| DeVore Orangutan O/96 Yes. He's excellent and is coming by to take a look. | |
| DeVore Orangutan O/96 I currently am using the Haut Brion (older version with global neg feedback). Does the Cortese have higher damping?Speakers are way out in room, 4 from side and 6 from back wall, rectangular room, nothing in between.Have 500 hours on them. | |
| DeVore Orangutan O/96 I have 150 hours on my haut brion orangutan combo. Can anyone make suggestions for speaker set up in room and make comment on break in process ( how did it sound during break in). I actually am dealing with having too much bass with this speaker..... | |
| Mono cartridge for Graham Phantom? I would not buy the Miyajima BE mono for the Phantom B-44 tonearm. I have the premium version of this cartridge properly mounted on the Phantom and it does not track well. I have to keep VTF at over 4gm. In this case the tonearm and the rigid susp... | |
| Ayre's new Minimum Phase filter i upgraded mine and noise i used to hear on some SACDs (in back ground during quiet classical music) is gone. a year ago charles hansen and i e-mailed each other back and forth many times as i was shocked that there would be this much noise on cer... | |
| Need Help on Tube Rolling for VAC Avatar Try the JJ EL34. also make all of your pre tubes JJ as well (that's what Kevin Hayes installs for the SE upgrade. That's what I have in my Avatar, and I'm very happy. Remember that all tubes do have specific characteristics, but it's more importan... | |
| Gershmann/VonSchweikert/Silverline Not sure, but according to Albert, the VR5 is better than the 6. I believe him when he says this. | |
| Hales signature 2's. with a VR5 HSE. More efficient than the Hales, and bass is lower, but the mid bass magic is still there! | |
| How are Von Schweikert speakers? $9000 for the HSE version. The 100db are more dynamic, but don't look as nice (the black sock) and have a much larger footprint. The VR5 does so much for it's rather small size. | |
| Gershmann/VonSchweikert/Silverline I have extensive experience with the Silverlines and the VR5s HSE. The VR5 is the better speaker. I run 50 watts ultralinear tube watts. | |
| Hales signature 2's. I owned a pair for almost ten years. bought them new in 1990. absolutely loved them. wonderful fast and accurate mid bass. properly postioned, i got fantastic bass down to 40. | |
| How are Von Schweikert speakers? Yes, I would have preferred buying from a retailer, but after hearing the VR5, that was out of the question. Buying from Albert, as it turns out is better than dealing with a dealer. After listening to speakers in the 20k category for 7 months, I ... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? In the last ten years, for me, it's the Von Schweikert VR5 HSE. |
