| Tube Preamp suggestion for the uninitiated I second the Conrad-Johnson PV-10 or PV-11. Look for one with a phonotage. You might want a turntable someday. A nice C-J preamp like this should come in a little under your budget, leaving money for some interconnects. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Just an update on my first anniversary of deciding to keep the Walsh 2000s. Over the year, I have made numerous improvements to my system. I have added a new DAC (K-Works SupperBerry, a highly modded Beresford DAC), new digital cable, new preamp (... | |
| Calling Vandersteen Subwoofer Users Thanks John. That I can manage! Will try it soon and report back. | |
| Using an External Hard Drive as a Music Server I am waiting for affordable, large, flash drives before I dive into computer audio. No noise, heat or fans. | |
| Calling Vandersteen Subwoofer Users well, becasue of the layout of my system, and the number of components already plugged into the Quintet, I don't think I will be able to test things out the way John has suggested. At some point, I will try to borrow a Duet or two and try them out. | |
| Conrad Johnson PV11, MF200 B&W Matrix 804 Synergy My brother bought an Outlaw sub. Inexpensive, not boomy, fills a large listening space with clean, well balanced bass on both music and movies. | |
| top 5 preamps under $1,200 Used Conrad Johnson tube units - PV11, PV12, et. al. | |
| RCA cleaners Resurecting an old thread. These are available from MusicDirect. Here is the link:http://www.musicdirect.com/product/66435Has anyone tried the current version of this device? If so, what is your impression? Thanks in advance. | |
| Component racks I also have a lot of gear. I bought a VTI TV stand, with an extra shelf. It is double wide, so there are a total of four shelves (eight component spaces), plus the top. It is wide enough for a pair of turntables unless the plinths are very over-si... | |
| Calling Vandersteen Subwoofer Users I won't break off any grounds, John. Haven't had any time to work on the system. Hope to try it out over the holiday. I will keep posting. Thanks. | |
| Calling Vandersteen Subwoofer Users Are you suggesting that as a permanent solution - one power strip for the whole system? Wouldn't I be limiting the amount of AC power for all the amplifiers, RPTV, etc.? Or did you mean to try this temporarily to see if the hum goes away? | |
| Best speaker in the US $ 30-45.000,00 range I recently heard the Vandersteen 7. IMHO, it's a must audition if you are spending that kind of money on speakers. | |
| Tips for buying used Vinyl needed This is indeed a wonderful thread! Adding my $0.02:I often take a chance on less than pristine looking used vinyl if the price is right. I attend a local record show near my home every 3 months. I do most of my buying at this show. Last Sunday, I ... | |
| Sub for Totem Arros I love the Vandy 2Wqs also, and I own a pair. However, your mains must be fairly flat to 40Hz to work with this model. I am not sure that is the case with the Arros. You risk having a dip in the response between 40 and 80Hz.As an alternative, you ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Frazeurl - as you know, I have been using a used pair of MWTs for surrounds for a while now. Absolutely terrific, crossed over @ 80Hz to a Def Tech subwoofer. I get a real 360 degree sound field with excellent uniformity of tone front to back. Enjoy! |
