| Which Kharma? Hi, Andrew:Amati is a great speaker, one of the best out there. I think the right way to built a system is to match amps with speakers and not the other way around. If you like Amati, I would suggest keeping them and getting more powerful amps. So... | |
| ARC VT-100MKII to MKIII, upgrade worth the cost? Gmorris, thank you. Kevin from Uscale Audio recommended me the 6H23. I decided to let ARC to install input tubes. Just too much hassle to bias them by myself. I might experiment with EH KT-88 output tubes instead. I will decide when I get the amp ... | |
| ARC VT-100MKII to MKIII, upgrade worth the cost? Kevziek, the resistors smoked right at the moment when I started adjusting the bias. ARC just commented that the tubes are simply bad, I am not sure if it's true or not. I think Teslas draw too much voltage. The voltmeter went quite crazy. After m... | |
| ARC VT-100MKII to MKIII, upgrade worth the cost? Mrwigglewm, that's exactly what happened to me, I tried to replace the driver tubes with JJ Tesla E88CC and blew the resistors and a transistor near the closest tube to the faceplate. These Teslas would not bias in VT-100MKII. I would probably not... | |
| ARC VT-100MKII to MKIII, upgrade worth the cost? Thank you for your feedback. Leonard at ARC told me the sound is fuller with MK III. Do you find it to be true? MK II sounds very good but a little light weight to my taste. Also, they charge a fortune for retubing and financially it almost makes ... | |
| B&W Signature 30 vs. Nautilus 803 speakers not in the same league. Signature 30 together wirh SS25 are the most musical and resolving speakers B&W has ever made exluding the original Nautilus(Snails). I own both of them and would not trade them even for Signature 800. | |
| tube amp for b&w signature 805 Poorguy,I have no doubts that you are a REAL user of Sig 805s and that 300b makes them sing. I also tried single ended Audio Note amps on My Silver Signatures,( I also own Signature 30) but did not stay with them. They sure did make them sing, but... | |
| tube amp for b&w signature 805 BigkidzYes, I compaired a few amps in the same system.I just looked at your system and it's very good. You are using Pass, which is on the warmer side. The only area you might need improving could be the speed. As i mentioned above, for my taste, ... | |
| tube amp for b&w signature 805 The opinion of Bigkidz regarding B&W and SS is a common one. However, I had success with several tube amps with even more expensive B&W designs like Silver Signature, Signature 30, and even Nautilus 802 and 801. What you need is a powerful... | |
| Anyone Familiar with Magnan Signature Power Cords? Just heard the Signature Power Cord couple of days ago. It is magical. never heard power cord quite like it. I compaired it to my previous favorite Harmonix Studio Master and Magnan was clearly better. It might even be the best one I ever heard, e... | |
| Class A amplifier choice, need suggestions I haave not heard anything better in solid state class A then Symphonic Line Kraft Reference 400 and 250, either stereo or mono. | |
| high end progressive scan dvd player If you don't care about DVD-Audio, jump on the first available used EAD TVP. it is by far the best progressive video player out there. It has the silicon chip which is one of the finest. EAD don't put it in there new DVD audio capable players and ... | |
| Looking for a tube preamp that is 1700 or less. Aronov LS-9000, You can fi nd it used under $1000, which is a steal. | |
| Magnepan MG 2s'..Old,OK, but worth re-furb? I have owned MGIIs and loved them. I had them rebuilt coz one driver was blown. They came back from the factory in as new condition.If i remember correctry, the cost was $300 including shipping back to me. They also replaced cloth, so Maggies look... | |
| convergent/koetsu. Opinions Heard it quite a few times at my dealer's setup. CAT has plenty of gain. it can support Koetsu's 0.5 output easyly. You can't go wrong with this combination. Sound is fantastic. (I have the Rosewood myself).Enjoy! |
