| Legacy Whisper owners - Steridian problem I appreciate the responses so far. Obviously Legacy is first up - I'll probably need to talk to Bill D. to get anything meaningful done. They ought to be able to fix their product so that it doesn't interfere with the rest of my system or degrade ... | |
| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? Got my Phi back from Kevin and have greater low level volume control than before. I really like this preamp, and even though currently working through a few system difficulties apparently created by the Equalizer for my Whisper speakers, it still ... | |
| Legacy Whisper owners - Steridian problem Fsarc - Thanks for the info-- I'm not familiar with either of those pieces, but will check them out. The Steridian is designed by Legacy to equalize/accentuate bass, mid bass, upper bass and lower mids in the Whisper speakers. It is designed speci... | |
| Best preamp w/Tuner for McCmk DNA-500? Glai-The 3910 sounds GREAT thru the Phi. No desire to try it direct - like the extra tubes in the chain.Steve - When I get the chance, but don't think it will be anytime soon. Way too bz...... | |
| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? Fsarc -Yes, my unit is older. I'm sure yours already has what mine is getting. The reason for the "tweaks" is that I have a few system aberations that Kevin and Brent are making gain allowances for in the Phi circuitry. It will not make mine any "... | |
| Best speakers for Classical music under 10k used I would say Legacy Whispers. They can be magical, especially with a tubed front-end. Lots of speakers, 95db efficiency, open air design, really nice. Can be had used for your price range if you can find them. | |
| Best preamp w/Tuner for McCmk DNA-500? Steve - Thanks for your help. Kevin at VAC is also great to work with. Apparently there are a number of VAC preamp users that are pairing up with your DNA-500 with outstanding results, and the numbers are growing! I guess I just had to get there t... | |
| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? My Phi 2.0 is also at VAC, receiving this Volume Control Upgrade plus a few more little "tweaks". The "VCU" is supposed to do exactly what Bhouser says. Hopefully will be back Wed. | |
| Which is more important - Interconnects or PCs? Speaker cables, IC's and power cables are all "tuning devices", and as such, IMHO its pretty tough to rank them. Just as a certain speaker cable or IC can transform a particular system, so can a particular powercord. To get the most out of a syste... | |
| Best preamp w/Tuner for McCmk DNA-500? Further update - succumbed to VAC Phi 2.0 preamp. Pretty much nirvana....... | |
| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? Just got my Phi 2.0. I can't stop smiling.... (plus, it looks great!). Smooth, detailed, wide and deep soundstage (when its in the music), perfect placement of instruments, very involving and musical. Need to tweak my system some (a little too muc... | |
| Legacy 20/20 and Tubes Tubes are tough on the better Legacy speakers due to the lower impedence. If you put enought of the right kind of power to them, they sing. The Focus and Whisper speakers do need good sized rooms to be best appreciated - in a smaller room, or with... | |
| Any fellow VAC Phi 220 owners out there? Thoughts? Fsarc-ANy contact info/website for Critical Mass Systems would be appreciated. | |
| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? Pscialli - I've had a VAC STD LE for 3 months now and I really like it. It does not have the phono stage, which is not a problem for me at this point since I don't spin vinyl. I really like the VAC sound, and after talking to Kevin H. several time... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Legacy Whispers are Whonderful! |
