Well, I plan to continue using this preamp but will completely bypass the processor for 2 ch music by having the analog outs from my DVD player to go directly into the tube preamp (CD in) and have the digital output going to the receiver. Then I'll have the receiver preouts going into the aux...

Could be. I dont know if that would cause the hum to increase as I get near the 12AX7 tube (sorry I left out that little detail). When my finger is 1 cm away from the 12AX7 tube the hum increases and if I touch the tube it makes a slight 'ching' sound. Although I have listened to many tube...

Scott, I did like you suggested and put the preamp between the processor and the amp. Guess what? The sound improved even more. The soundstage got more dimensional and real. The instruments developed more 'air' and 'life' around them. So the Denon even thought in a straight pass thru mode...

OK guys problem solved. The ASL schematics that came in the manual are wrong. They suggest placing the 12AX7 tube where there should be a 12AU7. The tube positions were swapped. I looked at the circuit diagram and also opened up the chassis and underneath the circuit board was clearly marked...

I actually had been thinking about the Rogue 66 or 99 (or CJ PV14) as my next upgrade. Actually it would be a completely separate 2 ch cd/sacd music setup with Vienna Acoustic Beethovens (I luv VA speakers and dont want to change to another brand). I would then move my Proceed amp to this setup...

I dont have an email for ASL but I did shoot off an email to Divertech (their NA distributor) and still havent heard a thing from them. You might be right I might be overdriving the amp.

I have the DVD players analog outs going to the 2004DT's inputs and its output going directly to the external inputs of my 3802. The 3802's preouts are going to the Proceed amp. Whenever I listen to music I put my 3802 in ext-in mode. That way it just acts as a straight gain without any DSP. I...

Well finally I was able to integrate a cheap tube pre (2ch) with my SS HT gear. The tube pre was an ASL2004DT integrated with a Denon 3802 hooked to a Proceed AMP 2 for the mains and a B&K Ref7250 for the rest. The speakers are all Vienna acoustics. Out of the box the tube pre sounded fantastic...
