Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

RE: They are all pretty good- and they all have problems

"IMO/IME this may well be the best argument for a good line section- the cable becomes immaterial and in any other situation the cable is very important!"

Now THAT'S a real interesting way to look at it and has a lot of merit in my book. Need to mull it a bit further. Off hand I think it would be even better to say that the output cable should be part of the preamp.

One problem I see is if you don't know the characteristic impedance of cable you can't do a good conjugate match so if the power Amp. has poor RF rejection you may be stuck and the cable will make a significant difference.

It's hard to imagine many other systems in this day and age as poorly defined and specified as our legacy gear, makes them entertaining in more ways than one!
