| Any jumper suggestions for a VSA VR-4? I'll second Driver's comments: jumpers need to be long, in the 1m range. Also, I have Vibrapods as spacers between modules: 2 #5 and 2 #3 seem to work pretty well.Driver: what are you using for spikes? Need to get some. | |
| Any jumper suggestions for a VSA VR-4? I've owned the VR4 III HSE for 5 mos. or so. They worked extremely well with Acoustic Zen's Satori speaker cables in a shotgun biwire configuration (great cables btw!). That means there are two individual runs of cable, both terminated with a sing... | |
| Tubed CD Player Look into getting a BAT VK-D5 player, get yourself some Amperex NOS tubes (preferably Bugle Boys or 7308s) and enjoy the music! Wonderful! | |
| Spectron Musician II vs. "Big" Tube Amps OK, I'm going to give the Musician II a try. You guys talked me into it! | |
| AZ Satori vs. Audience AU24 Disc...curious, which tube monoblocks were you running? | |
| AZ Satori vs. Audience AU24 I know we're kind of digressing from the topic here....but hey, I started this thread, so who cares!Bigshutter...would you really trade in your nice triode-based tube amp and move to a digital amp??? I haven't heard the Spectron, and I know that A... | |
| AZ Satori vs. Audience AU24 Stehno, I love my Vr4 III SEs! I think they're great. However, I'm not going to tell you that they sound like $20k speakers, because 1) I don't know what $20k speakers sound like and 2) from what I've heard, not all the megabuck speakers sound tha... | |
| AZ Satori vs. Audience AU24 Thanks for all your responses....great information! It looks like I'll try the AU24 cables against the Satori. I'll have to stick to a single run plus a 1m jumper to use with the VR-4s vs the shotgun config of the Satori.Bigshutterbug - Which tube... | |
| Recommendations for tube amp to replace Plinius In my opinion, you are not going to be able to move three 12" (or are they 14", I don't remember) woofers very well with a low powered tube amp. You won't get a whole lot of bass out of them, as they require tons of current. I lived with the Focus... | |
| Where do you draw the line??? Where do I draw the line?? At buying brand spanking new equipment. Why should I, when there is such an abundance of awesome used stuff here at Audiogon!! So much gear, so little time and $$. | |
| Do tube dampers really work? Hee....What was the reading with the same tubes prior to fitting them with the Halo dampers? That would make this a meaningful comparison.. | |
| Any recommandation for the Von Schweikert VR-4 SE I've been running a pair of Acoustic Zen Satori Shotgun to my VR-4 SEs to great effect. Very natural sounding, with no part of the audio band sounding exaggerated or under-emphasized. Be prepared for the 2 sets of stiff garden hoses running to eac... | |
| Best Integrated amp for under 4k I've been running an Electrocompaniet ECI-4 Signature Edition. Very nice integrated amp, especially if your after a more tubey, warmer, smooth, sound. Excellent imaging, along with good bass slam, this one does it for me. | |
| Help with Hi Power Tube Amp Selection The same should hold true for the Manley Labs amps, which bias their tubes at somewhere around the .25 volts range. | |
| Help me select a CD player to round out my system. I'll second Newbees recommendation. Strictly a redbook player. I've been running (for the last 3 months or so) a 5 year old VK-D5 with NOS Amperex Bugle Boy 6DJ8 tubes and I am very happy with the musicality, midrange, and bass. No harshness whats... |
