| Tubes on Proac 1.5's I don't know a lot about the different tubes and it's really great to hear these many opinions. I'm leaning towards a VTL MB125 mono setup. While some of you mentioned KT88's I need to know if this is just a tube swap for EL34's (sorry REALLY gree... | |
| Tubes on Proac 1.5's The bass is really quite acceptable with the sfs 40. Now I don't know which way to turn. | |
| Tubes on Proac 1.5's I just borrowed an older Sonic Frontiers 40watt tube amp and my wife and I are stunned by how much "percieved" power this amp has. The Classe' is more refined with more bass slam but the tube sang along really nicely.I must learn more......Thanx f... | |
| VPI Scout...ET2 tonearm or JMW9 Thanx for all the responses. Your right!!! I think I'm going to pull my for sale add and simply upgrade the table with the new Aries platter and inverted bearing and maybe later the SAMA motor.Alun | |
| VPI Scout...ET2 tonearm or JMW9 I just checked the VPI website and found that the HW19MKIV uses the same platter as the aries now with the inverted bearing. I'm also thinking that the ET will not fit on the Scout but I'm not so sure about keeping it as it's a bit finicky and I c... | |
| Preamp suggestions, upgrading from Classe 5 Thanx for your input but I didn't think that the LS-3 was remote controled. Also I should have mentioned but didn't that I was leaning towards tubes. | |
| Using a two channel pre-amp with a HT processor. Hi Mark, I use a Sonic Frontiers line one which has a surround sound pass through, it works excellent!!! This allows me to use a reasonably priced reciever with pre outs for the from channels. The Sonic is a superb preamp and can be found fairly c... | |
| Pre-amp or Pre-pro,, which one to get ? I would like to know, Tom, your Line-1 had a ss thruput. was it not a very good pre-amp compared to the Meridian that you replaced it with? It seems that you changed your system to find out that you should have stayed with the original setup of li... | |
| Classe vs. Sonic Frontiers O.K thanks again everyone. The response seems unanimous. The line 1 is a steal!!! Now, how do I know that it will drive my Classe amp? I am unfamillier w/tubes and I heard that one must match pre-power carefully. Any ideas? | |
| Classe vs. Sonic Frontiers Thank you for all of your responses. Regarding the ARC equipment, I have priced their stuff out and they are way too expensive. Sonic Frontiers stuff seems reasonable on the net, and actually I recently saw an add for VTL 2.5 linestage. If anybody... | |
| Classe vs. Sonic Frontiers Good for you Ernand, but I'm not really interested in Panasonic!!! Thanx for your input. | |
| Who is Most Beautiful female singer ever Saw Sheena Easton in concert once, stunning. She was singing some jazz standards and did a fine job as well. | |
| Sonic Frontiers, what is going on?? I think it must be very difficult for companies to continue building product when so much of us deal strictly in the used market (us includes me). Although I occasionally will purchase new, prices of high end products keep the "middle class"folk o... | |
| Pre-amp or Pre-pro,, which one to get ? I have built a switching box to allow for dual pre-amps. Switch one way for stereo and the other for video. I agree with others that it is a pain in the neck trying to decide on the Pre/Pro route. If I were to look at new Pre's I'd probably have a... | |
| Tube Amplifiers? I am also having quite a time with the amp game. What would one use to power Proac Response 1sc's. Pair of VTL MB125's with a 2.5 preamp or Pair of Classe 10's with a Classe 5 preamp. I've never had tubes before and there is no local VTL dealer, I... |
