| DK Design VS-1 versus 300b sound Who has replaced tube separates with the DK design? I'd sure be interested to hear their experiences. I seem to have missed this as well.Thanks,Art | |
| DK Design VS-1 versus 300b sound Sounds like it could be a fair question if asked in a more general sense: whether solid state at its best can provide a "best of both worlds" or whether we'll still have to use highly efficient speakers and low powered tube amps to get that "SET m... | |
| Do Any High End Speakers Boogie/Rock? BW 804 Blues Get more power. And a sub. (VS as a replacement might work too, I don't know.)Art | |
| Is there a audiophile bible? Harley has a good pverview book on the topic, but I don't know to what extent it addresses specifically what you have missed over the past 15 year.Art | |

| Spendor SP 1/5 Monitors Well, other than that what real evidence do you have ; - )Biwiring is relatively recent offering in Spendor's world. That's one clue. | |
| Spendor SP 1/5 Monitors Where do you get the idea that Spendor makes or ever made a model called 1/5? I don't recall this, and looking at the history page at www.spendoraudio.com, I don't see it. There was a British company, one of the firms that made a version of the LS... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? One December several years ago, I found myself with four or five of every type of component: amp, speakers, cables, preamp. Ok, just two turntables. No room for ME in my house! So I made a rule: I am not allowed to own more than two of two compone... | |
| 'great' bookshelf speakers for under 500? There is a fellow selling Silverline SR-11's used on Audiogon. Asking $675, retail new is $1500. Buy these and you will never look back - although at some point you'll probably add a REL sub, as you would for any high quality minimonitor.Art | |
| Speaker cable length for L/R channels critical? Hmmm. It seems then that the substantial issue is matching the potential colorations and/or volume impacts between the cables. That is, one shorter cable could potentially offer less of the cable's sonic imprint on that channel.Art | |
| Cary SLI-80 vs Cary 300SEI Hi Nick, thanks for the information, this is most helpful. I will be on the lookout now for a nice SEI.... Your "main system" sounds awesome in more respects - TALONS are AMAZING in my humble (ha!) opinion, Wadia, MIT.... Krell used to have the re... | |
| UPS strikes again Thanks Tvad, this sounds like a great approach. As you would surmise, the manager of the store did not suggest this option!Art | |
| UPS strikes again Yesterday I tried to ship a package at a UPS store. The web quote for shipping was $21. The 800 number quote was around $22. But the price at UPS store in Los Altos, Califonria, was $47. Turns out that UPS store charges $2.50 per $100 of insurance... | |
| Good inexpensive cables Oh, oh. I love cables made by ... the G-word. Used to rely on Silver sapphire heavily. Are they controversial?Art | |
| Cary SLI-80 vs Cary 300SEI Yes, I recently added the REL sub, and it's a jaw dropping combination : - ) I thought the 300 SEI LX20 was an amp, not an integrated, no? Anyway, great to hear that this change was worthwhile. As to maximizing sound of SLI-80, I have been playing... |
