Current goal is to extract the best sound I can from this equipment. I had wanted to bi-amp my Revels, however members of this site have properly convinced me to leave the speakers alone and first work with my room treatments.
I really do need a better componet rack. Also, I wonder about the tone arm/cartridge interaction between Rega P5 and Benz L2.
The current hardware is the end product of trade ups, 23 years of Naval service and plenty of storage units. I came by my amp and speakers about two years ago.
I just want to enjoy what I have. Right now its still boxed up. I have to incorporate into my room.
Thank you for you input. I will seriously look into one of the Aleph or First Watt's. I can not believe I never considered them. I guess I was overly curious about using tubes, and not really audio savy enough to know about level matching.
Thank you for helping me re-think some things. How about your system? Do you want or plan any upgrades or additions?
No I never thought of it. Mostly because of difference in WPC. Although I could not tell you what the first watt amps rate. That sounds like a very good idea. I just have to find one to audition. I do worry about level matching. I could find no documentation on the Aleph2 that listed its level stat.
Hello and thank you for looking and your comments.
I chose the Jolida based on some obscure reviews I found on-line about 3 years ago. I was also looking at the Underwood HiFi site and found they specialized in mods of various manufactures equipment. I saw the Jolida mod and could afford JD9A with mod level 2. Have been very happy with the buy. But I know I can make the entire system sound better if I imporve my room and perhaps the power amp. I do love the Pass Aleph2 I am curious as to how the system would sound in one of 2 configurations.
1. Using Aleph to power the top end of Studios and a good SS amp on the bottom.
2. Aleph2 on the bottom and a good tube amp for top end. My problem is I can not find either amp to match the Pass.
