| Any Bat VK-31SE owners out there...? When I directly compared my BAT VK-30SE to an ARC LS-25 MKII, the ARC bettered my BAT in soundstage and dynamics making the BAT sound restricted or constrained. I purchased the Pass X-1 to go with my Pass X-250. I would like to know if the 31 SE a... | |
| Bryston 7B SST vs. Parasound Halo JC 1 shootout... I think Marty at Bound for Sound will be issuing a review also. I believe that he had the Pass X-250 and an Edge amp at the time for comparison. When I spoke with him, he told me that the Pass was holding its own and each amp offered a different s... | |
| Are CD clubs a good deal? Never did a comparision but a number of years ago, they send out a customer service survey and I told them that I bought enough CDs each year and that I hated getting the reply card. When I forgot to reply, I would call them up and get a free ship... | |
| Any Bat VK-31SE owners out there...? I own the BAT VK-30SE and was also hoping someone had one or heard one. I hear that there is an improvement but for a $1000 upgrade, I dunno. Maybe better cables and tweaks for my money. | |
| ARC LS25 MkII vs. ARC Ref MkII?? I also compared the two preamps. The Ref. preamp adds about 10-15% improvement in sound, a little more natural, better bass definition, better detail and sound stage and a little warmer sounding overall. If you could get a great deal on one, the a... | |
| High priced power cords and power conditioners???? IF I purchase better AC cords first, then won't the characteristics of the power cord (sonics) change when I look for a power conditioner? Is there a synergy that I need to be aware of? Since I have not used one yet, I do not know. The other obviu... | |
| High priced power cords and power conditioners???? Thanks for your replies. I had dedicated lines (3) installed two weeks ago so the logical next step was to continue to better the AC. | |
| Looking for Alternative Preamp to Blue Circle BC3 The First Sound Presence Delux was a better sounding preamp than the Herron so do not go there. The CJs make good preamps and are very natural and warmer sounding. The ARC LS-25 MKII bettered my BAT VK-30SE in dynamics. | |
| Best speaker cables to use with Plinius 8200... Try this DIY speaker cable, very easy and then compare to the Holograms. I will be doing this comparision this week. I just compared the Audeince and Shunyata speaker cables to my DIY that I got from Marty at Bound for Sound. Buy 6 awg mutli stran... | |
| speaker choice help below $800 Do yourself a big favor and do what I did. Go to Home Depot or Lowes. Buy 6 awg multi strand wire (I bought the pink and white jackets). Run them in opposite directions for negative and positive. Twist them together loosely. Install in your system... | |
| Review: Virtual Dynamics Nite Power Cord What cords are you compring these cords to. I found many atermarket cords that can do the same in my system, but I am searching for the best one at the best price. | |
| Review: Audience & Shunyata AU24 Speaker cable Simple, I got these from Marty at Bound for Sound. Purchased 6 awg multi strand wire from Home Depot (or you can get a Lowes). Run them in opposite directions, negative and positive. Twist together loosely and get some gold spades from Radio Shack... | |
| Belles 350A or Spectron Musician II I have only heard the Belles 150 and I had the Spectron in my home system about two months ago. I preferred my Kinergetics KBA-75 to the spectron beacuse it sounded more musical. The specton was very very clear but did not really sound like 500 wp... | |
| Foolish I can keep up with Danny for a while but I just do not have the imagination to come up with the solos or cording he does. I can do the single note solos like the Allman Brothers and Stevie Ray stuff note for note but loose it on the Gatton style m... | |
| Foolish I own thirty guitars ranging from 60s LP, Strat, Tele, Gibson 335, 175 and LP Specials. I also own a number of reissues and custom shop stuff. The oldies are great but I cannot take them out to play so the relics are great, and if you play around ... |
