Itâs pretty big but what a fabulous piece of kit which cost me nothing just traded in an EAR 324 and COS D1 pre which I bought predominantly for its DAC but realise now it was the main problem in my system.
Complete impedance mismatch Iâve got tons of headroom now was maxing the COS volume out

And people who donât know the difference between âinferâ and âimplyâ
I infer from that statement that you are implying that you do know the difference. I wish I did.

âImplyâ means to state indirectly using allusion or suggestion whereas âinferâ is how upper class women dress.

The real weakness of my system has always been the pre amp. Currently this is an old technics SU-X860 which is actually an integrated amp with external pre / power links. While I love technics kit itâs not that great and just does the jobâ and no more.
I of course have a number of âwatched itemsâ on that eBay place and occasionally they send offers to people watching items. I picked up a tissot heritage navigator for a ridiculously low price and a short while ago I got an offer to buy a Tag McLaren Avr32 for under ÂŁ200 including postage.
I remember back in the early aughts the TM AVR32 was always well regarded as not only an av processor but also as a 2 channel pre. So I thought itâd be rude not to.
Should be here early next week so fingers crossed itâs not fucked or sounds like nails down a blackboard, mind you I lived with a Naim NAC82 for years so anything will sound good.
Anyone use / used one a a pre? Have I made I gigantic fuck up?

Whoâs the daddy - the Xtreme 2 thatâs who.
Ludicrous thing which I snagged for the same price as the Charge 5 and the added bonus is when I plugged it into my telly for playing xbox games it sounds amazing.

I got the Xtreme 3 For Ellie to take to Uni. theyâre ludicrously loud pieces of kit, incredible bass too. Chris the dude gave me a discount code so a brand new one was the same price as a refurb.

I had to download a graphic equaliser app for my phone as the bass was a bit too powerful

Would you say itâs good quality bass though? I have a Sonos One which has amazing bass output for the size but frankly itâs quite boomy/mushy (although itâs playing from my kitchen counter which probably doesnât help).
Yes very good but I think itâs obviously set up for the 24 hour party people once I tweaked it via the app it was superb as is using it for xbox games.
