| ARC vsi75 versus ARC reference 75 Well I went for an audition today and unfortunately, it was'nt close. The VSi75 did'nt have many miles on the clock and the Ref 75 was matched with an LS27, not a 17, which the dealer did'nt have. The difference was really quite stark, the integra... | |
| worse entertainer or performer of all time?? I immediately thought of William Shatner, I think his partner in crime Leonard Nimoy produced an LP too. Now put those 2 together and it would be judgement day. Great work on Star Trek though guys, but stick to the day job. | |
| OK to replace one power tube for amp? I have changed one 6C33C on my Ayon Spark, no problem. That is again, as Swampwalker says, because I can bias the tubes myself, not true with fixed bias of course | |
| Remember the year and first vynil you ever bought? Sometime in the late 50's, I can't rember, Franky Limon, " Teenager in Love", I think, on 78 | |
| Best way to warm up the sound I would have thought the cartridge would be the clearest and perhaps, cheapest way to change the sound. I don't want to generalise as I have'nt had many, but I find Ortofon on the brighter side of neutral, excepting the SPU range. So another range... | |

| High end audio - London Frank, I think high end dealers recognise tyre kickers the world over. Even if your a keen audiophile, if youur not buying, your a tyre kicker. The highest end is probably: http://www.kjwestone.co.uk/ I have never been there, but it stocks pretty ... | |
| Sara K SACD vs. XRCD Sorry Milpai, I should have said, Waterfalls is a Sara K CD on the Stockfisch label. I think it was her first on Stockfisch, when she moved from Chesky and her CDs there were pretty good too | |
| Reviewing the Reviewers - and the decline of HiFi Mrtennis responded that if HiFi is in decline, then the product should be declining too. Not true I would say, because of the rise of small, specialist manufacturers. In the 19070's with a true mass market for HiFi, I suspect the one man and his d... | |
| Sara K SACD vs. XRCD I love Sara K, she is under appreciated and the German label she now records for, Stockfisch, is under appreciated too. I have'nt found a bad Stockfisch recording yet and some great artists on the label, along with Sara K, including David Munyon, ... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE The discussions are'nt just for the OP, some are of general interest to all of us. | |
| ARC vsi75 versus ARC reference 75 I am going to compare them in the store, when the integrated is in, I will report back. To change the subject slightly. I don't know anything about the hierachy of ARC Pre's. I know the LS27 is better than the LS17, how about some older units like... | |
| Need Help finding Speakers Budget 20,000 US Pbnaudio, my comments were'nt a criticism, but an observation on the break down of pricing in HiFi companies. If you want to get a good bang for your buck, then the one man operation, selling direct to the customer, is a good way to go. Particular... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE I have never really "got" magico at all, having heard various iterations at a number of shows. I went to a store demo of Devaliet amps, which had the D Premier and S5, this week. Now I get it, really delightful balanced sound, detailed without edg... | |
| Beware: Fraudulent Ads from Zero Feedback guys We are always vulnerable to fraud. Even an established Account is no good. I had my E-bay A/C hijacked by a fraudster a few years ago, by using a virus to find my password. He put about $500000 on for 3 day sale within a few hours, nearly new Audi... |
