00). IHMO, I don't think there is anything better. I have owned many fine preamps over the years (Audio Research, Threshold, Spectral, Krell just to mention a few. No... | |
| Amps for Avantgarde You should audition North American Products H-Cat Preamp, latest version. Absolutely the best there is IMHO. See their website at www.H-cat.com for a list of dealers or contact them direct. Don't think you'll be sorry. | |
| Whatever Happened To SAE? I don't know what happended to SAE, but the fellow who owned it was Morris Kessler. Very nice guy. I met him when I visited Arnie Nudell and John Ulick at Infinity Systems in Canoga Park, Ca back in 1970 or 71. I was in the army at the time and I ... | |
| 0 feedback sellers I wouldn't do any business with Viridian under any circumstances. To state that most of Audiogoners are on the fringes of society is very demeaning and indicates a person with an attitude of superiority over the rest of us. Just my opinion, but it... | |
| "Reference" Preamps If you can do without a remote, you owe it to yourself to try and audition the H-Cat preamp from North American Products. See their website for a list of dealers at www.H-Cat.com. I personally think it is the best preap regardless of price. | |
| Hail to Mcintosh My McIntosh gear goes back to 1959. I owned A C-20 Preamp, MC30 power a, Mc275 power amp. I got away from McIntosh for quite a number of years. I have a pair of Duntech Sovereigns that I've had for 20 years. I used ARC amps, Spectral, NRG, Edge M8... | |
| VPI Scout and Scout Master questions? Can I place. Why don't you contact Harry Wiesfeld at VPI? There isn't a finer human being on the planet. He will always answer your questions. | |
| Laser unit for Sony XA7ES CD player Call Sony at 1-866-357-6230. It is located in Laredo, Tx. I had 2 or 3 Beta VCR's repaired there. Very courteous and they did very good work. Ask for Adrien, but anybody can help you. Good luck. | |
| Passive Pre - No Regrets? Agree with TBG. I have tried passive pre-amps (Placette) for one. Very clean, but does not have the dynamic punch. I currently use the H-Cat pre and it is IMHO, the best pre-amp that I have ever heard in my 50 years of this this wild, crazy hobby ... | |
| Step Down Transformer Glory, one thing that all the threads advising you have forgotten is the fact that you will have to get a motor pulley for 60 hertz operation as Europe voltage is 50 hertz. The motor will not run at the correct speed. | |
| Achieving Preamp nirvana with a SF Line 3? If you're looking for audio nirvana, you should try and listen to North American Products H-Cat preamp. Go to www.H-Cat.com. They are presently contemplating a dealer in Arizona. I have been a music lover/audiophile for more years that I care to a... | |
| Have you seen the VR9SE Review? Right on Jaybo. You hit the nail right on the head. I have a 20 year old pair of Duntech Sovereigns designed by John Dunlavy while he was in Australia and there's not a heck of a lot of speakers out there that are as musical and dynamic. The big D... | |
| which preamp sounds most transparent? H-Cat 12B with Wavefront Timing Control. Incredible preamplifier. | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE I HAVE OWNED THE DUNTECH SOVEREIGNS FOR 18 YEARS AND I SEE NO REASON TO CHANGE THEM. A TRULY MAGNIFICIENT SPEAKER. | |
| One more Power Cord Needed...Advice? I have tried all the "top contenders" in power cords. Acoustic Zen, Audience, etc. In my humble opinion, the Xindak Gold Power cord is in a world of it's own. This also pertains to their Gold Interconnects. I don't know what the Chinese folks know... |
