[#1] Music First Audio (MFA) Passive Pre-amp    
Dear all members and audiophile,

I am using MFA pre-amps for quite a long while. At present, I have their MK2 copper preamp in my reference audio system and I am fully satisfied with their passive pre product.

Do you have any opinion reagrding the choice of cable for passive system? I undertand from MFA that the cable length is not really that matter and they are going to send me some technical explanation.

I'll have an opportunity to trial their latest "Baby Reference" pre-amp at home in due course. Will report to share with you later on.

"undertand from MFA that the cable length is not really that matter "

I recently found keeping 1.8 meters has very fluent sound .

Length is from DAC to passive .8m , passive to power amp 1m (my case)

In a certain way MFA might be telling the truth on TVC esp for the output connect where the signal is balanced. But for resistor type passive preamp the story is totally different.

Dennis, when the new toy is around, pls ring or pm as I would like to see if my spot weld cables can do wonders with TVC

Derek hing,

do you need special RCA plug for spot weld cables , or just ordinary plug can do ? I'm interested.

if the cable length does not make any difference, what kind of order of effects will a spot welding be^-^

All flimsy RCA plugs can do, but not those exotic ones like WBT. If you are interested, you can always come & find out yourself how it's done.

Not sure, but like to see if there's any audible enhancement.

Dear King,

I remain as sceptical as I'd tried different cable length on MFA MK1 with different result. I am open to hear more from MFA and Derek and wish to carry out some experienent on cable length as a matter of curiosity. Hope won't kill the cat. Have time to join us for fun?

i've played with passive for a while and really can't be bothered with it now. if i don't want an active preamp, i think it is much better to use an integrated amp than using a passive with a power amp. and i really don't like transformer. it is an necessary evil and don't find it necessary to use it as a volume control. of course as a passive, it is probably better than a resistor based solution. but with that kind of money, i rather spend on a decent power amp. and the sound stage projected with a passive is really not my cup of tea.

Derek hing,

Thanks VM , I have the diy cables and plugs with me, will bring them to your place to play play.

Last time played w/your spot weld pre-amp. Even though I'm not a fans of that tube , it's the most transparent performance I can hear from it.

Me too, I think the best place for 6922 is phono or may be CD output. The reason for using 6922 is I happen to have bunch of those laying around & they were dirt cheap. The new line amp is based on 6SN7, which I guess is likely your cup of tea.

BTW, when you are ready, just ring me.

Very nice, C-Hing!

How does it sound ?
How would you compare it with the copper and silver version ?

Do you think it worth the price ?

Pl share.

Thanks
