Just upgraded to the DK VS-1 Signature
I am still interested to hear from someone providing a serious comparison between the v2 or v3 and the signature.Thanks,Art 
Intergrateds: Classe,Krell,Bryston.......
I think the newer b-60's use the SST amplification design. That might be a big improvement over the original one, so if you go used try to get the SST version. I've never heard either b-60 but I owned the amp that the original was based one. It ha... 
Thiel 2.3 vs 2.4 the real difference
In my own personal experience, side by side testing is sometimes not revealing of differences, unless you have first spent quite a bit of time listening to each of them on it's own. I don't know why. I assume it's because your ear somehow learns t... 
Best budget $100 - 200 Phono Pre-amp?
Would this compromise channel separation - either substantially or subtlely? (Or am I asking for too much at $160? for a phono stage? : - )Art 
Best budget $100 - 200 Phono Pre-amp?
How can one tube handle two channels? (VP-129)Art 
Thiel 2.3 vs 2.4 the real difference
My Thiel 2.3's were early model, and I know that there was one major change early in the life of that model: an upgrade to the midrange driver that was reputed to smooth out the upper midrange. I can't say for certain that I ever heard a 2.3 with ... 
DK Design VS- Reference vs Signature
I thought it was shipping as there is picture on the web site.Ok then. How about the VS-1 version III versus the version II? According to the ad in this month's Stereophile, they are now shipping version III. (either that or a lot of advertising f... 
Any problems with Springsteens DualDisc?
Amusicdirect is backordered on the Springsteen Devil's and Dust LP. They say it's selling very well. Great! 
Any problems with Springsteens DualDisc?
Yes, it plays ok on my Cary. Sounds a little muffled, not sure why. Artps: I just ordered the LP from amusicdirect. 
Audience AU24, are they good?
AU24 speaker cable is extremely good in my experience and well regarded. Very well balanced cable, in terms of sound. (Red Dawn by contrast would be leaner, perhaps faster). AU 24 Seems to be holding it's resale value. Looks great too!Art 
Review: Basis 2001 Turntable
Agreed that the Debut will outclass the 2001, at a huge jump in price. I love my black Basis 2001, hard to imagine replacing it. (that is unusual for me - I'm always replacing something in my system!)Art 
Review: Denon DP-47F Turntable
I bought a Denon direct drive table in 1980 and I don't recall the model number. It was next to the top of the line, I think. Despite it being direct drive, when I compared it to my new AR ES-1 in 1987 - which I've always LOVED - the Denon was not... 
Any problems with Springsteens DualDisc?
I bought this Dualdisc because it was the only way to get the Springsteen album. Otherwise I'd kind of be wary.Which leads to...Do you any of you know if there is a LP version? I was able to get an LP version of his last album. Alas, I forget now ... 
Any problems with Springsteens DualDisc?
Hmmmm. I like Mattkimb96's idea of burning a home-made cd copy. That is, as long as my computer can read the cd side of the dual-disk, then this could prove to be a generic (if time consuming) solution. Any other comments on this idea?Art 
What is the Meadowlark house sound?
Very, very black background...Art
