| power condtioner I've had a BPT 3.5+ in my system for years, following all-Monster years ago. As I've upgraded my system, I've tried Audience and Shunyata, before trying the SR Powercell 10-SE. Not even close - the 10-SE actually IMPROVES the musicality without ad... | |
| Virtual Dynamics vs Tesla Hi Dennis-It doesn't surprise me at all that Rick went in this direction. When I switched away from VD cabling he mentioned he was germinating some new ideas to improve in the areas I thought were lacking. From your report, it sounds like he has s... | |
| Looking for a good subwoofer I have a Velo DD-15 and love it. The remote control can't be beat - mandatory if you listen to different types of music, especially when you consider that the recording process varies so tremendously from disc to disc. I also use SR Tesla on my su... | |
| VAC Standard limited edition preamp I had a VAC Standard LE about 5 years ago and it was my introduction to VAC. I now have a VAC Phi 2.0 preamp and 2 VAC Phi 300.1 amplifiers. You can guess my opinion of VAC gear pretty easily at this point.If you have any concerns about reliabilit... | |
| WHERE ARE THE BIG DAC ??? Stay tuned - It appears that Alex Peychev of APL HiFi will be coming out with 2 standalone DAC versions based upon his highly regarded NWO 4.0 player, 1 of which supposedly will be pretty identical to what's in the Esoteric based 4.0, minus the tr... | |
| VAC Signature Preamplifier mkII I don't think "Price" is the answer to why VAC gear isn't more popular. In fact, it is rapidly gaining in popularity as more people hear about/hear it.Kevin Hayes purposely doesn't advertise nor cater to reviewers as do many others, believing in p... | |
| Hi-Fi Power Conditioner ? BPT would be a good choice, if you can find one used. They do a lot of things well and for the money are tough to beat. They are also very well built. | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? fwiw - Once you get the 10SE, I predict you will kick yourself for not getting it sooner. | |
| Does Pass Aleph 3 heat up the room like tube amp? My DNA-500 used to run pretty cool and I kept it on all the time. It would be worth auditioning. | |
| Tube preamp and McCormack DNA-500 I believe my VAC Std LE also had 2 outputs. | |
| Tube preamp and McCormack DNA-500 I had the VAC Standard LE first with the DNA-500 and that was the preamp I had in mind with my post. Sorry I wasn't a little more clear. It was also much better than "OK".... you should be very pleased if that's the route you choose. | |
| Tube preamp and McCormack DNA-500 I would try VAC, used. Had very good luck with my 500. | |
| Rubidium Clock I have a G-Os Rubidium clock and it makes a pretty big difference in the quality of the sound - I agree with Randy above. The amount of change you hear is system-, room-, music- and listener- dependent, however. It might be significant in your sit... | |
| Synergistic Research active shielding question I've done the same thing with no problems whatsoever. | |
| VAC Signature Preamplifier mkII I will echo Art - 2 x 300.1's = outstanding bass. Kurt - If you are serious about getting Kevin's great amp(s), send me a PM - I might be able to assist in a way you will appreciate.Don't have the Ren Sig preamp yet, but getting by OK with the VAC... |
