| Ohm Walsh vs. Mirage OMD 28 If you ever get the Walsh 5000 and do a side by side comparison to the OMD 28 that will be intriguing. | |
| Share thoughts on Keith Jarrett IMO Keith Jarrett can't be mentioned in the same conversation with Miles, Coltrane, and Monk. A small example: All anyone has to say are the names "Miles," "Coltrane," or "Monk" and many people will immediately know who they are by only part of th... | |
| Why power cable effect overall syste sound? 2-13-10: AbronferI played with power cables and what I found that actually the sound affected not by line(phase) wiring but by cable earth grounding connection/shield in most cases.What exactly are you saying? | |

| changing from rotel and peach to plinius 8100? I owned many integrateds including the Plinius 9200. I went back to separates lately and I'm beginning to hear more instrument separation, detail etc. But if you can optimize your system with the 8100 (right speaker-match, cables etc) you can have... | |
| High end tube Preamp under $4k used that competes Jmcgrogan2, if I end up with a preamp with exposed tubes and no cage I'm willing to sternly warn my young one to keep his hands off, so that's not a deal breaker, just not as practical as a covered unit. My son has actually been pretty good about ... | |

However, I've been the route of having modifications done before, and if or when the time comes to sell the modified gear, you'll lose your shirt on the funds invested in the modification, and end up selling for ... | |
| High end tube Preamp under $4k used that competes Al, I agree with you. | |

| High end tube Preamp under $4k used that competes Thanks guys. What about the reliability of a unit as old as the BAT VK-51se? And heat, does it run hot? Hard on tubes? You can't leave it on after a listening session if you want to preserve those tubes, can you? | |
| High end tube Preamp under $4k used that competes It seems through recent and older threads there's some agreement that BAT has some tube (and solid state) bass and weight champs in their stable. There are so many BAT tube preamps it's hard to keep track of which models to consider. What's the on... | |
| High end tube Preamp under $4k used that competes The Sira has eighteen tubes. Rather daunting for a guy who just entered the tube preamp kingdom. | |
| High end tube Preamp under $4k used that competes Tom_hankins, I've read that various BAT preamps have strong bass (which I'm looking for) in a tube preamp, but they are also known for being dark. This isn't the case with the VK-51SE? |
