A conductor friend (who is also an audiophile) brought over a few of his own recordings to listen to... now here is someone with a correct reference. After an hour or so and three or four of his recordings, he turned to me and said, “Yes, that is the way it was."

- Då har man lyckats :o:mm:

Ja, jösses... :o Ett totalgrepp på lyssningssituationen skulle man kunna säga... :D

Redan som Exquisite Reference 1 A (eller var det B?) är ju dessa Kharmahögtalare en hifidröm. Snart drar det väl ihop sig till externt delningsfilter... :?: Ägaren är sedan länge medlem i Clubphoto och där har man kunnat följa uppgraderingsaktiviteterna. Nu är albumet delvis utbytt, vilket är synd för det har varit en del godbitar på vägen.

...my audio philosphy is to have the system get out of the way of the event. i like as pure and simple a signal path as possible and, at this point, prefer passive to active gain stages

- Han använder en passiv (remote) volymkontroll från Placette Audio och på AudioAsylum (eller var det Audiogon ?) diskuteras det friskt om för och nackdelar med passiv volymkontroll mot aktivt försteg och just denna volymkontroll anses vara mycket bra. :)

På Audiogon kommenterar han en test i Stereophile '04

his point on dynamics was that he percieved 'trade-offs' but not necessarily shortcomings. in some cases an active pre will allow more bass slam but at the expense of articulation and speed. so far i prefer the overall dynamic performance of the Placette to any active pre (with the possible exception of the CTC Blowtorch).

i have used the Placette RVC for over 2 years. to my ears, in my system, it has clearly bettered EVERY active preamp i have tried (6 or 7 mostly in the $10k to $15k range) without dynamic shortcommings (except compared to the CTC Blowtorch). i have also compared the RVC to other passives (including transformer and autoformer based) and preferred the RVC clearly (except the Silver Rock which had sonic tradeoffs but also no remote).

if your system has a natural balance without the need for the added 'something' that EVERY active pre adds.....you need to try the Placette. that 'added something' gets between me and the music.....at least to my ears.

- låter intressant ;)

:app::mm: Framförallt gillar jag kopplingen ljudrum, bibliotek och en skön stol, kan knappast bli mer optimalt då allt det goda finns inom bekvämt räckhåll.

På den tiden jag bodde ensam letade jag upp en lämplig skiva, fixade en kanna te och hämtade en intressant bok, och sedan läste jag och lyssnade i timmar ömsom mer koncenterard i boken, ömsom med boken nedsjunken knäet och intensivt lyssnande.
