| Sophia Electric 845 - Any heard it? Brooks, aren't you in Illinois? I have a pair of the Sophia's you could borrow. | |
| VTL 5.5 or Audible Illusions L2 linestage This also depends on the sound you're looking for.The VTL is exciting and has well controlled bass. The L2 is more tubey sound. The L2 is also more on par with the VTL 2.5 | |
| A rocking tube amp & speaker combo? As an old LaScala owner I know exactly what your hearing. That sound is never going to go completely away. There are ways to help.I agree with the above coments regarding amps. But also consider this. (Maybe you've already done this)Clean internal... | |
| Aurios vs Stillpoints, any experience? With the additional use of the Stillpoints Risers, you can adjust the height of each individual Stillpoint. This will help with the possibility of a piece rolling off.Additionally the Risers also improve on the performance of the Stillpoints.And a... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-1 & VRS-1 or VR-2? As a dealer I live with and setup these up all the time.There is no comparison between the sound of a VR-1 / sub and a VR-2. The VR-2 is not a VR-1 with more bass. The VR-2 is more open, has more resolution and of course springy, articulate bass t... | |
| How to Bi-amp?? Riley804 is right on. But if you're preamp doesn't have two sets of outputs, using a cheap Y-connector will decrease transparency. You may end up driving the speakers better, but you may also add distortion.I also recommend utilizing the identical... | |

| Best footers for TEAC P-30 transport? Four level to go one this based on price/performance. With each incremental upgrade the difference is clearly perceptable. But this also depends on the resolution of the rest of your system and your room.Also, try a bag of lead shot on top of the ... | |
| Newbie question on digital source. Try the Birdland Audio Odean (DAC $998 new, $500 used) with volume control. You can go straight to and amp with it.Amazing sounding DAC and you skip the preamp all together.If you want a preamp, try the Bel Canto Pre1 with DAC1 built in. You could... | |
| Audio Note CD-2 Opinions It's hard to compare the CD-2 to the players.The Audio Note has richer texture, more pure musicality.It has less finesse when compared to a Meridian or Arcam, but if you want rich harmonics, oodlys of detail, just something that makes music, this ... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-2's I can see how some people might think the VR-2 can sound boomy. But the proper amount of lead shot reduces the cabinet resonance, and the proper amount of toe-in can smooth that boominess out.Also if they are too close together for the room, you c... | |
