| Solid state "backup" amp recommendation SemiMy situation is identical to yours. In my main system I am using Joule Electra Heavens Gate mono amps & Joule Preamp which heats the room up to sauna like conditions in the summer even with central air. For summer use I use a BAT VK 200 w... | |
| Attention Verity Audio Parsifal/Fidelio Owners I take it you used the model with the four support points. What do these cost? | |
| What's Best Care for Piano Black Finish Speakers? I have used this product on my Definitive Piano black gloss caps to Kharma 3.1 speakers to the acrylic platform on my Basis turntable. Polish with "Zymol" which is made for clearcoat car finishes and will not scratch or leave swirl marks and actua... | |
| Proac Response 1sc hookup I have the 1SC and 2.5 with the same issue, solution, get rid the the cheap pins and either get quality jumpers or Bi Wire. | |
| Review: Totem Acoustics Model 1 Monitor The Totem Model 1 is a great speaker, I owned a pair for about 5 years, it does so much well but you must couple them with good stands. During that time I also purchased a pair of ProAc 1SCs which bested the Totem 1s in a head to head competition.... | |
| What Happens When You Die? It all goes to my son who is following in my Audiophile footsteps. Yes....................... Makes going to CES a blast..................... | |
| Pass Alep2 I have owned a few pair of Aleph 2s and currently own a pair which was manufactured one month before the Aleph line was discontinued in 1999, this pair I am keeping. Prices on Alephs 2 have actually gone up from what they were a few years ago. The... | |
| ProAC 2.5 users please share experience on amp I currently own both the ProAc 2.5s and the 1SC. The ProAc 1SCs tweeters are anything but hard and glary. I like a warm sounding speaker and after much auditioning settled on these. I also had a pair of Totem 1s which were very good and much brigh... | |
| Who hear the Hyperion at the CEs this year ? I heard them and thought they sounded very good expecially for the price. The model shown had more than just the upgraded wood finish. The bass drivers are different, included are the feet with spikes plus the bass module weighs about 20 lbs more ... | |
| McIintosh Lovers Only I am a big lover of McIntosh, have been since college, I have three separate systems however all are solid state. The lession is take Bigjoe's advice above, wait for the one you want, it will eventually come up, they always do. You will be more sa... | |
| BAT VK-xx owners: Where do you buy 6c33b tubes? I also purchased these tubes from Anthony Welsh, actually about 16 of them, as replacements for my Joule amps. No problems receiving the tubes but have yet to try any. I have also heard these have a high failure rate. I have no way to test these y... | |
| Tube Amp Suggestions Atma-Sphere M-60s are a great amp with the right speaker and the Virgo II is not one them. The impedance of the Virgos drops too low for the Atma-Spheres and you will start to blow output tubes even at moderate level. I had this set up and to fix ... | |
| Kharmas with Atma-Sphere Honest1Mine are not the latest version that just came out but the version before. Have not heard the new one yet. | |
| Kharmas with Atma-Sphere Yes I used the Kharma 3.1s with a pair of Atma-Sphere M60mkIIs with great success. I tried many amps with my Kharmas (Joule Heaven's Gate, Pass, BAT VAC) and they sounded very good but not great, the Atma-Sphere was the best the group for these sp... | |
| Funniest sales pitch No, you can't take the speakers home to audition for one day, someone might come in and want to buy them!True story, I didn't and the store didn't sell them either for at least a year. |
