| Audio Racks, Just How beneficial? looking for guidance in upgrading Thank you all. Some very helpful info! I'll reach out to Core, but I need 6 shelves with the turntable top. Interesting points on also using footers, cones under the components as well as sitting on a better rack. The location of my front end is a... | |
| anyone use KT120's or KT110's tubes in MAC 275 ? thanks XTil6, my mistake on the kt110 was thinking of the ARC ref110 amp. | |
| Do Tube Amps go better with QUAD 2805's Speakers?? Sunnyboy1956,Thanks for your comments. I haven't experienced any protection kicking in from my VTL 225 watt monoblocks at any volume I gave the Quad's. I have a fairly good sized room, 24x16x9, with an opened 'cutout' in the backwall; this leads t... | |
| Do Tube Amps go better with QUAD 2805's Speakers?? Thanks again. I'll demo a better preamp as well. I thought the VTL 5.5 was well regarded as a good performer - for ~aprox. $4500. We'll soon see... | |
| Do Tube Amps go better with QUAD 2805's Speakers?? Thanks for your help. I'm thinking of a cleaner, smaller Class A tube amps. My dealer suggested the QUAD amps might just do the trick and they are modest in cost vs. new VTL gear-(which are beyind my price point). Besides, Luke has moved on to Man... | |
| Problem with Ayre C-7xe CD player? Thanks, Stringreen. Not going to spend $100 to "rent" a CD Dampener. | |
| From LP12 to where...? Also agree on the wall shelf. Target makes a good inexpensive model. I put about 6 lolly supports under my hardwood floors and Still had foot fault issues until I put the Linn on the wall. Does one need this for a VPI? | |
| Problem with Ayre C-7xe CD player? I'm a proud owner of a CX7e as well. Less than six months old and have not experienced these 'read' issues. I understand that Ayre recently changed the transports they use because of a replacement part issue going foward.I'm not certain which tran... | |
| SPEAKER Cables for QUAD 2805's with VTL 225's mono Wow! SunnyBoy1956, Do you find a big pickup in swapping out the stock pc's on the Quads fot the Transparent PC's? I was thinking of adding Hydra 2 or Guardian, maybe a PS Ultmate Outlet cause I have my mono blocks right next to the speakers and bo... | |
| SPEAKER Cables for QUAD 2805's with VTL 225's mono Wow! That's a great find, Peter. Thanks. I wasn't certain if changing the PC's would provide better sonics or not. I'mnot looking to go off the 'deep end' in cable/tweak land, so I'm all for something low cost. Don't know anything about VanHaus. A... | |
| Review: Dahlquist DQ-10 Speaker Thanks Saygr. I understand Jon was in a car crash back in the Dalquist heydays... I just recently heard that he is doing better, but I don't have any details. | |
| Review: Dahlquist DQ-10 Speaker Very right on review! Nice too see such interest in Dalquist in 2008. I have been using the DQ-20's for 20+ years, org. owner. Also power hungry. Used a Bryston 4B. Now VTL 225 Monoblocks. I still use a 15" Janus Sub-woofer powered with it's own 1... | |
| Wizard of Oz / Dark Side of the Moon Yes, I tried it at Home... and also saw a Pink Floyd cover band, The Machine synch up the Film and preform Dark Side Live- just in case I was cueing it up wrong. Both times I have to say that Overall, I really didn't think there is much to this st... | |
