| "Holographic" presentation Mono amps may not make a night-and-day difference.Much of the voodoo that we-do (vibration control, room treatment, power conditioning) doesn't fix everything.Taken together, however, results in substantial improvement. | |
| BAT Service Purchased my first VK-300SE used and it arrived hissing like a can of spray paint.Seller called BAT who said to forward to them for repair on former owner's warranty!I'm now enjoying my second VK-300SE and planning to purchase some NOS 6H30 driver... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Just saw Alison Krauss perform "Dimming of the Day" onthe "Transatlantic Sessions 5" DVD.This old (1975) Richard Thompson song brought tears to me eyes. | |

| Rega DAC vs Micromega MyDAC I purchased a Rega DAC a few months ago and have nothing but praise.A former Apollo owner, I missed the musical "Rega sound".If you're looking for balanced, straightforward, distortion free (and musical),you can't go wrong. | |

| What does a Hexfred do? Is this why my ARC CL-60 always had a nasty "buzzsaw" ghost riding the waveform of vocals? It has tube output stage but solid-state rectifier.It was either this, a Classe DAC (solid-state) or digital jitter (maybe all three?)that just drove me up ... | |

| Back to basics The new Well Tempered "Amadeus Mk-II" looks really interesting $2850.00(see August Stereophile). | |

| $10K or less speakers for 20x20 rm with open back Bryston Model "T".20 year warranty and was designed to play LOUD!Varying price range ($6000-$10,000) depending on finish.Reasonable efficiency and shouldn't require a subwoofer. |
