| Tubes for VTL 5.5 Preamp I am currently running two NOS Tung Sol grey plate 12ax7 in my TL5.5. I have also had very good results with Mullard CV4004s. The Tung Sols have a little more punch in the bottom end than the Mullards and are almost as refined in the top end. I wo... | |
| I received my new table today Well I've put about 8 hours on the table over the weekend and I am still loving it. I put some Mullard CV4004 and CV4024 in the phono stage replacing the Sovtec 12AX7wa and 12AT7 that came with my VTL preamp. That made a huge differnce in the nois... | |

| Denon DVD 2900 problems with SACD Thanks Narrod,I'll try the cleaning disc once more and then I guess it will be off for service.Jim | |
| Denon DVD 2900 problems with SACD Narrod,The cd layer of hybrid SACDs will play but the SACD layer will ether not play at all or will stop playing at some point in the disc. I only have one SACD only disc and I just played it all the way through with no problem. All these discs us... | |
| Denon DVD 2900 problems with SACD I'm sorry for the confusion. I can play hybrid SACD/Red Book CD discs in my Planet that will not play in my 2900. These include such titles as Norah Jones, Dark Side of the Moon, Eat a Peach etc. I was just trying to establish that the physical di... | |
| SACD Firmware issues? I have had problems with SACDs skipping on my Denon DVD 2900. No problems with red book or dvd. I find that the Dark Side of the Moon SACD skips and stops playing the most of any of the SACDs that I have. The redbook layer works when I put it in m... | |
| Axiom M80 VS Vienna Acoustic Beethoven on CJ 11A I have a pair of Beethovens that I drive with a VTL ST 150 with very satisfying results. I tried some lower powered tube amps and felt that the bass was not controlled enough for my taste. I tried VTL ST 85, CJ MV 60, and Rogue 88 before getting t... | |
| Audience AU24, are they good? I switched from Quadlink to Au24 speaker cable last year. The biggest difference was the bass. With the Au24 the bass was faster, tighter, and less bloated. The high end was more extended and the overall sound was more integrated. It was a good an... | |
| Tube amp with Vienna Acoustics Beethovens? OK, Mullard to the rescue. The CV4024 are a huge improvement over whatever the 12AT7s were that came with the amp. The harsh highs are gone and have been replaced with sweet and extended highs. The high end is the biggest suprise for me with this ... | |
| Tube amp with Vienna Acoustics Beethovens? Hey Everybody,I just received a used VTL ST150 and I am evaluating it right now. My first impressions are generally good. The bass is very good, tight fast and full bodied. This is a definite improvement over the ST 85 that I tried. The midrange d... | |
| mother passed away - pro recording help needed Kublakhan,I would try to stay away from portable DAT recorders if you can.

| Bose 901 My first bad experience with stereo equipment came with an early pair of 901s when I was about 9-10 years old. My dad brought home a pair from his bar along with a new Sansui receiver. The 901s needed to have a special pre-amp or post amp? I can't... |
