Hi Darkmoebius, thank you for the advices.
I quite agree with you, but would
not promote the TVC pre as a universal solution.
Here is my experience.I tested different things.
I listened to the combo Wright apms+TVC with a
old marantz CD player (quite decent sound but nothing
high-end). Anyhow this CDP had plenty of "juice" and may be
too much gain for the Wright pre.
But according to my ears CD player+TVC+Wright monos
sounded very clean but flat with highs rolled off.About my SB, yes the amp-op is removed and i did not
even try with the TVC! With SB+Wright pre and wright
monos i can tell you that the length of the interconnect
after the SB was crucial - as you suggested. Even though
with the smallest cables i could built I was not satisfied
by the sound (again not "enough dynamics", "flat" kind of
sound).
I may try a bit more things with the SB, but i am
going to use the digital out anyway now.
By the way the value of the coupling cap on my modded
sb was too high. The effect was that the sound was
"softer" --- more bass !--- but it is just because and
the highs were rolled off. But totally inaccurate: I lost
the image certainly due to that cap.Eventually, I concluded that the Wright pre (high gain!)
and Wright monos matched very well giving a very precise
open & dynamics sound (of course with the adequate
speakers)To come back to Jim's problem, I would advise him
if he can - to test with his source and his amp.Best,
Vincent
