| Integrated Amp with balanced XLR pre-amp out Balance Audio Technology VK 300X, Mark Levinson 383, you can order Cary integrateds with balanced..I'm sure there are others (T+A, McIntosh). | |
| High End Integrated Choices I have heard the Mac and until recently owned the Bat VK300XSE with 6h30 supertubes, remote and phono. I loved the Bat, the thing has power to burn, especially for your 805s speakers. The personality of the BAT tended toward the ever so slightly d... | |
| recording from itunes Absolutely! Itunes downloads are not the same, they are at a much lower sample rate/compression scheme. I don't remember but the difference is substantial. It is not apple lossless. I only use itunes downloads for meaningless, 1-off song purchases... | |
| Tube integrated for B&W 805N???? VAC Avatar has the bias meter built in and the adjustments on the front panel, so biasing is easy but not automatic. Might be the best compromise to maintain great sound. Disclosure, I have a Cary SLI-80 F1 and Zu speakers and it is outstanding, b... | |
| a simple yet stupid ? question Volume matters on amps..to some extent. Keep in mind, if there is no preamp volume then the amps are functionally receiving a nil signal. Just my opinion but I believe it matters on solid state moreso than tubes. | |
| how would an entry-level tube system compare? What is your budget and are you going to need a source? You can go alot of ways here and have a lot of fun doing so. Give us an idea of the $$ you are willing to spend so we can help.Cheers. | |
| Zu on Zu TVAD,I certainly did not intend to imply that you were trying to pull Zu down if that is what you took from my post. I was meely trying to say that some who have never heard the speakers act as if they have, which is dishonest. Second, those who t... | |
| Zu on Zu Thanks Sean,Don't react too much to the naysayers and keep your energies focused on your family and your company. Your customers will not be swayed and those curious and open minded enough will take you up on the in home trial.I appreciate the fre... | |
| Zu Druid or Tone + sub Bevan,I truly hope you can get to Sydney or Melbourne and listen to these speakers. Obviously you can't go wrong either way although the type of music you listen to will help you decide between your 3 choices: Druid, Tone, or Tones with sub and th... | |

| New Beryllium drivers by Usher at CES2005 Nrchy, Was your comment about "cheap" meant as a synonym for excellent value? I don't think Usher intends to be a software company so your comment about the CD is fine since I have not heard the CD.As far as the Usher speakers are concerned, they ... | |
| New Beryllium drivers by Usher at CES2005 Has anyone seen or demoed the Usher Beryllium (be) speakers at CES? Just curious on your impressions and feedback. Thanks in advance. | |
| Linn Classik ? Sound good? I had one a few years ago in a second system and the sound is VERY good. The compact footprint and no need to worry about anything cable related except for your speakers (have a Linn dealer terminate the special connectors with decent speaker cabl... |
