| Rowland "house sound"? I am looking for some serious power that I can not afford in tubes. I don't know if this Rowland would even have enough power for me but at this point I am also looking at other digital & SS amps so I can get the bass slam I miss from my VR4jr's. | |
| Solid state amp for Von Schweikert vr4jr's I am currently running a BAT VK-60 but used to have a McCormack DNA-1. I was very pleased with that combo until I was lured away by tubes. | |
| Looking for killer DVD/CD player for 2 channel I am using an Onkyo SP1000, it is built like a tank & plays all formats. I am using it only as a transport because I am using my Bemchmark as a stand alone pre-amp. It sounds very smooth & natural. | |
| Looking for a new speaker: VR 4 Jr vs. Hps 938 I have mine almost 10 feet apart & toed in slightly. I am also running a shotgun run of Acoustic Zen Satori speaker wire. I know it is very important to bi-wire these speakers & I feel a shotgun run is even better. I do not use the data li... | |
| Looking for a new speaker: VR 4 Jr vs. Hps 938 Hello, I have been running a pair of Jr's with my VK60 since they came out. I think there is incredible synergy between the two. I often wish for a little more "oomph" to drive the speakers as I listen to rock & roll & want concert levels.... | |
| BAT VK-30 vs. VK-5i So maybe the 30 with my VK60 then? | |
| Opinion on what power route I should go...$3000 I am doing option A myself & have been for over a year. I have no complaints. I only listen to digital sources anyway so it does not bother me at all. The Benchmark is a very capable pre-amp if you are only concerned with digital sources. | |
| VK-55, VK-60, VK-75... I wish I could justify the additional expense of another VK60 but I really can't unless I just say screw it! | |
| VK-55, VK-60, VK-75... I am more interested in the power upgrade over the sound. I just re-tubed the amp using NOS tubes in front as well as new 63CCB's.I love the sound of the amp I am just looking for a little more oomph. | |
| VK-55, VK-60, VK-75... I am curious how the VK75 would sound, honestly I love my VK60 but want a little more oomph & can't afford the VK75SE. I wish I could justify purchasing another VK60 but really can't. So, no sense bothering with a VK75? I find that hard to bel... | |
| Benchmark DAC1 It will not do SACD, does do DVD-A though. I have no idea if the other outputs will work while the XLR works. Drop Benchmark a line & see what they say. | |
| Benchmark DAC1 I was able to notice a difference between my Parasound belt driven transport & my Phillips 963sa. The Parsound sounded much better, musical & smooth vs. bright & analytical with the 963. I am also using a DH Labs digital cable.I use my... | |
| tube amp will drive von schweikert VR4-jr? My (current) plan is to purchase another VK 60 & run the pair in mono. That will bring it up to 120wpc vs. the 60wpc I have now. | |
| DVD player recommendations in the 1k range +/-? Anyone have any idea's on just a great sounding DVD player or transport for the same money? I don't need video, I just want DVD-A & Redbook. | |
| tube amp will drive von schweikert VR4-jr? I have thought of it but it seems to be a PITA. The research I have found all seems to say there are some difficulties matching the gain between the two. Most folks also say to use an active cross-over as well. Seems like it would be difficult to ... |
