| Problems getting the best out of my Berning Peter, my experience with the Berning would tell me that there is a problem somewhere. I have a ZH270 matched with AP Avanti III speakers. Some have commented that the Avanti's can be a bit bass shy, but I get terrific bass, clean, clear and music... | |
| plasma versus lcd Sony makes a 60" projection LCD. On an in-store closed circuit demo, picture quality was, to my eyes, better than cheaper plasma's and as good as the better, newest plasma sets. Street price for the 60" seems to be around $5k, which is about what ... | |
| Battle of the "Davids"......Belles vs. Berning Ianrmack, I just got a set of six NOS input tubes for my Berning 270 - I bought ones that are 1% matched, and the four 12AT7's are cryo treated. I highly recommend it. I just installed them Friday and my initial impressions are this: more presence... | |
| Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270 As one who was there, I would have to say that the difference in sound between the two amps was not subtle - the Tenors were clearly the more satisfying. I think tubegroovers comments about Mike's system are right on point - it has been assembled ... | |
| Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270 Well, I went back and read the manual for the Berning. He says that the low feedback setting raises impedence and reduces speaker damping. To quote from the manual:"Speaker damping relates to the control that the amplifier has over the position of... | |
| Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270 You know, I completely forgot about the feedback switch on the Berning when at Mike's - we just ran it at the normal setting. I can say that I much prefer the normal setting to medium or low feedback settings with my ML SL3's - the sound turns sof... | |
| Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270 I am the lucky Berning owner who got to hear his amp in a killer system - Michael is right, the Tenors are better. The Berning is very very good, but the Tenors have more presence, more three dimensionality, more substance in the sound. The Bernin... | |
| Berning ZH270 + AP Virgos = magic? I just happened to listen to this combination today at a local dealer - I have a zh270 and we hooked it up to a pair of Virgo's. Not sure what cables were used. Front end was MMf-7 turntable/YBA cdp and Conrad Johnson 14 preamp. It sounded very go... | |

| Mapleshade "CLEARVIEW DOUBLE HELIX" speaker cables I used the mapleshade speaker cables and think that Sean's comments are pretty accurate. I replaced them with DIY twisted TI cable that had been dry-iced and found the bass and soundstage and "presence" much better with the DIY cable. But, I was u... | |
| Any tricks to keep cats away from speaker grills? I have used double sided tape at strategic spots on furniture and speakers to deter cats - they hate the sticky feeling of the tape. | |
| adcom gfa 555 vs 555 II I owned a 555II which I sold on the advice of Stan Warren, whom I called to inquire about modifying it. He advised me to buy the 5400 for modification because it has a better, more modern circuit design and components.(If you need more power, go w... | |
