| Review: VPI Magic Brick Tweak I bought a few VPI bricks years ago and also had good results with them on top of the transformers of a variety of amps. I read in one of my father's old MSEE textbooks from the golden age of hifi in the 50's, that a block of iron or other magneti... | |
| Question for BAT 6H30 tube owners Oh? Have you asked about this BAT lately? | |
| Question for BAT 6H30 tube owners I've been retubing BAT units for years now using $18 6H30s from tubestore.com. They a have premium gold-grid version for $50, which I have not tried.Dave | |
| Upgrade from Merlin VSM-M to What? I'm not sure what is involved in the MX update, but the BBAM upgrade sounds like a whole new line stage or source component. The BBAM is an op-amp based design, and op amps require a top notch battery source in order to lose their synthetic and un... | |

| Sony SCD-1 vs Musical Fidelity Tri Vista IMO the SCD-1 modded by VSEI, Modwright, or Reference Audio Mods will murder the Tri Vista, and just about everything else. | |
| Congested sound - more power or resolution? Try auditioning a better CDP. Slurring in dense R&R RBCD is pretty common in midrange digital front ends. | |
| Stillpoint ERS Paper Question I had great results with ERS cloth wrapped around the intraboard signal cabling inside my Sony SCD-1. Small swatches velcroed on top of the the DSPs, around a Superclock 3, and larger sheets above and below the CDP didn't make any difference.Dave | |
| BAT VK 75SE vs 150SE's or maybe a VK600SE? I see you have Watt/Puppy 6. Before you buy up to more power, consider trying the Zeroimpedance.com Autoformers with your 75wpc stereo amp. I have the VK75SE and W3P2s. The 4x impedance multiplier of the Autoformer inductor makes the Wilson into a... |
