CAT JL-2 vs Tenor 75Wi Wp
I second Ralph (Atma) thoughts.I have had trully OUTSTANDING results driving my Eidolons Vision with both 16W and 30W SET amps in a 19 x 14 room.When I read those comments on how difficoult the Eidolons are to drive, I always wonder, where do they... 
VTL Siefried vs Audio Research 610T
Jon_p - pls do not forget to update us afterwards ! 
What beats the Evolution Acoustics MM3 ??
12-22-07: FbhifiElberoth2- The prices you quoted on both the BAT and the Dartzeel equipment is incorrectFbhifi - you are correct. I mixed the 52SE price with the price of the REX and gave you the incorrect price for the 600SE.But even then, 12k fo... 
VTL Siefried vs Audio Research 610T
Wow, Samuel, relax. I have no intention whatsoever to imply anything, apart from the fact, that you prolly use Shunyata cables beeing a Shunyata emploee. You guys make great products (I'm using Anaconda Helix Alpha PCs myself) and that is why I br... 
VTL Siefried vs Audio Research 610T
I have ~ 250h on both Ref 3 and Ref 110, and the amps are still changing (for the better). I would say, that the first 150 hours are crucial. If you have any more questions pls send me a PM or post them in my "system" thread. 
VTL Siefried vs Audio Research 610T
Dave uses Transparent Opus, the guys at the ARC factory (they have Maxxs 2 driven by 610Ts, BTW) use Shunyata Orion, and so prolly does Samuel, who AFAIK is a Shunyata emploee.Both of those cables are a bit rolled off on top, Orion on top of that ... 
What beats the Evolution Acoustics MM3 ??
Viper z- The gentleman who sold his MM3s, whose room you posted, sold his entire system and replaced each component with a significantly less expensive make and model.I do not belive that his components (MM3s aside) are that much cheaper.BAT VK-52... 
Mark Levinson / Voltage Conversion US = Europe
T024484 - did you try to run it from 230V / 50Hz mains ? I'm asking since my Krell KRC-3 amp also "looked" to be easy to convert (there are 3 switches inside that change the voltage), but after setting them to 230V the amp would not start from sta... 
VTL Siefried vs Audio Research 610T
FYI - Dave's current system consists of ARC Ref 7, ARC Ref 3, VTL Siegfrieds and X-2 Alexandrias. And it sounds superb. 
VTL Siefried vs Audio Research 610T
Dave Wilson is running Siegfrieds with Alexandrias in his home. AFAIK his previous amps were Lamm ML2.1. Call John at Wilson Audio and ask - he knows David's sytem very well. 
Any exp. w/ Shunyata Dark Field Cable Elevators
I would also like to know the idea behind using conductive foam. I currently Cable Elevators (ceramic), and yes, they DO make a difference. 
Affordable Power Cords
I received mine about 2 weeks ago. I was told that making one with Schukko mains plug (euro spec) for me may take up to 4 weeks, but eventually, it took VD only one week to build one.I'm switching back and forth with both AQ NRG-5 (650$) and Shuny... 
Aduioquest Sky & Cheetah
In my system the difference between Sky and Cheetach was very noticable (better resolution and soundstaging) and easily warranted the price diff. At the time I was using Audio Aero Capitole mk II SE into Lamms M1.2 Reference and Avalons Eidolon Vi... 
Aesthetix Callisto signature or ARC Ref3
You may replace the 6550 tube in the PS with NOS TungSol Black Plate 6550 from the mid 50s (or second tooling Gray Plate from the 60s), and 6H30 tubes with some NOS types from early 80s.I'm awaiting NOS TungSol Black Plate 6550 tube myself as we s... 
Looking for a Reasonably Priced Power Conditioner
Have you thought about Hydra 2/4 ? It seems to be the logical choice (bought s/h, ofc).
