Surround Sound Processors SSP : I give up
Ken G, After much thought and lots of listening I came to the same conclusion. But I recommend the Outlaw 950 pre-pro that sells for $900.00 and is quite competitive with processors that sell for up to $3k. Its a steal. As a matter of fact, it wil... 
Name this Preamp
Look at the new Outlaw 950. www.outlawaudio.com. It is just shipping & has a large backorder but is $900.00 and the best value in a pre-pro on them market today. Wally 
what is wrong with my Anthem PRE 2L
Turn off the preamp. Wait 30 minutes. Then swap the tubes from the right channel to the left channel and vice versa. If the lower level channel changes to the other channel you will kmow that you have at least one bad tube. If it stays in the same... 
Please suggest Preamp
Please note that unless you also have a volume control attached to the digital out on your preamp your system will not work. Digital volume is rare on any preamp. Please be careful. 
What would you do about a sleazy buyer??
If you have his email about purchasing the amps as proof of his offer I wonder if you could take him to small claims court. Talk to a lawyer about an oral contract based on performance. It would serve him right. Wally 
Sonic Frontiers is bankrupt?
As I understand them, the facts are as follows. Sonic Frontiers has made the decision to exit the tube business. This is because their Anthem Home Theater business is doing exceptionally well while the 2-channel tube business is slowly decaying. T... 
I'm new & need help? What receiver to buy?
For less than $2k you can buy the Outlaw 950 processor and their matching 165 watts x 5 ch power amplifier. This package will kill any receiver, give you 7.1 flexability in the future and allow you to drive any speakers you might ever get. Check t... 
Tube preamp With 2 single ended outputs.
All the Line series preamps from Sonic Frontiers (Line 1,2,3 and the SE versions) have 2 single ended and 2 balanced outs along with a HT passthrough. Wally 
Receiver used as a pre-amp?
As long as the receiver has preamp outputs you should be able to use it until you can get your CJ. Wally 
Amp cutting out/shutting off at same place on CD
Since you have had no issue with the Soliloquy's it sounds like the James speakers have a crazy low impedance in the bass. When the CD gets crazy the speaker demands an insane amount of current from the amp into its low impedance and the amps prot... 
Sonic Frontiers Power 2 + Infinity Kappas=?
I used to sell Kappa 9's. You must keep the rear switch OUT of the extended position to have any chance with the Power-2. The Kappa-9's drop below 1 ohm in the extended position. In any event you should probably look for another speaker as tube am... 
Pre out main in splitting?Maybe a quot;well duh quot; Q
The splitter will not cause any load problems to either amp and you can do exactly what you want. I have had many customers do this over the years without any issues. 
Sonic Frontiers with Digital Tone Control...?
It should go thru the SSP input since the tape loop is a fixed gain that would probably blow up your speakers. You would have no volume control thru the tape loop. You would have to run a seperate output from your phono into the NAD as well as the... 
Sony 9000ES mods
Go to www.modwright.com. Dan does very good work and is extremely honest. 
What Speakers ??
Look at the Monitor Audio Silver-5i and Silver-8. You may be able to get a pr of 8's used for around $1K. They are extremely dynamic and if you are going to use a sub work great with rock. You might try a Hsu VTF-2 with the Silver 5i as that will ...
