| Vandersteen 5A or Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage Zd542 I hope you really did not miss my point. See Rcprince's comment. I was posting a funny I think (hope). | |
| Has price of used 802N's shot up? Me Likey! | |
| ARC Ref phono stage. Yeah the FET in the initial stage can help to make the preamp quiet. But using a better quality power supply can make a pure tube preamp sounds quiet. It's just that tube is tube, and transistor is transistor. Pure tube always sounds better, perio... | |
| Vandersteen 5A or Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage You first impressions are probably correct, they usually are. Don't go through all the trouble of adjustments, etc., just to be more disappointed. You will kick yourself going through all this and you will still not be happy. You know, toe in, toe... | |
| ARC Ref phono stage. I can design a tube head amp based on Counterpoint SA-2. I would make a better power supply using tubes and chokes in a separate chassis. The main circuit should be similar to SA-2 with improvement in bias circuit, with point to point direct wirin... | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Charles1dad, I doubt that the CF will do what the CSL does. It is not a direct heated triode preamp design. That is the beginning where the magic happens. The second part is removing the capacitors in the signal path. That is IMO where a capacitor... | |

| Use Your Own Ears I have discussed this thought for many years after hearing a friend of mine who is not an audiophile at all system. He basically purchased most of his components forma garage sale total cost was $27.00 Something like Cambridge sound CDP for $5.00,... | |
| Price Increases BIF I agree. The dealer I know very well offered to set up speakers that I purchased used. I cannot take up their time unless I am going to pay for the service otherwise I would feel obligated. | |
| To Vandersteen or not to Vandersteen Shakey,Vandersteen has never been my cuppa either. I like something with more jump factor and the feeling of live musicians in the room. Their top of the line might do it (although the original Model 5 didn't overly impress when it first came out)... | |
| So sub or not to sub In general the sub helps out the mid-range versus the bass. Get a cheap sub and place it in your system. Barely turn up the volume and hear how the mid-range changes. Probably clearer, less stress sounding than without it. Then you have to find a ... | |
