| ARC VT100MkII Interesting. So it is better than the VT100MkII? | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They? Yagbol2, I didn't think it would come across like that. If it was offensive to you, for that I appologize. My ICs and speaker cables are all Acoustic Zen and Robert Lee is one of the best cable designers today and I have not heard better cables th... | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They? Yagbol2, you may have just opened a whole new can of warms with a comment like that..... | |
| ARC VT100MkII Woodburger, thanks for your comments. What are Nuforce 9s? Digital? | |
| ARC VT100MkII Steve, well that's my biggest concern. The power of VT100MkII may not be enough for the B&Ws. Although I had a 100w/ch SS amp(McCormack DNA-0.5 Deluxe) it sounded quiet good, but the bass was always a bit boxy sounding. The woofers on the Naut... | |
| ARC VT100MkII Bob, don't beat yourself up. Thanks for a suggestion, but if I try a tube amp it has to be a balanced design. I'm not a big fan of BAT equipment. But thanks again.Wberdan, thanks for your comments. BTW, did you run the VT100MkII balanced or single... | |
| ARC VT100MkII Thanks Steve. I have a nice SS amp. I just want to try a tube amp and see how I like it vs SS.I would assume that the Matrix 802 are a more difficult load for an amp than my N803. But even the N803 are not easy to drive. Thanks Bob for that link. ... | |
| Which Patricia Barber album floats yer boat? Henryhk, very good. I'm glad you like it. And I am also glad that our opinions differ. Otherwise it would be too boring if everyone agreed. :)I am not saying it is a terrible recording. It is possibly better than most 2006 records you can buy. I j... | |
| Which Patricia Barber album floats yer boat? I think Mythologies is her weakest album. But that's just my opinion. I don't think the band is at full potential on this recording and the music is a bit more commercial than her other records. Lyrics are first rate though....typical PB.I have al... | |

| bel canto dac2 hum? I owned DAC2 and it was dead quiet. No hum, no nothing. It could have benefited from darker background though, but you could only notice it by comparing to much more expensive dacs, costing 2-3 times as much. Other than that, I think it's a great ... | |
| Tube Characterization: 6dj8, 6922, 7308, E188CC In my ARC preamp I tried stock ARC supplied Sovtek tubes, then Upscale Audio EH6922 Platinum Grade and currently have Amperex made for Mullard in Holland(late 1960s). Sovtek are a bit sterile sounding, a bit harsh on top. But overall this was not ... | |
| HELP...Bubble Wrap Marks in PIANO BLACK Speakers?? if you don't want to return the speakers, your only other choice is to re-finish them. Because I doubt the stains will go away. You can actually contact places that fix and re-finish pianos and ask them what they think. There could have been some ... | |
| Which is the best speaker to buy ? Your amp should drive Wilson Sophia or B&W 803D no problems. B&W Nautilus is the previous model. D series is new and better.I don't think your amp will drive B&W N802 or 802D the way they supposed to be driven. So B&W 803D would be... | |
| What to look for in purchasing CD-R's for recordin for non-audiophiles, playing this cd in their car system or on the boombox? should have 0 effect what speed they were recorded on. But to be safe burn it on the lower speed...may provide better error correction during recording. |
