| Threshold T-200. Help me choose a preamplifier @vetusto, Not rude at all. My suggestion to sell, was in part due to system complications, but mostly because this 25 year old(?) amp could be a maintenance challenge. | |
| Threshold T-200. Help me choose a preamplifier The 10 to 1 is a minimum guide (but a time proven, good one) not a hard rule. With that said these T series products have a few questionable technical attributes for both amps and pres. | |
| Threshold T-200. Help me choose a preamplifier @vetusto, Within the right applications balanced can have its advantages, but there’s much more to consider. I’m not sure what speakers your trying to drive, or for that matter what your sources are, but perhaps you should sell the Threshold and c... | |
| Threshold T-200. Help me choose a preamplifier @vetusto, No need to apologize. Stupid would be not asking, when doing so would provide the answer.OP = original poster: you. | |
| Threshold T-200. Help me choose a preamplifier @vetuso. What I posted, is that the “balanced” output of the Pass would not be good with the “balanced” inputs of the Threshold. And, that the balanced circuitry was part of the expense of the Pass. As has been pointed, out while a pre with a suit... | |
| Threshold T-200. Help me choose a preamplifier Part of the expense that went into that Pass pre was for it's balanced circuitry, which won't be a good match into your Threshold amp.

| Thiel Owners While there are arguments to be made for either separate transports and DAC’s, or all in one players, but ultimately I think that all in one players with input capabilities tend to be the value leaders. Digital products tend to hold their value mu... | |
| Threshold T-200. Help me choose a preamplifier In addition to what has already been posted regarding who designed the “T” series Threshold gear, I’d like to add that the Pass Labs pre’s are designed by Pass Lab’s co-owner Wayne Colburn. | |
| Threshold T-200. Help me choose a preamplifier @rocray, actually none of those items were designed by Nelson Pass. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Perhaps:Pairs of separate chassis with side mounted vertical North/South volume knobs extending past the face plates for simplified easy dual mono volume/balance control.: eg.: ——()()——balanced input / output (Perhaps non-logarithmic sans deten... | |
| HDMI vs 7.1-channel analogue outputs The better audio amplifiers are much more likely to have analog inputs than HDMI inputs. | |
| Coda Class A Amplifiers Though not specific to Coda, the meters found on home audio gear are almost never calibrated, and frequently misinform more often than inform. | |
| Thiel Owners @Jafant, am confident that I am not alone in thinking that there are instances where the CS 2.7 and/or the CS 3.7 would require subwoofers. Utilizing a proper power amp will not unto itself act as an equalizer to yield aural results across the f... | |
| Power conditioner some say yes and some say no. @rixthetrick, I haven’t compared with and without, as not using them isn’t really an option, I need the extra receptacles they provide. | |
| Power conditioner some say yes and some say no. I use a couple of fairly inexpensive units mostly to add outlets, offer some protection from brown and black outs, facilitate cable management and separate analog from digital components. |
