| Speaker Recommendations for VAC Ren 30/30 Mk III I ran this amp with my Joseph Rm25si MkIIs and found that they would have liked slightly more juice in my room.Even though this amp has a lot of iron and 32 big 300B push/pull watts I'd look for a speaker of 91 db sens. or higher. | |
| CD for Shindo System? While I would doubt that Shindo uses anything but a turntable to fine-tune and voice his system, I think it is naive to think that he has never listened to how a cd player sounds through equipment he is in the process of designing.I also think tha... | |
| Best tube amp under 3000$? I second the Canary recommendation.Tremendous value if bought used on the 'gon.Built like a tank. | |
| Recommended speakers for Shindo Cortese Think vintage - like old Altecs. | |
| Shindo and Coincident Shindo might be fine.You also might want to pick up a Canary Audio amp.300B's run in push-pull mode.Probably perfect for that speaker and can usually be found cheap used on Audiogon. | |
| I have $2000 to spend on speakers. Used Joseph Audio Rm25si MkII's.Full range, easy to drive, smallish footprint, good waf. | |
| Tube preamp and McCormack DNA-500 I have also had a Vac Std. LE on loan for a week from a friend. Great pre but a lot more tube rush in my system than the Peach.Maybe my friend's tubes needed replacing so I'm not sure that is a fair statement. It sounded great, however.Also owned ... | |
| Tube preamp and McCormack DNA-500 I think you could buy a used Peach and have Mark Deneen, the owner of Juicy Music, install another set of pre outs.He would be happy to talk about it. Very nice guy.No longer selling new units but he will service all units currently in field, as i... | |
| Tube preamp and McCormack DNA-500 Just get a used Juicy Music Peach, set it to Low output impedance setting and you are done.I have had both a Manley Shrimp and a Peach hooked up to a Gamut D200 solid state amp with a relatively low input impedance and the Peach won hands down. Th... | |
| Shindo pre w/ Quicksiler amps a good match I disagree that a Shindo pre can only reach its potential with a Shindo amp. I would say, however, that my Shindo power amp only reaches its true potential with my Shindo pre.I have an Aurieges-L that sounds awesome with my Canary CA-339's as well... | |

| Preamp for manley snappers Why not a VTL 5.5 then? | |
| Well Rounded Speakers $2500-$3000? Look for used Joseph Audio Rm25si MkII's.They will be outstanding for type of music you listen to, work well with your amplification and not need subs.Very easy to place in room, large sweet spot.Extremely difficult to make sound bad.I have not he... | |
| Charles Lloyd suggestions For a vintage Lloyd pick- go with Dreamweaver. Positively hypnotic, with a very young Keith Jarrett on piano.For modern-Day Lloyd - go with his latest, Rabo de Nube. Just tremendous and, I feel, more melodic overall than many of his other recent (... | |
