Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter straight into an amp
You can experiment a little if your Krell has Pre Out/Main In. Then you can run the TP into Main In and then only use its poweramp section. It also depends on your speakers, I think that if you have Martin Logan the McIntosh would be a terrific match, along with the TP. You will find lots of threads here about running the TP straight into a poweramp, almost everybody report a gain in fidelity bypassing the preamp. You need a very very good preamp otherwise -- Anne Squeezebox 3 > Stereovox XV2 > Bryston B100-DA SST > Carlsson OA50.2 > Sennheiser HD580 Precision Anne's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46255 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter straight into an amp
I'm thinking about buying a nice amp and running the transporter straight into it. So far I've tried the TP with a Krell integrated 400xi. The well-recorded CDs I have sounded the best I've ever heard but the other 70% were a mixed bag. I think the Krell was just too good - no forgivness there! Any compression or boosted highs just shredded my ears. I'm running a Musical Fidelity A308 dual-mono which sounds pretty good too but I'm considering running the TP either straight into a Ayre V5Xe or a Mcintosh C252 and trying that. The MF makes about 80% of my CDs sound good but the good ones aren't as good as they were on the Krell. The MF has a nice warmth to it. Any of y'all doing that? I don't really need a pre-amp as the TP would be the only input. I'm also thinking about going to an all-tube setup but that's another story. regards, David -- wireless200 wireless200's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11887 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46255 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
