| VR-4jr or Gallo Nucleus Reference 3 Hi Elb, the ARC is doing fine & I just upgraded to an Ayre V-1x to run my VR4GenIII's. I don't know if you recall what I said about my room, but the VR's are only 16" from the side wall & 19" from the back & I get an excellent soundsta... | |
| Looking for advice on amp/pre amps... Sit down at the computer with pen & paper & start taking notes by searching the archives, both here & at AA. When you've compiled a list of pieces that seem like they fit your listening parameters, then you can start auditioning. Pleas... | |
| Plinius 8200 or Sim I5? I had an 8200 integrated for a few months 3 years ago when I sold my Aleph 5 & actually having it made me decide to stick with separates. It was powerful but lacked the detail & soundstage (of course) of the Pass I had & the Ayre I wen... | |
| Personal amp evolution Just 3 months ago I said I was happy & would keep the Ayre V-5x & while I wasn't actively seeking another amp, the opportunity to upgrade to an Ayre V-1x "fell into my lap" and has now become part of my system. | |
| Best excuse for playing loud music? Years ago when I had some mono-blocks, I used to use earplugs when playing the stereo extremely loud & when asked why I would ever want to turn it up that loud I gave the only possible answer-I was pretending I was at the concert & did the... | |
| 10,000 watt integrated amp/generator suggestions In my research I found if you want to run electronic gear your best bet is with an automatic regulated output. I didn't find this necessary while used in conjunction with a UPS (for computer) but the effects are obvious when using a small unregula... | |

| Mcintosh-Bad customer service? Regardless of the MAC warranty policy, since they forced the ebay ad situation, IMO they crossed the line into censorship.There is an authorized MAC dealer in town & I could buy anything I want & get great customer service, as that's the k... | |

| Listening Fatigue Of course just as every athlete has their limits of endurance in a given situation, every audiophile has their specific pressure points when it comes to fatigue. A lot has already been mentioned but in general I would say anything that deviates fr... | |
| Got any of your dream system yet? Slappy, no need to eat 10 bean burritos off the floor. Just go to 7-11 or tell me what highway you're close to & I'll recommend a truck stop diner that can fix you up. | |
| tweak, do they realy bring improvement? Just as components, including all cables, are system dependant, so are tweaks. Some of the tweaks I've found to be helpful and have heard immediate improvements were one-piece SS cones for my spkrs and isolation devices between the spkr. modules. ... | |
| Florida A'goners Bolt yer system down Great idea Slappy! FL needs all the prayers it can get. I'm sure a lot of you have been through bad storms but just to reemphasize the destructive & far reaching power of a Hurricane, just two months ago, a huge limb (about 35-40') that was ha... | |
| Any locking IECs that I can install on an amp? Stealth Audio used to sell a locking IEC. Contact Serguei at: stealth@stealthaudiocables.com The tightest fitting regular IEC I've used is a Furutech FI20. You can actually pick up a piece of equipment by the PC & it won't let go. I did it wit... |
