| K&K Phono Nothing much to add, I agree it is quiet, transparent, excellent dynamics, good stage depth. In a word it sounds like music, in comparison with similarly priced SS units I have heard against it, such as the Whest P20, Clearaudio reference. An uneq... | |
| Mono Cartridge, is it worth the investment? I agree with Elinor, it all depends how many Mono records you have. I have a mono switch on my K&K phono stage, it is a bit better with mono records. I am sure a Mono cartridge woulf be a bigger improvement, but think of the cost. Are you goin... | |
| Why are all the Virtual Systems mega-assaults now? I think it is worth everyone posting a system, partly it gives other posters a point of reference. If you ask a question, make a point, they can refer to your system to clarify it. Personally, I don't have a mega system, I enjoy it, am not ashamed... | |

| 2-3K, Integrated or Seperates It maybe controversial, but I think up to about $10,000, it is better to consider integrated amps. Manufacturers seem to be taking integrated amps seriously now, with new companies such as Pass joining in. Unfortunately, one of the best VAC, have ... | |
| Best Audio Related Story (or joke). True story about a provincial orchestra in Argentina, performing the 1812 overtue. A trombone player was a tad too effective in entering into the spirit of Borodino and the siege of Moscow. As you would, he put a large firecracker in his trombone,... | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... I was in an Isle of Mull hotel 30 years ago, when one of you colonials came in, and asked for the best malt in the house , with ginger ale. The barman grabbed him by the throat in a friendly fashion " You DOONT put ginger ale in malt whisky sur" | |
| European Speaker Price Increase The corolary, is that we Europeans find the US a great place to buy right now. Not that I have'nt bought on Audiogon for years. It must be helping your struggling industrial base greatly. | |
| What do you want from the hobby? That article is worth it just for the pictures. His comments on forum posting ring a bell. Looking at threads, so many arguments start with, " Your system and opinions are c..p". They fall into the area of simple bad manners. Apart from the laws o... | |
| Hybrid integrated, best of both worlds? Thankyou, thats very helpful | |
| Lack of depth problem What a useful and interesting thread, a lot of info here for us all. I would only add, that in my experience, amps and source are very important. Specifically, digital lacks depth except from the best players. That for me is partly why it lacks mu... | |
| Tube Amp for Acoustic Zen Adagio I certainly believe the amp loves tubes. I have used a good SS integrated the Karan K180 and the Vova Solista a 22watt SET. The speakers sound great with tubes, although rated at 50watts minimum. The retailer I bought it from suggests 20watt SET m... | |
| The most haunting music you ever heard? Richard Strauss "Metamorphosen" A piece he composed for strings, if I remember correctly, his response as a German, to finding out about the existence of concentration camps. | |
| Resolution Audio Opus21 cabling options I had Steve at GNSC disconnect the pre amp section from the RCA outputs. I think it clealy is better, but not night and day. If you are having the mods done, you can ask him to do that. |
