    I'd say so. The B139/T15 combination generally sounded a bit grim and those cabinets are nothing special. As for the Billy Fury bit, well so what?
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Rappaport PRE-1 preamplifier. Rare and desirable!

    I did see that, worth trying in my system with the Berkeleys?

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Depends on the power amp. The Rappaport is extremely revealing.

    I employed the PRE-2 happily for twenty years in my system using Tannoys, with either an Audio Concepts P300 Legend power amp or a Leak Stereo 20. The PRE-2 has no tone controls, but is otherwise like the PRE-1.

    Yes indeed, and at a bargain price.

    Also rare and also desirable is the Matisse pre:

    I have one and have had success pairing it with a Decca cartridge (Decca Mk.VI).
