| Seeking advice on high kHz annoyance in my system @cantorgale Can't find the Decca version -only Philips label.Throw out a few more examples please. Also, when were your CDs recorded? There's a reason a lot of people hated early digital. | |
| What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE??? Anyone mention Shahinian Speakers? Saw them at Chicago CES in the Nineties. Wish I could have heard them in my home. BTW, I was using the crossover vestibule in the Hilton and bumped into J. Gordon Holt smoking a fag. Always regretted not "bumming... | |
| Met a great dealer in Milwaukee last week Dealt with Ultra Fidelis, WI twenty years ago. Very good memories. | |
| ISO Advise on choosing Ayre or Bat power amp John Atkinson ran some tests on this point a while ago and concluded he like the sound better with a pre in the system. I used a VK-300SE for many years and will say it "just makes beautiful music". Adding the VK-225SE now-or-later gives considera... | |
| Seeking advice on high kHz annoyance in my system @cantorgale - If you can specify which recordings give you the most grief, others can give-a-listen and feedback their results. The distortion may be "baked in" to the recording (in which case it aint never going to be good). Please specify. Thanks | |
| ISO Advise on choosing Ayre or Bat power amp If your Aerial Acoustics LR-5s can be bi-wired, I'd get a used BAT VK-300SE integrated and add the VK-225SE later. This bi-amp setup will rock-down the house and sound damn fine doing it. Make sure the VK-300SE isn't too old, however, as it's been... | |
| Seeking advice on high kHz annoyance in my system This drove me nuts for years. My problem was a nasty "zippy" quality that was most apparent in female voices in transition (ascending/descending). Always had soft dome tweeters and some aluminum. Don't have the problem with my current B&W 804D... | |

| Best Tube amp match for Dunlavy SC 4A speakers? Among the top-sounding systems I've heard was ARC VT-130/LS-2 separates driving Dunlavy SC-IVa speakers (CEC/Theta front end).The VT-130 is/was a "plain Jane", all-tube, fully balanced design with sound to die for. These pop up for sale once-or-tw... | |
| Do b&w 804 d3 speakers work well with tube preamp? Yes. | |
| Soundstage Could be a faulty IC. One of my balanced IC had a cracked solder connection and caused similar problem. Took it to a guitar shop, got it fixed for $20. If yours are new, I’d exchange for another pair.Try swapping left for right and see if problem ... |
