Will take it safely and bring those back to your house... As an gesture will give 5 or 10 CD's (English European pressing) as gift when returning back:licklips:

Hey Srini that's not fair. :annoyed:
If not European pressings, least give me Indian/ African / Ullasnagar pressings

Hi Srini
Why only an Emotive? Won't any other pre do the trick?

Thanks George, actually few minutes back edited and added the same.

Added the review here http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/preamplifiers/689-emotiva-usp-1-stereo-preamplifier.html?start=1 made me to write like that.. why not one tube pre + solid state(budgeted) which is having nice reviews.

Ok got it.You also have the option of coming to Bangalore and doing an audition of a valve pre and ss power amp at my place!

Or a solid state pre and a valve power amp!

Hi George,

I think (though not sure) the reverse should sound better.

BTW whats your opinion on this product:

Emotiva Audio | mini-X a-100 Stereo Flex Amp

Also will a power amp enhance the listening experience compared to Integrated?

Is Poweramp an overkill for BS speakers?

Sorry for too many questions, but your opinion and experience will throw more light.

Thanks in advance,

N.Murali

Hi Murali

Sure, but plan only after mid Jan. I have some personal commitments till then.

I have an AKSA 55N, in dual mono, as the ss power amp, mated to a Grounded Grid valve pre. It sound very nice( to my ears, I may add!)
