| 6922 Recommendation for my BAT VK-3iX Preamp I would try Amperec tubes, but I'm not sure how much of an improvement in this area you will gain with a different set of tubes. But I think you will get what you want with a different preamp. Swapping tubes may be cool, but I kind of doubt it wil... | |
| 6922 Recommendation for my BAT VK-3iX Preamp in what way do you want to improve the sound, violin in particular? What's missing right now? How does it sound when you play violin music? Be more detailed. | |
| Chopin Fantasie Impromptu, Opus 66 I'm not a big Chopin fan. But I was really impressed with Kissin's playing. I just had to have that disc. I'm glad you sort of like it too. As far as a combination of good recording quality and good piano playing, this is a very good example.I als... | |
| Chopin Fantasie Impromptu, Opus 66 Newbee, are you a pianist? I have listened to Kissin's CD few times by now. I haven't listened to it too critically yet to judge the performance. It was very enjoyable from the first listen, so it is difficult for me to say. I also have Ashkenazy ... | |
| Why Mac Mini Over Slim Systems Products? I recently had an opportunity to hear Mac Mini for the first time. It was connected to Bel Canto DAC3 via USB cable(brand escapes me...but I think it may have been Ridge). I was amazed. i actually preffered it over a Denon DVD player driving the D... | |
| Tube vs SS Amp with a All Tube Preamp Pubul57, you made your point. Agreed, as far as general idea....but still we are really not even scratching a surface.I still think that without mentioning a specific product, we are simply applying buzzwords to stereotypes.Sorry. I guess I am bit... | |
| Tube vs SS Amp with a All Tube Preamp what are you looking for? more resolution, more detail, bigger soundstage, more imaging precision, etc.Without any specific amplifiers being mentioned or brought up for comparison, I really find this impossible to answer.How can this be generalize... | |
| Pass, Mac, or Anthem Vayjay, keep in mind that MC501 is a considerably better amp than MC402. | |
| Pass, Mac, or Anthem I have used X250.5 with my B&W Nautilus 803. I have never ever heard any hint of grain or electronic qualities in the sound of the Pass amp. I have used it with different preamps, different speaker cables and interconnects. This amplifier has ... | |
| Best remote with preamp best remote I ever used was on Hafler Iris preamplifier. It actually had a turn knob for volume control and another for balance control. Same exact knobs as on preamp faceplate. it looked like a brick, felt like a brick but worked like magic. I st... | |

| Usher CP-8571 II - Long term opinions? Semi is right. You have speakers with very different sonic signatures. If you are looking at speakers with warm presentation, Usher will not do. Harbeth, SF will be probably a better shot. | |
| Usher CP-8571 II - Long term opinions? Kenreau, if you crave for some resolving and detailed speakers, check out Dali Euphonia line. These have absolutely crazy resolution. Off the scale! They do need careful matching of components AND cables. Or else they can drive you out of the room... | |
| Usher CP-8571 II - Long term opinions? On my short list Dynaudio S5.4, Aerial Model 9. But Kenreau, I encourage you to listen to the Ushers for yourself. Please do not take my or anyone else's opinion to heart. You need to audition the speakers. May be this will be the sound you are lo... |
