| New VTL Stereo Amp? It is the newest amp from VTL, my local dealer was discussing this with me late last year. VTL website is not up to date. Very nice cosmetic upgrade, I don't think there is a sonic difference but I have not heard the new amp. | |
| Taking audio too seriously? I find that when I face my speakers east I get a little richer and more musical tone, I found facing them north or south made them a bit bright. | |
| I'm Looking For the Best forgot the ipod requirment. $6,000,119.95 | |
| I'm Looking For the Best After seeing a bass subwoofer being built into the sub structure of a building, speakers being built at a cost of $300,000 plus for one pair and the nice little WAVAC amp at $350,000 for just the power amp, my suggestion would be to make some appo... | |
| NOS Tubes: Store 'em or use 'em I have found a few tubes that I really like. Assuming that I never change my current components, my estimate would be my current small stock of tubes will wear out at about my 110th birthday. I have marked my calender that on that day I am going t... | |
| CDP to replace vinyl I am a huge fan of vinyl, I purchase about 600 lps a year, have a nice Nottingham TT, Shelter etc. But, I do think that one can build a very pleasing system with digital. I have an Arcam FMJ 33 CDP. Though there are many much nicer, and more expen... | |
| VTA and 180 gram vinyl I listen to a lot of vinyl with a nottingham spacedeck and shelter 501. I found a nice happy medium and have left it without loosing anything. I would worry more that my mat swithching would color things more that the slight variance of VTA | |
| Your vote: Most Useless Audio Adjective -ality. Musicality, bassality, tonality, trebality, darkality, lightality. What we don't need is more-ality. I also cast a vote for minty. I will never buy an item that is minty. Gives me the impression the seller has been licking the product. | |
| Additional isolation for Preamp/ components I use stillpoints with risers under my CDP and really did not want to hear an improvement but I did. I also tried Herbies iso-cups with ebony balls and they were almost, (probably just as), good as the still points. A bit more detail without being... | |
| Will a Full Page Ad Guarantee a Review? I know a guy who talked to a guy who used to be a roommate of a guy who worked for this audio guy and he said.........I really don't have any reason to question the ethics of the audio magazines or reviewers. Although I, at times, disagree with th... | |
| Dynaydio Temptation owners - what's you setup? I have heard the C2 and the Temptation. Both wonderful products. So is the Special 25, which I own. Before even considering upgrading speakers you should look at upgrading your source and amplification of your Special 25's. Though they may sound n... | |
| Phono amp recommendations Well, after a great deal of research I ordered a MiniMax phono stage. Not because it is the best phono stage available at the price but because the consensus of it's attributes will probably work with my system the best. I am a little hesitant bec... | |
| Phono amp recommendations I got the standard spacedeck but with the new arm. I wanted the arm the most. All things being equal I would have liked the newer AceSpace turntable with the new bearing and higher mass motor but I had set a budget and was getting darn close to it... | |
| Phono amp recommendations Sberger, how would you compare the jtli to the Dynavector P75, I see you have used the Dynavector in the past. | |
| Phono amp recommendations Nicksgem10s, I am sending you an e-mail but will also post here so others may benefit from the question. I have read some of your earlier posts, when you had the Eastern Electric MiniMax Phono were you using it with the Dynaudio 20XH? The reason f... |
