| Plinius SA REF and. AyreV1x I own the V-1x & upgraded to it through the V-5x & V-3. Never owned Plinius separates but had the 8200 integrated for a few weeks. It's not a fair comparison but it couldn't keep up with either the Pass or Ayre gear I had right before &... | |

| Suggestions for next upgrade... I auditioned the VR2's in home & found them to have plenty of bass, so your problem is probably elsewhere. I very briefly had some Odyssey mono-blocks but they didn't work out but would think the Stratos could power the VR2's to provide good b... | |

| Breaking in a new amp I'd like to hear a few cuts on your system. Heard some Coincidents w/Manley gear & liked it a lot!One of the nice things about being home during the day is nobody cares what I do with the volume control but I don't always play loud. Today I'm ... | |
| Breaking in a new amp Nope, I didn't say run an amp beyond its limits. I said open it up, which means at its max. I bought a big-ass amp so I could listen over 100dB w/o audible distortion, because I like to listen that way sometimes. So yes, sometimes I do play my amp... | |
| Progressive Rock I would say the emphasis w/rock would be a spkr. that produces plenty of bass, so a large floorstander would fit the bill. Some folks might opt for standmounts w/sub but I've never liked the integration. Depends on personal preferences.Then in ord... | |
| Progressive Rock The majority of my collection is rock and I have built my system accordingly. I have the VR4 GenIII spkrs that Tvad mentioned mated with an Ayre V-1x amp and modded Meridian CDP. I'm currently on a tube preamp search & am now auditioning a Tho... | |
| Breaking in a new amp I purchased a used amp & subsequently used it to break in a new pair of VR4 GenIII spkrs, which suggest loud volume for 100 hrs. During the first two hrs. of max volume, there was an electronic smell coming from the amp I hadn't noticed before... | |
| Silver vs. Cooper speakers cables Have all the people that are recommending your use of silver listened to your stereo?Do you like how your system sounds? Are you trying to change something specifically?Regardless of recommendations, the final outcome is to try them in your system... | |
| RCA to XLR interconnect wiring diagram Depends whether you're using transformer based gear or not.W/tranny based gear, use a tiny piece of wire across pins 1 & 3 and run that to the shell of the RCA. Pin 2 will go to the center tip of the RCA.With non-tranny gear, pin 1 to the shel... | |
| Subtlety ? do any American amps do it? Looked at your system & think you should treat the room, as it looks pretty hard. An audio bud has Audio Physic & they took awhile to place, so maybe try repositioning? Didn't look to see if you've done anything with the AC or not but it c... | |
| Cable support poll. I bought 27 small ceramic pots from a craft store @ 33 cents ea. & just stack them as needed to achieve the height I want.Don't have a clue if they work or not but they do help keep the cables organized. | |
| What age did the "audio bug" hit you? I was 6 or 7 & my brother, sister & myself would sneak downstairs & sit in front of the console stereo & turn it on. We used the single red light on the front for our "meeting".Not long after that we moved to Germany ('63-'65) &... | |
| More speakers for sale than other componenet. Y? Over the yrs. I've vacillated between which component I should use as the cornerstone of my system & currently the amp holds that position.I upgraded within the line over a 3 1/2 yr. period & this amp has made the other components become e... |
