| Manley Snapper or VTL ST 150 Jdec, I am actually running it in tetrode since everytime I use triod it blows a fuse in the right channel of the amp. I suppose it needs a new tube or something, but since it is a dealer demo I don't care. It sounds awesome in tetrode and I am to... | |
| Manley Snapper or VTL ST 150 I don't see how anyone could that strings were, in any way, inaccurately represented by VTL. Maybe it wasn't the VTL you were hearing, because this is a strong-suit for VTL. I personally have listened to the st-150 and the st-85, in home for exten... | |
| Vibration absorbing material. You can also buy sheets of Sorbothane now, which can be cut and placed strategically in your rack. I know some people dont like the squishy stuff, but I personally have had great luck with it under my Tube equipment. I use the Audioquest Q feet un... | |
| Ayre vs VTL vs BAT My experience with VTL has been excellent, and I have been dealing with them for years. I think it is important to know how to deal with VTL. E-mail is not the best way to communicate, over the phone is best. Bea is very helpful, and if necessary ... | |
| VTL 450 mystery - please help Do you have a line dedicted to your system? If it works for you by all means go for it, I just wouldn't try it. Maybe Shunyata is the exception...I still would not do it. | |
| Any Comparisons between VTL 7.5 & ARC Ref 3 Also, you should know the PS in the ARC Ref 3 is Hybrid not pure tube. Dgad was correct. | |
| Any Comparisons between VTL 7.5 & ARC Ref 3 What about what I wrote is confusing??? Now I am confused...To be clearer for you, the comparison of these two preamps is imbalanced from the start. A more fair and equitable comparison would be the aforementioned 6.5 to the ARC, not the 7.5. The ... | |
| VTL 450 mystery - please help I have an st-85 as a loaner while my st-150 is being built at VTL..Whenever I put this little guy in triode mode it does exactly what is described in this thread. I saw a glow in one of the tubes on the respective channel of that fuse then the fus... | |
| VTL ST-150 w/ B&W Dennis, I agree the bass is good to excellent with VTL, very satisfying for me personally. And I am coming from Krell, so that should mean alot. I find he dynamics and transparency to be very good though. Granted this is my first tubed system, so ... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? krell?! My experience was that I thought Krell was the best thing too (and it is quite good SS), until I heard a completely tubed based system. | |
| Any Comparisons between VTL 7.5 & ARC Ref 3 There is no question the 7.5 is a different (better IMO) preamp completely than the ARC Ref3. Too often they are mentioned in comparison to one another, not sure why completely. The 7.5 is a different animal altogether, from price point to form fa... | |
| VTL ST-150 w/ B&W Jdec- I would say without a doubt the st-85 drives these speakers with ease. I have been listening for two days straight now and I don't see it caving in on any of the different music I play through it. The differences I hear from the SS gear is b... | |
| VTL ST-150 w/ B&W Ordered an st-150 today with upgraded MIT Multicaps right out of the gate. Dealer gave me an st-85 until the 150 comes in. I gotta tell ya, I don't know what took me sooooo long to realize that it was tubes I was looking for. I am absolutely thril... | |
| Any Comparisons between VTL 7.5 & ARC Ref 3 If a component at that level is throwing noise into a system I would be p*ssed. I would look to the electrical before I looked to the component anyway. I personally haven't had the please to ad a 7.5 to my system, but I can say my 5.5 quieted thin... | |
