| Final Analog Upgrades In the chain of products it stands to reason the phono stage should be maximized, the system being dependent on the signal being fed. Personally have an Allnic H7000; As to comparison with others noted above I could not say. What I have noticed is... | |
| BAT VK80 or REX II? Yea, got it backwards. Victor loves his power supplies which are thought highly of and the REX units have the separate PS. | |
| Is it the gear or the ears? I’m down to maybe purchasing a pair of amp stands. Certainly no longer looking to make a major change. Have quite a bit invested and feel like I chose wisely. Focused on music and when sitting down am always grinning about what I’m hearing. Mostl... | |
| Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable? Go for it. It’s just better. Stay up late at night better. And don’t buy the BS about building an album collection. A lot of my faves came at $15-$25. Discogs is your friend.Forget about the ritual of handling the records, reading the inserts etc.... | |
| BAT VK80 or REX II? Wish I could give you a comparison, as I run the RexII. I would imagine they are similar. Love my RexII. Might suggest you call BAT, they are usually accessible. Also maybe talk to Glen Poor at Geoff Poor Audio. Glen sells BAT and was once a partn... | |
| Vacuum Tube Preamp for Solid State Power Amp Pairing I have Supratek's Chardonnay. Funny as I told Mick to make the best sounding preamp he could, price no object and he settled on the Chardonnay. Cost $3700, usually $2650 st the time. I know the Cabernet is supposedly better or the Grange but I'm t... | |
| Location of compoments. I have followed Jim's advice in all areas. Jim has devoted his life to improving system's performance and given that he has only one goal in mind, personally think I'd be foolish not to. One set of balanced interconnects for the long run. Works fo... | |
| HOW DID YOU END UP WITH YOUR DREAM SYSTEM? Spoiled myself in the early seventies with top gear, Mc275s, JBL 250s then professional school cut into it until early eighties, did it again then divorce and kids made it impractical. Got them through college and ’08 got in the way. Finally in 20... | |
| Turntable suggestions for a newbie I'm 90 percent vinyl. Lots of good suggestions above and as usual the audiogon posters are very helpful. Aside from equipment only one problem. Until you have a good area to place the table maybe wait. Especially if you like good bass and play it ... | |
| Has anyone have experience connecting REL subs to Mola Mola Perca amps, class D Call REL. If the negative terminal is carrying a signal don't let that ground wire anywhere near it. | |
| Amplifier Power tubes - important to sound? I have quite a collection of KT88s. For my system the KR KT88 sounds best. Mainly the tone and balance top to bottom being accurate. | |
| Record cleaning and realistic expectations Getting back into stereo in 2014 and found an unopened copy of "Crime" from 1985. yes, it really pops. | |
| Need A 10-30 watt Tube Power Amp, Lower Heat Output, Which Sounds Great, Under $1500 Used You may want to look up the Quicksilver Mid Mono amps. Plenty of power and use any of a number of output tubes. Sweet sounding. Was looking used and none available. Noticed on HiFi Shark they last about 3-4 days. New less than 2K. | |
| Audio Cables: All the Same? . | |
| Tube or solid state phono stage? Lots of really good recommendations and best of luck. Got to hand it to posters on this site, they really helped when I got started. Have an Allnic 7000 H and must say their phonos are generally the best in their lineup. I must say though, BAT upp... |
