| The best sounding FM Tuner is..... Best sounding tube tuner is the Marantz 10B without question. Pure silk with no roll-off. Best SS tuner I own (going on eighteen) is the Tandberg 3001A (orignally $2200)followed by the Audiolab 800T. | |
| Best integrated Tube amp as an intro to tubes Look into the Joule VAMP. Good luck! | |
| Anyone using Joule Electr VZN100 MKIII amplifiers? I can testify to a LA150/Berning ZH-270 combo with the Merlin VSM-MX. Magnificent! | |
| Best Power Conditioner I would look into the Sound Applications XE-12s power conditioner. I've used mine for a couple years with excellent results. | |
| Berning ZH-270 Amplifier,Which Speaker? For 6K you can pick up a used pair of the Melin MX speakers. The synergy between the ZH-270 and the MX is remarkable. So much so that I believe that David is only selling new 270's to Merlin owners. I recently changed amps from the Simaudio W5 to ... | |
| Top Ten Tuners of all Time?? I'll throw in another vote for the Tandberg 3001A. The tuner sold for $2200 when new, and you can tell by the build and features. Another favorite is the Luxman T-117. Both are outstanding. | |
| Audio aero Capitole MkII I get great results plugging my Capitole Mk2 dircetly into a David Berning ZH-270 amp. But I prefer the warmth and textured improvements by feeding the Capitole through a Joule LA-150 linestage to the Berning. Great CP player either way! | |
| Matching Pre-Amp for Audio Aero Capitole MKII ? After my last post I emailed Ralph Bauer at Globe marketing, who then emailed Globe Audio for their input as to volume settings on the Capitole when run through a preamp.Globe Audio states that at odB, the Capitole puts out about 5 volts from its ... | |
| Matching Pre-Amp for Audio Aero Capitole MKII ? I've had good luck running my Capitole Mk2 through a Joule LA-100 linestage. It seems to add a little texture to voices, especially womens voices. I set the volume on the Capitole at 0 dbr to let all the information therough to the linestge. Other... | |
| Berning ZH 270 and Power conditioning I've had excellent results using a Sound Applications XE-12s power conditioner with my 270. I have an Elrod EPS 3 Sig from a cryo'd hubble to the conditioner and a Silent Source SIc PC from the analog side of the conditioner tothe Berning. Very Qu... | |
| Berning ZH270 Tweaks Even though David prefers that the ZH-270 not be run through a power conditioner, I've found a marked inprovement in the noise floor running my Berning through a Sound Appications XE-12S conditioner. I use a Elrod EPS 3 Sig PC into the conditioner... | |
| Best value speakers available I would have to say that the best value speaker out there would be a pair of used premium finish Merlin VSM-ME with BAM. These Stereophile Class A sleakers can be had on AGON for under $4000. Defintitely worth the cost. | |
| What is the best Beatle Song Anything off the "White Album" | |
| Berning ZH 270 and Power conditioning Can't say I've had a problem with buzzing with my 270. I use a Silent Source PC on my Berning plugged into the analog section of a Sound Application XE-12s power conditioner. I've tried plugging the Berning directly into a dedicated 20A AC line, b... | |
| Top Ten Tuners of all Time?? Of the dozen or two vintage tuners I own, I would have to say the Accuphase T100, the Kenwood 600T, and Sansui Tu919 provide the broadest soundstage and great sound from top to bottom. The Yamaha CT-7000 and McIntosh MR-80 are wonderful in their o... |
