| EMM DCC2 vs Hi End Preamps I should be comparing the DCC2 versus the VAC Phi 2.0 later this week (if my Phi 2.0 ever ships). | |
| VAC PHI 2.0 or CTC Blowtorch or... Hi Guidocorona- your last paragraph nails it- very well stated!The madness is fun! My 2.0 was delayed a few days as they were waiting for a part to arrive. Kevin is a fanatic and his attention to detail can be frustrating- but worth it in the end ... | |
| Anybody tried EMM DCC2 into preamp? Which tube preamp Saxman2? | |
| VAC PHI 2.0 or CTC Blowtorch or... My Phi 2.0 is getting delivered this week. I'll let you know what I think of it. I never heard a Blowtorch so I can't give you a comparison.What's the rest of your system like? | |
| Best Integrated Amp, Price no obstacle? Vac Phi Beta- awesome! | |
| Von Schweikert synergy VAC amps (especially the Phi Beta Integrated ($$$$)- Kevin and Albert often exhibit thier products together at shows with great synergy and sound. | |
| Any fellow VAC Phi 220 owners out there? Thoughts? I wanted to hear them both in my system also, but I have 4 RAL cords, and he didn't have at least 2 cords with 15A ends. We were going to introduce one AirSine into my system about 2 weeks ago when he came over, but he forgot the AirSine at home :... | |
| Any fellow VAC Phi 220 owners out there? Thoughts? Tvad- FWIW, I brought my RAL to my friend's house and compared it to the AirSine on his Tact 2.2x and the results even shocked him. Taking into account this was not a long term test, the results were readily apparent and immediate in favor of the ... | |
| Any fellow VAC Phi 220 owners out there? Thoughts? The RAL are working out quite well. I'm also experimenting with the Running Springs Duke power conditioner on my 220s. I'm running a Duke for each amp on its own dedicated 20 amp circuit (on opposite phases).It's funny you mention the AirSine as I... | |
| Anybody tried EMM DCC2 into preamp? Any updates on this thread? Has anyone else tried the DCC2 in a high quality preamp? How would the preamp section of the DCC2 compare say against the VTL 7.5 or ARC Ref 3? Or the new CAT preamp? I want a fully balanced preamp if there are any othe... | |
| Any fellow VAC Phi 220 owners out there? Thoughts? Indeed- they are Class A1. This is from my Phi 220 manual:"The Phi Beam Power amplifiers are unique power amplifiers, and the most power and detailed in VACs history. Excellent linearity is achieved without resorting to loop negative feedback, fo... | |
| Any fellow VAC Phi 220 owners out there? Thoughts? In my discussions with Kevin he advised me the feedback setting would be highly dependent on the rest of the system and overall sound preference. He also stressed that the amp will sound far better in Ultra Linear mode than Triode mode.My amps hav... | |
| Any fellow VAC Phi 220 owners out there? Thoughts? The Revelation Audio Precept power cables are working extremely well with the 220s. Silky smooth, dynamic, and superb imaging/sounstaging. I know system and speaker interaction will dictate indiviual settings, but my 220s are absolutely kicking as... | |
| Best Amps for Von schweikert 7se,9se,11se How about the VAC Phi series? I believe the VR11s were biamped with Phi 220 monos at CES 2004 and Von Schweikert and VAC have been paired together at previous shows and also CES 2005 with great results. I thought the VR4jrs and the VAC Phi Beta in... | |
| Review: Valve Amplification Company VAC PHI BETA Integrated 110 Tube amp Steve- I own the Phi 220s which are very similar to the 110/110 (a 110/110 can actually be converted to a 220 if you wanted to do the monos later or needed more power). The 220s continue to amaze me- they are extremely quiet, make my speakers disa... |
