| Warm Power Cord? VooDoo Black Dragons will warm things up and increase the lower registers, while expanding the SS. the former Python VX prior to Helix would be the next step up... both work quite well with HT devices. | |
| best preamps in the 4K-8K range RE CJ preampI heard the CT6 + the newest tube replacement for their 140wpc (160?) amp on some off shore plannars, this time last year.Warm rich and full is not how I would characterize the current CJ tube line. At the same time I heard the cj 14 p... | |
| How significant is a power cord upgrade? ".... I'm considering upgrading the power cord. How significant is it compared to upgrading speaker cords and interconnects? Just wondering if I'll notice the same positive effects."IMO1. yes2. maybeI feel the power end of things, as has been reco... | |
| BAT SS power amps? I'm not so sure about statements that say the 500 or BAT in general is dark sounding, or has less than an abundant sound Stage. it's surely not my experience. I know it responds very well to pc upgrades. Adding solely a good pair of pcs changed th... | |
| New Von Schweikert VR SR4 mk11 Cream or Crap ??? Douglas_schroeder thanks. You are both forthcoming and perceptive.I asked those questions primarily because I felt ambiguous or grandiose statements about company revenues can be and are misleading. if taken superficially, without some measure of ... | |
| New Von Schweikert VR SR4 mk11 Cream or Crap ??? Douglas_schroeder Thanks so very much.Any ball park time frame for it?If you could think to obtain some clarity as to the income sources, ie., patents, sales, consultant fees, etc. THAT would be very enlightening. Contrasting those given figures t... | |
| New Von Schweikert VR SR4 mk11 Cream or Crap ??? Gammajo yes ...but there's been far more clarity. | |
| New Von Schweikert VR SR4 mk11 Cream or Crap ??? Hi Douglas_schroeder Thanks for the insights. Understandably then, it would naturally follow to ask, "Who is in charge of the public relationns and customer service, and what are their plans to improve it?" Wouldn't it be appropriate to assume, if... | |
| High eff speakers? Sonata III, Super III, OR ??? Muscle, huh? Just when you think you're out of the muscle game, they pull ya back in. For right now, muscle I got. the deal here is to strip away all those unsightly watts clouding up everything and robbing the purity of the first few... or one. T... | |
| High eff speakers? Sonata III, Super III, OR ??? I got that impression from just reading... the Definitition however is beyond me. Given also what I just read in your past thread from a Super Eclipse III owner I'm glad my proposal for trade was denied by one, and my thoughts to the other got qua... | |
| BAT SS power amps? you're on the right path. That was me all over, after the Krell experience. the ML sounded like a blanket was on the speakers... Just heard (if you can call it that, it was so brief it was like the dealers electric bill was past due), the 400wpc A... | |
| High eff speakers? Sonata III, Super III, OR ??? Tvad I noticed you mentioned in another posting that you had heard the Zu units several times, and did not care for them.... what put you off?I'm fast coming to the opinion either I need just do some limited range spks + sub (s)... OR go with 92+d... | |
| New Von Schweikert VR SR4 mk11 Cream or Crap ??? ...or perhaps an "easy out" tap bit might remove the grommet and another, a wee bit larger can then be inserted as a replacement. I've used the "easy-out" to remove busted bolts and screws where you couldn't lock onto them with anything like plier... | |
| High eff speakers? Sonata III, Super III, OR ??? tvad... the 4 ohm bit and old press bothers me. Oh, and the six grand part sort of puts me off too. | |
| BAT SS power amps? I can't give direct comparisons to many of those you listed as prospects. I will say this... the VK200 & SURELY THE VK500 W/bp, WHICH i PRESENTLY OWN, IS AS SOLID AN AMP AS i HAVE FOUND. aS NEUTRAL TOO.Every time I have made a switch in preamp... |
