| VTL 5.5 vs Cary SLP-05 Sorry, @bunkertoy , I made a typo and after a certain period of time this site does not allow one to do an edit. I said that I had replaced "the remaining eight" EH (Electro Harmonix) 6SN7s with JJs. What I meant to say was that I replaced the ... | |
| Ideas for Pre/Power $9000? @lfromsalem , I know that you said that you were not blown away by them, but can you expound upon that? Do you remember what they were being driven with when you heard them? | |
| Ideas for Pre/Power $9000? @lfromsalem , which B&Ws did you listen to? | |
| VTL 5.5 vs Cary SLP-05 . . . also, I am not familiar with the Bryston. Since ’01 I have been running a Cary V-12 amplifier (12 EL34s, a pair of 6922s, and a pair of EL84s as power source for the 6922s) which is switchable between triode and ultralinear. I almost always ... | |
| VTL 5.5 vs Cary SLP-05 @bunkertoy , I've owned a SLP-05 for (I think) going on 3 years now. I have no experience with the VTL pre that you referred to. Also, I do not have the golden ear, and it is possible that I may not even have ears that are very good. With that... | |
| Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums? But at least unlike Audio Asylum, lately, A’gon has not been a political-fight-free-for-all. Actually, audio asylum claims it isn’t either, and the way the moderator deals with political posts is he deletes the ones that are contrary to his politi... | |
| Is my amp good enough? To me watts are watts I don't know any of the equipment you are running and buying, but regardless, I found this to be an interesting and informative (not to mention civil) discussion. I will only chime in to add that not all watts are created... | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system One has to be careful with absorption. If used it needs to be broad band otherwise it can become a passive equalizer with dull high frequencies @scottwheel , can you expound upon that? | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? It was a long time ago. So long ago I am not even sure I remember which was the last. But I am thinking that in the cold months of '03 I drove up tho Philadelphia on kind of the spur of the moment to see Steve Earle at The Living Arts Theater. ... | |
| Are you on or off? What say you? I must have a bit of Magpie in me. I don’t need anything but I’m still attracted to shiny things. +1 @bigtwin . . . I can relate. Unfortunately, I can no longer afford it, so I am off. | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? a rainbow do not exist as colored because the colors are not in the water droplets in the air...They resulted from the way the brain filtered light though a particular medium ...They are then illusion waiting to be debunked .. But most everybod... | |
| Are you on or off? What say you? I am pretty much off. A few years ago I upgraded my digital front end and my preamp, but that was a long time coming and probably way overdue. Considering age and income restrictions, I have no plans to get back on. (Unless I accidentally win the... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? Where are you, @millercarbon ????? Come back!!!!!!!!!!! (Or @millercarbonknowsmoreaboutausiothanyoupricks ???) | |
| Do people tire of audio forums? I will never tire of all the hate. | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system I don’t have any experience with tubes so probably will stick with SS. Oops! I missed this when you posted it. I think you ought to just maybe give them a listen before you rule them out. They really are not all that complicated and with the... |
