As I said earlier, I have the Sim Titan, and never had ANY lack of the QUANTITY of bass, though it was not as tight and punchy as I wanted - UNTIL the VAC pre was added. It actually added even more depth and extension, while also firming up the bass that the Titan provided. I think this is a direct advantage of a tube pre with a transformer-coupled output design - it adds the tube mid-range qualities without sacrificing bass or treble extension, and the input impedance of the amp is far less critical.
That was after trying the Pass X2.5, Placette Active Linestage and a PSE HL-1 tube hybrid. They all seemed really good overall, but also just left the Sim with its standard bass characteristics - deep, sustained and sweet, but a just smidgen loose.
** Here's A Question for you all -
I have been wondering if, for the 2-channel listening and overall impact, would W-6 Monoblocks notably improve on what the Titan offers without changing the overall Sim 'flavor'? .....Or is it just an extra couple of power cords I have to buy.....
Any comments about the W-6's? PLEASE !?!?
