| Tung-Sol 6550 - Current Issue I bought a quad that have been going strong for around 200 hours. I bought them in March from a reputable dealer. He told me he burns them in and tests them carefully. He said he returns all that are below par, and actually got a call from the rep... | |
| I walked into a dealer and got a shock.... I went from a MA6500 to an Ayre AX7e to the VSi-55 and am happy with my choice. I like the depth of soundstage of the Vsi-55 compared to any SS integrated I've owned. It has less power and is more neutral but it gets the depth and texture of instr... | |
| Is upgrading stock tubes standard proceedure? I have a simple ARC vs-i55 and changed out the stock tubes. 20 percent improvement! Others may say 20 percent loss. Who know but give it a try. | |
| Upgrade Verity Parsifal Ovation Call Verity. I called with a question a few months ago and the owner/designer answered the phone. He was very knowledgeable. | |
| digital Amp. Going green Batteries are a simple technology. It would never be an issue. It might not have the company stamp, but you would always have music.Good luck. Keep posting the changes. | |
| Synergistic Integrated and CDP under 5k I've had the T+A and Ayre AX-7e in my system. The T+A is a clear winner with better mids, clarity, more open soundstage and better dynamics. I found the Ayre slightly lean with a couple pairs of speakers. It's a fantastic SS amp, best I've owned, ... | |

| Used Rogue Audio Cronos - any warnings? If the condition is a problem hold off for another Cronus. They come up weekly. BUT, it sounds like you already know the Rotel won't cut it. Good luck. | |
| how do you deal with heavy power cords? Just have your butler hold 'em. | |
| Intergrated amp for Totem Sttaf I read through the thread but didn't see a budget. Are you looking to spend $500 or $5,000? I would look at amplification more than source. | |
| Devore Super 8 speakers with WHAT cable? Take a close look at Synergistic cables. The plug in thing bothers me and quantum tunneling sounds illegal, but I've stopped thinking about cables with SR. Organic, timbre, energy, is what I would say. | |
| Devore Super 8 speakers with WHAT cable? Are you trying to change some characteristic from what you are hearing now? | |
| Conrad Johnson CA200 vs. Mcintosh MA6900 I seriously considered both units and after listening ended up with the ARC VSi-55. It all comes down to synergy I guess. To each his own.Good luck. | |
| Do any speakers image/sound-stage close to walls? Why don't you get out to listen to some speakers while taking some classes on becoming less afraid of your wife? | |
| SS Amp for natural vocals Try a Luxman. |
