| What's your greatest purchase... Many years ago my TEAC X-10 reel to reel. Loved it. As of late an integrated tube amp, my first tube component. Coupled with the VSA jr4's, magical. | |
| Looking for a first Tube Amp for under $1000 Ditto Facten on the SQ-88, it has remote control for the volume as well. Sounds great and great build quality. Down the road, you will find it able to drive other considerations in speakers as well. The amps you have named I have not heard, some I... | |
| Carver sonic holography Fun feature on the Carver gear. Not always accurate to the music imo, but nice to listen through. Bob Carver is a true audio leader, and has come out with some very nice gear for the money. A real taste of the high end for far less money with nice... | |
| VSA speaker owners What did you upgrade to? Before I made the move to VSA 4JR's I was set to buy the Maggies 1.6, which I still love and would not mine having. But the Vons seems to give me the sparkle of the Maggies plus a real bottom end too boot. Also had a chance to audition the Hyperio... | |
| Review: Yamaha CR-840 Vintage AM/FM Receiver Amplifier Wow your posts and pictures bring back great memories of my 1040, really great gear. Sound, build and looks over the top. Ended up giving the unit to by sister many years back. When some of the lights went out and the unit needed to be cleaned I t... | |
| Review: Salk Sound Veracity HT3's Speaker Enjoying reading your take on the Salk speakers. From what I have read they may well be something to seek after for my next speakers. For whatever reason the Salk HT 3's brings my VSA JR4's to mind which I think are indeed very special speakers. T... | |
| Von Schweikerts VR4 JR's and SR's? Greetings,You like myself really love the VSA line. I have the VR4jrs and continue to be amazed with them. Having had chance to listen to them and the Sr's I could not attest to a REAL big difference. For myself the 4jr's fit not just my budget be... | |
| moving up from Bryston B-60 What do you mean by better at the higher listening levels? The highs, mids or lows, or all over. Some units lack what some consider poor bass response at lower listening levels. This often is the result of particular speakers needing more "power" ... | |
| Newfound respect for McIntosh Loved reading your experience with Mac gear. It has always been for myself a dream to own such great American gear that could best anything in the world. Built to sound good and keep for a life time. | |
| Amplifier to pair with NHT 3.3 Used to have the NHT 2.9's powered by a 250 watt Acurus amp with some good results. Great amps, may be found cheaper as they are no longer made. Acurus was the little brother of Aragon as the 2.9's to the 3.3's. You have some great speakers. | |
| Can Manley's Stingray power VonSchweikert vr4 jrs? My VSA JR's are powered by a 55 watt integrated tube amp. The combination is magic. More power is always nice, but remember tube watts sound go further than solid state watts. Room size in a consideration, you may be able to get away with the tube... | |
| Help Me Build my Home Theater room Sounds like you will have a very nice home theater. My two cents would be to make sure you install ac lines reserved for your gear. Twenty amp circuits if possible. Better sound and no problems from other things in house. Good luck.Glen | |
| Von scheikert VR4jr what are you using ? JdodmeadYou should keep the plate, that will serve as the connection for the top woofer. Enjoy | |
