It's interesting to read others experiences with the transporter! I love it, but it has me tweaking my ass off! My experience is that the transporter needs some color. There are many different ways of doing that. Tubes being the most obvious path. This goes beyond and around the question of using or not using a preamp in the signal. If one was to add a good tube pre I could see how that would really work well. I have the t-amp sound in my system. Very good but still tweaking caps. The sound is very precise but still a bit thin and clinical. Much more fleshed out than my mosfet Perreaux (which is considered as euphonic as most if any SS amps), but still a tad anemic. I think the challenge with the transporter is with matching the right analog leaning sound amplification/downstream reproduction to the mix. It seems it would be simpler to take the preamp out of the variables and go direct to a power amp. That way if it doesn't work you know what is wrong. I personally feel that the newer class D amps are a good place to start - Wyred4sound comes to mind! -- earwaxer Waxer Transporter Winsome labs mouse Maggie MMG's (modified) JPS Labs power cords Audioquest Granite speaker wire Silver Bullet interconnect HSU research sub ------------------------------------------------------------------------ earwaxer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32040 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64028 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
