| Need thoughts on Canary & Cary the VAC 300b PP amps are neutral without the rolled off highs/lows. | |
| Need thoughts on Canary & Cary of all the amps i've listened to, the VAC (70/70 mk3) have always stood at the top of the heap, above Cary (805c) VTL (IT-85, ST150) | |
| Lamm, Cary and Parsifal Encore - what combo? thanks for the responses. hovlands have a phono, which i dont need, and tend to run over 3K, which is actually OK, but if i dont need to spend the cash, would rather not. i think my finalists are:lamm ll2calypsoherron vtsp 1a/166 | |

| New VTL Stereo Amp? well, had some svetlana c wing 6550, but one quad needed changing, so i just put in some new TS 6550. they're very new, breaking in. paired with mullard 12at7, they sounded too fat and round. swapped in some sieman ecc81 and they sound pretty good... | |
| New VTL Stereo Amp? hey alex... i guess i'm not surprised. the efficiency rating on the new logans is 92db. the woofers are active. but more power still helped. or maybe it was just the push pull circuit. i think even 100w of SET probably still would've felt soft in ... | |
| New VTL Stereo Amp? the old st 150 uses 4 6550 per channel. i just replaced my cary 805c with the vtl, and dang if the vtl doesn't sound better. the 150 is a sweeet amp, and has nice control over the bass, something the 805c lacks (too much bass bloom). | |
| Tube preamp $1500-2000 for a thin sounding amp? cary slp98, supratek syrah.. the bat preamps are a good suggestion too.. | |
| Any VAC Phi 30/30 Owner's? hey gary... i'm jealous of your phi 30/30. what shortcomings do you hear in your system? does it lean warm, cool, fast, slow, etc? | |
| Does anyone have the new VAC Phi 300 amplifier? so is the circuit in the phi 300 different than the circuit in the phi 110? | |
| Review: Valve Amplification Company Phi 300 Tube amp Thanks so much VacMan, I've been waiting to hear your impressions. I've owned the 70/70mk3 and loved it. I now know what amp I'm saving up for... :) | |
| Amp for Martin Logan the integration on the vantage is the best i've heard yet on a logan, it's very good. even tho there is an internal amp for the woofer, the bass takes on the character of the amp you pair it with... with my cary 805c, the bass is full and fleshed ... | |
| Amp for Martin Logan nice to hear pal. i'm always interested in great amp combinations w/ logans, i'll have to remember rowland. | |
| Best 1m Interconnect under $100 Thanks for the responses. The cable isn't for me. It's for a friend who is building a modest system. Speakers are Quad 22L, driven by a Harmon Kardon receiver and a squeezebox. The interconnect is for between the squeezebox and the HK. He's hoping... | |
| help with a lush 50 watt+ amp hey KW6... i've only heard the 805c, not the V12. |
