| The Hub: News, events, gossip - Sound by Singer to close Probably couldn't pull it off for lack of horse and buggy parking. Can you get a horse and buggy through the Holland tunnel these days?I imagine audio sales in a large city to be trying on the patience. All those tire kickers and lowballers coming... | |
| Sound of Zu Soul Superfly vs Zu Druid Speakers I would go with the one that makes you less paranoid. Probably the Soul but I have not heard it. Lots of great info, no need to look further.Actually just kidding. I lost more money on a Zu purchase than any other audio deal, including plus 10k st... | |
| Summertime ss amp Question Wow those look hot. Do you get any ball rash mid summer?Why not look at Luxman 800 or Esoteric A-03. These will at least compare to what you have even though they are above your range. | |
| 2k$ speakers that meet my criteria? I would say Verity but you will have to up the budget some. Sacrifice a bit and look at Devore. | |
| Rockport Aquila vs Altair I've heard the Aquila a few times at Goodwin's in Boston. It was a while ago but I remember the huge deep soundstage and ability for this speaker to bring the venue to the room.Many speakers bring some of the venue to you but I felt like I was at ... | |
| Why do old tubes sound better than current tubes? Bpoletti, bong or vaporizer vacuum? Well done! | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Albert, the Mayan calendar ends in 2012 so be careful about accepting too many deposits now. My advice would be to go under the table and look at the pyramids. | |
| 6922 tube recommendations If your not in a hurry Andy and VTS has some great tubes available. For better pricing he has a good "lightly used" supply too. | |
| Trade- off, power SS vs tube magic. One needs a good dealer after reading this. | |
| Question for ARC aficionados I did own a Vsi55 at one time and was very impressed. It had a spooky holographic quality to it. I thought it had great bass but lacked slightly in soundstage and a tad in the midrange weight compared to the VAC Avatar I went to. Maybe this was sp... | |
| Question for ARC aficionados The spec's on the vsi55 and vsi60 seem identical. Did that much change in the two amps or is this the usual (and probably justified) need to make a few changes and increase to cover the costs of business. For instance the optional tube cage was $2... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly David_ten, It's interesting that you find they have more soul with pentode mode over triode. I had a VAC amp that switched between, and my preference was always triode with the Essence, Devore super 8, 9 and the various Verity speakers I tried it ... | |
| What's the cost of an entry level vinyl setup? Daverz, I just picked up four complete Reader's Digest box sets from the swap shop at the dump. That's hundreds of hours of music right there. One set has ten albums dedicated to "Mood Music for Dining." Best thing is that that are so bad I don't ... | |
| Best high-efficiency speaker under 10K Zu Essence blows goat. Cheap Ribbon, poor integration. Devore is great but a little warm and not as transparent for my taste. BUT I have a good friend that builds $15k plus guitars and he loves Devore speakers.As Tvad said, you need to listen for ... | |
