| Musical Fidelity Experts needed.. I compared the Nu-Vista integrated to the Rowland M-112 power amp and MF preamp and the Rowland blew the MF away. The MF while being very musical does not have the details that the Rowland had (which I prefer) and the Rowland sounded a lot faster.... | |
| DC Leakage and dealer issues Sean & Zaikesman,Thanks for your replies. I can always count on both of you to give honest opinions even if someone does not agree with them. I emailed the same thing to the designer about why I should pay the repair and how come the second am... | |
| Review: Audio Research LS-25 mkII Tube preamp Thanks Zaikesman for your comments and I wanted to let everyone know that it was at a dealer in their set up system, but none the less, my BAT got beat in dynamics. We also used the Musical Fidelity NuVista CD player and got the same exact results... | |
| Speakers 2K- 3K range used or new Thanks so far for all the posts. To answer some questions, I have known my friend Bill for 40 years, we are very close. When he heard my system which is still on the move daily, he asked me for some assistance. So I posted to get some ideas. Bill ... | |
| Anyone heard the Pass x.2.5? Contact Perrotta consulting in NY and he is jsut getting the 2.5 in. He let me audition the Pass X-250 am for aroung 4 weeks which I eventually bought.Peter | |
| Audio Research LS-16 vs. BAT VK-30 I compared the BAT VK-30SE to the ARC LS-25 MKII in a system that consisted of the ARC CD-3, Plinius 102 (newest version) and B&W 802N speakers with Kimber Cable and the ARC outperfromed my BAT in sound stage, bass definition and more dynamic.... | |
| Upgrading VTL 2.5 pre-amp to: CAT, BAT, or ARC? I just compared my BAT VK-30SE to the ARC LS-25 MKII a few days ago and the ARC bettered my BAT in sound stage, slightly better bass definition and better dynamics. The BAT seemed to compress or limit the dynamics versus the 25. Don't get me wrong... | |
| ARC REF1 VS REF 2 MKII I compared the two ARC preamps 11-20-02 and the ref pre bettered the LS-25 MKII in sound stage and dynamics slightly, but the over all presentation was smoother and a little more tube like where the 25 is very natural but non forgiving. I preferre... | |
| Looking for the right interconnect Try the Shunyata ICs lsit for $650, probably get them for 30% off. I hear they are now the best cable for the price. | |
| To biwire or not to biwire...? The Audience manufacturer has a very good article on why not to bi-wire. And Robert at Acoustic Zen does not bi-wire his own system which includes the B&W 801 speakers. | |
| What is the sweetest sounding tube amp. Quick Silver amps. | |
| Best hi-fi salon 'round Galen Carol Audio in Texas. | |
| What speakers with Aloia power amps? I know a guy who was using the Talon Khorus X speakers with great results. | |
| Class A and B differences? I am not saying that the Pass does not sound good and maybe I should not expect more than a 10-15% improvement. I just WANTED to be so blown away that I had no other option but to buck up the $$$. I am hearing a very refined amp with the Pass, ver... | |
| Class A and B differences? Thanks for the responses but in general I was referring to amp ratings by reviewer ratings and not the class A or A/B. My question still remians, if my Kinergetics amp was rated by Stereophile 10 years ago as a B rated component and the Pass X-250... |
