Kernelbob- Can you shed any additional light?

Thanks Bob. What kind of attenuators are you using? I'm using balanced cables between pre and amps. Scott Endler's 24 step variable looks best, but he's several months behind in production and I can't find any balanced used. Rothwell fixed at 10 i...

Thanks Bob - Enjoy The Music!!!

Kernelbob - That's quite a nice system you've got there. I heard a pair of 4 jrs bi-amped and fully driven this past weekend and the sound was literally amazing. I can only image how much even better your system must sound with the amps you are us...

Hi Dev- Did you ever try the 500 in your system? If so, do you remember the speakers you were using? Just curious....P.S. - chance to put the new tubes in yet? Mine just keep getting better, with about 12 hours on them. I'm told they will continue...

Al- YIKES!!! Now I'm scared to turn anything on!! Just kidding - thanks for the heads up and insightful analysis.Dev-No problems. Already on other business near Kevin, so a visit to VAC is a no-brainer. I know its long odds they would have a pair ...

Al- Thanks for clarifying on the DNA-500 - I feel a bit embarrassed to have caused this mess-up.Dev- Kevin talked to me about the 300 for over a solid year before I would even give the 300.1 an audition. I was THAT happy with the DNA-500. It is qu...

Dev- The DNA-500 is the sweetest,most tube-like solid state amp I have ever heard, at any price. I used it in my prior system and am very familiar with how it sounds, especially in the bass area. It is very high quality sound and the rave reviews ...

Hi Dev-Still stock fuses. Actually, it was thinking about the 450's that led me to my present plan! The DNA-500 I already own and is 500w of Class A into 8 ohms, 900w at 4. As you know, the first 50+w of the 300.1's is also class A. The VR-7se's t...

Thanks Al - you are correct about the transformer coupled output stage. I think/hope the sonic signatures between the amps will be more similar than not. If I can cable this properly, I'm hoping to achieve several orders of magnitude in sonic impr... 
video processing and 3D
That's what I am doing - direct to TV from Oppo for 3d video - works great.

No it wasn't.

Biodrainx - I'm not sure why any vendor reading your posts would ever want to deal with you at all. You seem like an accident waiting to happen.Rick has gone out of his way to be nice to you here, a lot nicer than most of us would probably be to y... 
Upscaling Speakers, Downscaling Amp...What to Do?
As has already been pretty well-stated, the main reason you like your speakers is because of what it DRIVING THEM. Based upon your responses above, I'm not so sure you realize this. Getting rid of your VAC will probably be a much worse move than y...
