Description

Remarkable on my first audition in my system. So pre-amps are sound processors after all! Can't wait to hear more.

Components Toggle details

    • Rega P9
    Very British, what more can I say
    • Rega RB-1000
    Everybody screams: "why no VTA adjustment". Well, just because.
    • Ortofon Kontrapunkt B
    Worked hard to set it up, still some work to do
    • Audio Research PH-5
    Now have the gain that was missing straight in without the transformer.
    • Sony SCD-XA9000ES
    Quite impressive build quality and sound both for CD and SACD reproduction
    • Adcom GFT-555 mkII
    Seldom listen to radio. Good enough for me. Should get an outdoor antenna.
    • Audio Research REF-2 mkII
    A marked improvement. So preamps are sound processors after all!
    • Digiflex Studioflex C6-XX-C4
    Inexpensive balanced cable from pre to monoblocks. Will do for now.
    • Nordost Blue Heaven
    About as much money as I want to spend on cables...
    • Infinity Prelude MTS
    the Rodney Dangerfields of large speaker systems
    • Audioquest King Cobra
    I liked the colour of the jacket
    • Tara Labs RSC Prime 500
    Needed single wire, found these for small change.

Pbb,

You may want to consider Eminet Technology LFTVIII's, damned good at a very reasonable price. Hmmm... I know you're in eastern Canada, if you happen to be near Montreal you can always drop by and listen to mine for a while? Best, Jeff
