| VTL 2.5 or cary slp 308 I dont have any experience with the Cary but I owned the VTL 2.5 for a short time. In my system it was uninvolving at best. I traded it in for a 5.5 which was better but not great. Now I have a Supratek which for Linestage only retails for $2100.0... | |
| Anything better than Vandersteen 3A sig for the $ Will the Magnepans sound good on the long wall with my gear? Ive heard they need to be a good distance from listener and the depth of my room is quite short with spkrs on long wall. Also I need a full range spkr to blend properly with the vandy su... | |
| Please recommend a good Tube preamp. Banter check out the Supratek. The Chenin which is the model I have sells for about $3500.00 new and includes a world class phono stage, remote and HT pass thru. These pre amps are hand built by Mick Maloney in Australia. Ive had mine since Decemb... | |
| VTL 450 or Parasound JC-1 Thanks to everyone for the great input. I think that I will probably upgrade to the Vandy 3A. I listened to them at a dealer and liked them quite a bit. I also checked out the Thiel (I think it was the 3.6) Although both the Vandy and Theil were p... | |

| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello everyone. I recieved my Chenin in early December and as the unit breaks in Ive been experiencing a strange effect. Over the past 2 months I have noticed a gradual increase in upper midrange glare and grain. Mostly noticeable on voices and se... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Amandarae, Ecclectique, Jphii thanks for your input. I e- mailed Mick on the subject of "Chenin or Syrah". Mick tells me he does not use sheoak for the Chenin because its too expensive. Evidently he used to use it for the Syrah though and had sheo... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Amandarae,My pre has 6922 and M8081. The manual does refer to the pre as a Chenin. Both pre and power supply say "Syrah" in the bottom left corner. When you mention "master volume" are you refering to the adjustable gain on the back of the pre?Thanks | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I received my Chenin about 6 weeks ago. It is sheoak and chrome. It is labeled as a Syrah. Has anyone else had this happen? BTW I purchased based solely on the input from this thread and so far I am very impressed.Thanks |
