Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Anybody have experience with passive preamps?

2009-06-03 Thread duke43j

VTL is pretty sure it is a problem with the tubes in the output stage. I
am buying a pair of tubes from them that they will screen for noise.

 Introducing the ATC SCA2 into a general discussion about preamps is a
 bit like bringing the Ferrari Enzo into a debate about Fords and
 Toyotas.

Granted, the SCA2 is a superb piece of kit (I was extraordinarily lucky
to get a mint second hand one for well under half the list price), but I
mention it simply to make the point that the minimum possible number of
components is not *necessarily* the better option.

iPhone's comment, that it's hard to go wrong using the minimum number
of components, is spot on, I think.  Hard (probably so in the vast
majority of cases), but not *always* so.

I run my TP directly into my power amp (Classé CA-2200). It is now
connected with unbalanced cables - and appropriate -20db attenuation -
but I will upgrade to XLR as soon as my Endler's attenuators arrive.

Anyway, I can only strongly recommend this setup, as long as you don't
need the analog source management capabilities of a pre-amp. The sound
is just amazing! And remember, the shortest the audio path is, the
better the sound will be!
