| Elrod vs electra glide? Using Electraglides on front end for best transparency and sense of openness; using Elrods from wall to conditioner and from conditioner to amps for body, power and full-range dynamics. This combination works very well in my system. From a custome... | |
| Which Tube Preamp under $10K? Found a used VAC Phi 2.0 for under $10K, and altho I don't use it, the phono stage is supposed to be one of the very best around. In addition, the support of Kevin Hayes at VAC is truly unbelievable. Build quality is also about as good as it gets ... | |
| Transparent , Kubala , Luminous , or RS Poiema I have read with great interest this thread. About 3 weeks ago now I got a pair of Virtual Dynamics Revelation SIGNATURE Ic's from Rick Schultz at the RMAF. I have them between my Source and preamp and am experiencing what I think are pretty impre... | |
| Anyone heard the new Virtual Dynamics Revelation? I bought the pair of "Revelation Signature" ICs that Rick had at RMAF. They didn't have the Signature dressing, but Rick assured me that's what they were and that he will be debuting this new model at CES in January.I am using them between my APL ... | |
| Best upbeat jazz/progressive jazz/new age CD? Thanks for the response so far - I'm sure there are others of you out there that would also like to share some favorites? | |
| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? Guido-You might be amazed trying a really good powercord, especially on the Esoteric. I've had great luck with Electraglide Epiphany and Elrod Signature and Statement cords. My suggestion would be to call John at The Cable Company and see if they ... | |
| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? Congrats on FINALLY making a decision. Did you get to hear the Phi? I really like my Phi in combination with my modded APL 3910 which compares favorably to the X-01, or so I've been told. Then again, I don't listen to classical chamber music, so I... | |
| BPT 3.5 Sig. owner, what cords have you tried? Using an Elrod Statement with excellent results - great bass and weight to the sound with the feeling that there is nothing being left behind. Compared to the cord that comes with it - no contest. Only issue is maintaining a tight connection, as t... | |
| Review: Denon APl 3910 CD Player Update: New AKM DACs in the APL 3910 - sound got even better, now playing thru a VAC Phi 2.0 preamp(Got a deal I couldn't resist). Now experimenting with Virtual Dynamics Revelation series cables as well as Siltech 110s - pretty impressive so far.... | |
| Anybody Hear the Duevel Jupiter? Heard the Jupiter at Rocky Mtn AudioFest this past weekend. Was displayed using Thor power and Preamp, Virtual Dynamics Revelation cabling. The sound was pretty amazing - sweet extended highs, strong mids and bass with nice imaging from a pretty w... | |
| Differences - Sunfire Theater Grand II and III I went from a II to a IV because I wasn't happy with the cheesy DB-25 connector. The II DOES, however, provide input for 6 channel - I was using it!! Call SUnfire and they will confirm this - its just that it inputs thru the DB-25 connector. If yo... | |
| Best preamp w/Tuner for McCmk DNA-500? Update - Trying a different tuna - Sansui TU-9900 with all the mods recommended on the fmtunerinfo website. It will be interesting to A-B with the Sunfire - I'll be very surprised if the Sansui doesn't win handily. | |
| Need recommendation for a dark sound interconnects I would try Monster Sigma Retro Gold XLR's. They were apparently designed to smooth out overly bright systems. | |
| Legacy Whisper owners - Steridian problem Dbld- The problem was because the balanced inputs and outputs of the Steridian were not functioning properly in my system.Single-ended, as I have just discovered, works really well with no hum OR veiling!! I say really well because right now I am ... | |
