| Does Verity Parsifals mate well with solid? First great choice in speakers, I own a pair of the Parsifal Encores and they are truly a great speaker. I am using all Joule Electra components (JE Heavens Gate Monos 70 WPC SET, LA 100 MkIII pre, OPS1 phono, Audiomeca Mephisto II.X CD). Tubes d... | |
| New R Series Rel Subs I purchased a REL R-305 about two months ago to add more bottom end to my Reference 3As and AP Virgos. Very well built and the integration is seemless and easy to do. You don't even know the sub is on and working until you turn it off, the differe... | |
| Best monitor for female vocals? Reference 3a DeCapo i about $1500 used | |
| Kharma Clones? No but try the Kharma 3.1s, it gives you a good amount of the 3.2s performance for way less money. | |
| How good is the phono card in BAT pre-amps? DlwaskWith the 5P I used a Dynavector 20XH High Output MC (2.8mv)and and before that a Benz Mico High Output MC(2.2mv). When I sold the 5P I moved to a Joule Electra OPS1 still matched with the Dynavector. With the 834P I am using a Benz Glider Me... | |
| How good is the phono card in BAT pre-amps? I had the VK30 with phono card it was not too bad for a SS phono stage and a good option if space is a concern. Later when I moved to a BAT 5i preamp I picked up a VK 5P which is a very nice sounding unit and used it for a number of years with goo... | |
| Office system For an office/den system I am using a McIntosh MC2105 Power amp and the matching MX113 Tuner/Preamp along with a MCD7000 CD player all in original McIntosh walnut cases. Other than the CD player this is a great vintage system from the late 60s/ear... | |
| custom made dustcover for Nottingham Spacedeck I made one out of a silk like material from a fabric store, cut to be draped over the entire turntable. They make a glue like materaial that you put on the cut edges to prevent fraying. I use this on both my Spacedeck and Basis turntables and in f... | |
| The best "no fuss" turntable for $5K or less? I agree with the above posts, I have both a Basis 2001/Rega Arm and the Nottingham Spacedeck with Space Arm and both have been hassle free. Once set up you can pretty much just sit back and enjoy the music. Sound from both of these tables is excel... | |
| How many audio systems do you have in your home? 4 plus HT -Main listening room, secondary listening room, den, living room. Add one more if you count the garage...Its a disease I know..... | |
| Owning too many speakers Verity Parsifal Encores, Audio Physic Virgos, Proac Response 2.5s, Proac Response 1SC, Unity Audio Signature One's. Plus a whole set of Definitive Technology HT speakers and subs. If I add another pair something has to go, I wonder if my wife was ... | |
| Trying to get back into Lps, I seem to be throwing Power55 I owned a Project Perspective turntable with Benz Mc20E cartridge for many years, this was my first step into serious vinyl. The Perspective is a great sounding table when set up properly, and once set-up you can pretty much forget about... | |
| What next after Audio Physic Virgo II I too have owned the Virgo IIs for about 5 years and to this day enjoy them a great deal. About a year and a half ago I upgraded to Verity Parsifal Encores. In my system they get everyting right plus the have a bottom end the Virgos can't even com... | |
| What is a good combination for Proac Res 2.5? I also own a pair and tubes do work very well. As does the Pass Labs Aleph series of amps. I have used the Aleph 2s and 3 with great results matched with a tube preamp. | |
| Attention Audio Aero Capitole owners, need help Don't know if you can test these since the tubes are soldered onto the circuit board. They are located I believe in the left rear of the player and uses two 6021 W subminiature tubes. As "Peterd" stated above give the guys at Globe Audio a call an... |
