| Sorry, yet another Hi Brian, the JC-1s are a little over a year old, bought them preowned (but mint) from a fellow A-gonner for a decent price and no shipping. I realize there's no warranty for subsequent owners. I wouldn't have bought 'em new from another dealer kn... | |
| Sorry, yet another As I am, AROC! | |
| Sorry, yet another BTW, my speakers are not biwired at the moment. Through the process of elimination, I have the speaker cables connected to the low module, and an AU24 1m jumper going to the top. I guess I can see what bi-wiring will do.TVAD, I'm ok with the width... | |
| Sorry, yet another I've got the top module seperated via Vibrapods from the bottom bass module (2 #5s and 2 #3s). The speakers sit on decent aftermarket solid brass spikes, on 1 1/2" granite slabs.The JC-1s have 135 amps of peak current, so they should be able to co... | |
| Tube Amp suggestions for VSA VR4-SE's? Louis, I have the latest version of the Hurricanes, which have the triode switch, stiffened chassis, the green PIO caps, and the enhanced bias system, where there are 4 bias pots on either side of the chassis. I rolled in EH KT88s and have been pl... | |
| Tube Amp suggestions for VSA VR4-SE's? You fail to mention your front end that's driving your amps, e.g. the preamp and CD player. Those components will also affect the "involvement" factor that you are so hungry for as much as the amps will.I run the ASL Hurricanes in my system now, w... | |
| Best tube amp or mono blocks within 5 k new/used. Speaking of KT-88s, the ASL Hurricanes are wonderful, especially for the $$. There's a few of them listed here, btw. Buy a bunch of LPs or CDs with the $$ you save. | |

| Dish Network BLOCKS OUT Viacom channels??? All the channels are back as of this morning. That was quick! | |
| Dish Network BLOCKS OUT Viacom channels??? Yeah, we'll get a $1 credit (I don't have the locals), but somewhere I heard that Viacom was getting $4 or $5 per subscriber for the channels from Dish. Where's the rest of the $3 or $4?? | |
| VTL 5.5 or Audible Illusions L2 linestage I haven't heard the VTL 5.5, but I love my AI L2.I think that either of these preamps can be very remarkable, but you need to carefully choose the right tubes that will compliment your system and sound right to your ears. In VTL's case it's 6 tube... | |
| A review of the Audible Illusions L-2 As usual Bigtee, a pleasure reading your review! I should be getting my L2 back any time now from the factory after updating to current production models. | |
| Sony SCD-1 or BAT VK-D5 / D5SE Since you already have BAT products, your system synergy will benefit greatly by incorporating a BAT CD player and using balanced interconnects between all the pieces. I prefer the non-SE version, the D5, with Amperex 7308 tubes. Superb redbook pe... | |
| Another 6550 vs. KT88, 90, et. al.? I got my Hurricanes last summer/fall. My original Valve Art KT88s had maybe 200 to 300 hours on them, so much more time is left on them. A couple of the VA blew, and I replaced them with the Electro Harmonix, and before you know it, both amps beca... |
