| Preamp suggestions for Belles 150A Reference John Rutan at Audio Connection would be a good source. I've only read that Audible Illusions preamps mate well with a Belles amp. John sells both lines and many others... | |
| Audio Research CD3 MK2 vrs Cambrdige 840C Thank you for responding. I thought the ARC would be the one but needed some Audiogon insight. Elberoth, you have a awesome listening room and system.... | |
| Need advice on amp to drive Vandersteen 2Cs I agree with Dhgee...The ARC D70 is a great amplifier mated with Vandersteens. In fact I beleve that Mr. Vandersteen currently is using ARC gear to voice his loudspeakers. Vandersteen has also owned V4 Quicksilver amps as well to the best of my kn... | |
| Need advice on amp to drive Vandersteen 2Cs I agree with Dhgee...Keep in mind the Dynaco Stereo 70 for example is only 35 watts per channel. But note that tube watts are more powerful than their numerical equivalent in transistor watts. 35 watts is comparable to about 50 transistor watts! A... | |
| Audio Research Sp-6a up in smoke I've always sent my SP-6B to ARC. It's been there three times since purchased in 1980. ARC has the parts and will bring it back to original, if that's what you want. My last SP-6B service was in 2008 and ARC had it done in a couple of weeks. | |
| Need advice on amp to drive Vandersteen 2Cs There is a Plinius 8200 mk 1 for sale on Audiogon now. If that's what your looking for... | |
| Need advice on amp to drive Vandersteen 2Cs John Marks Stereophile "Tomorrow Classics List". Quicksilver, All. I currently have a pair of 2Ce sig2's. A good 50-60 watt tube amp like a Quicksilver Mid Mono or better yet Silver 60's are great. I think the Mid Mono's have a glorious mid-range ... | |
| Need advice on amp to drive Vandersteen 2Cs I owned the 2C and drove them with a upgraded stereo 70 with an ARC-6B preamp. Great combo in the right room. I'll never forget listening to the 2C at Music by Design, (now gone)in northern California with an ARC SP-10 preamp and ARC D-115 amp. Wo... | |
| Lector 7T MK3, is it really that great? Aceboympk,Point 2. Lector has an interesting customer service definition? Anything to know about? The MK4 sounds interesting. Thanks for the up-date... | |
| Audible Illusion L1 / M3A, which tubes ? Art Ferris now uses the Russian 6H23eb tube in his newer M3B preamp. Many M3A users use this tube as well. | |
| Replacement for Vandersteen 2ci Jtma,My 2C's were older than your 2Ci's but the difference with the 2CeSigII's is the more transparent mid range and top end detail. Of course the crossover and drivers are all improved(using the 3A Signature mid and tweeter)over my much older 2C'... | |
| Replacement for Vandersteen 2ci I recently replaced my 1986 Vandersteen 2C's with the newer 2CeSigIIs. Treat yourself and go listen to these speakers... | |
| Differences in tubes. I was also wondering how the KT-77 compares with the KT-66 tube? I'm also a fan of the EL-34 tube. Beautiful sounding mid range. I've been considering the Gold Lion tube. Running with Quicksilver amps...Thanks... | |
| Cambridge 840c vrs used Cary 303/300 Bobgates,Thanks for the reply. Good comments. I forgot that both were made in China. I think your right on the Cambridge. It's interesting that you see so many 840C's for sale. But, I tend to hold on to audio gear as if their old friends. | |
| Anti-Cables Vrs Alpha Core AG-1 speaker cable Good point. Never considered. Thanks. |
