| Fully upgraded Rega P3 vs P8 @orpheus10 did you notice a big improvement with the incognito rewire? How does it compare with the other upgrades? I found that the gt subplatter made the biggest difference followed closely by the TTPSU. Is the upgrade on that level or less? ... | |
| interconnect suggestions Thanks everyone for your input. It's been very helpful. I feel like this is the most difficult area of this hobby to find value, i.e. price to performance ratio. I will look into your suggestions. I am going to get some new interconnects, I ju... | |
| I like my Peachtree Nova300 more than my new (to me) Pass XA30.5 HELP! Thanks for everyone's input and interest. I have an update. My LTA MZ2 arrived yesterday and I have it installed in my system with the Pass XA30.5. Wow!! this combo is wonderful. All the things I found lacking using the Peachtree as a preamp ar... | |
| I like my Peachtree Nova300 more than my new (to me) Pass XA30.5 HELP! Thanks everyone for your input. This has been very helpful. Tvad and Al, I did install the jumpers in the XLR inputs so that part is out of the equation. I'm gonna see what happens with the LTA when it comes. Clearly the pre section in the Pea... | |
| I like my Peachtree Nova300 more than my new (to me) Pass XA30.5 HELP! Yes, I'm not going to 'pass' judgment until I get a preamp that I know pairs well with the Pass amp. I'm hoping that it's just a synergy thing. The Peachtree pre section has an output impedance of 100 ohms. Would that information have any beari... | |
| looking for a preamp for pass XA30.5 thanks guys, good info here. I'm wondering about the advantages of keeping everything in the system fully balanced? Many of the tube options I was looking at only have unbalanced RCA connections. How much of a compromise would I be making if I ... | |

| Upgrade for Paradigm Prestige 75F? Thanks b_limo and m-bd. I will continue the search! My friend has some Harbeths that I like a lot. I will try to audition more British speakers.m-db, one of the things that attracted me to the Paradigms in the first place was how I could hear e... | |
| Upgrade for Paradigm Prestige 75F? steakster thanks for the suggestion. I don't have power conditioning but I'm pretty sure it's not distortion. I'm fairly familiar with what distortion sounds like in its different forms and what I'm hearing is not itthanks | |
| Upgrade for Paradigm Prestige 75F? thanks sbrents73, I thought maybe it was the peachtree that was the culprit of the harsh high mids but I tried it with some different speakers (at friends houses) and it didn't have that problem. I think its the speakers that are responsible for ... | |
| Upgrade for Paradigm Prestige 75F? thanks gongli3, My friend has some harbeths that I like a lot. Much more lush in timbre than my paradigms (can't remember the model but on the less expensive end of the line). The Prestiges do better with soundstage and detail though. I'll look... | |
