| VTL 5.5 questions I purchased a 5.5 and was planning on getting it with the phono pre installed. I even sold my Cary phono pre. Then I changed my mind and went without on the VTL. I wanted to keep my options open on a seperate phono pre. I figured I would eventuall... | |
| BAT VK-31SE vs Mac C2200 I owned the 31SE for a few years, then went to a Cary SLP98F1, still didn't get what I was looking for. I then auditioned the Mac that your are looking at, like the BAT it was just too solid state sounding, to me. Then I brought home a VTL 5.5, it... | |
| Skips with CDR's If that's normal, I am ok with that. I just want to know if there is something wrong with my unit. If I do sell it I want to know that it is working properly.ThanksJeff | |
| Skips with CDR's Why isn't this a problem with other players I have used? Is it a matter of being too sensitive or not powerful enough? Is the laser dirty? If so how do I clean it? Is it the nature of Cary or other higher end players? I realize the problem with th... | |
| Multi channel Amp BAT VK6200, AnthemP5, Sim audio I would suggest getting 3 channel amp for the center and surrounds. You can mix and match with the mains as your tastes change. I have been using an Anthem MCA-3 for the past 5-6 years and have change the mains numerous times in that same period. ... | |
| New Soliloquys with spikes and hardwood floors I have not tried this, but I thought that maybe a piece of acrylic(or something similar) under the spikes would do the trick. A piece maybe the same size as the speakers or a little bigger. Sometimes you need to sacrifice a little sound quality an... | |
| VSA speaker owners What did you upgrade to? Don't know how the Moscode sounds, but it sure looks cool. | |
| B&W 804: Big improvement over 704? Being a Von Schwiekert owner, I would recomend the VR$jr's. If you want to stay with B&W and want less harsh, try the 803d. The diamond tweeters are less harsh.Jeff | |
| VSA speaker owners What did you upgrade to? Looks like if/when I change speakers, Hyperion will be on my list to demo. They look very similar to the Verity's and if the sound is close,I could save a few bucks. I like the fact that lower powered tube amps can be used with them. Hopefully by ... | |
| Vr4jr's and sub Since it's a combined 2 channel HT system, I have a couch with reclining ends. I sit on the right so, since I'm not in the center, I have toed the speakers a little extra to make my spot as close as possible to be the "sweet spot". The right speak... | |
| VSA speaker owners What did you upgrade to? I haven't wanted to make a change yet, but I will mention a few speakers that I would definitely consider. Not in any order:B&W 803dB&W 802Verity Audio ParsifalTalon Audio FirebirdVSA VR4srI like the question and look forward to seeing som... | |
| Melos SHA Gold - what may be the fix.. I did leave a little info out. I had a BAT VK-31SE and I had some issues, when I called BAT there was a re-set sequence that the ran me through and that fixed my issues. It was a matter of holding two different buttons and shutting it off at the s... | |
| Melos SHA Gold - what may be the fix.. Don't want to ask a stupid question, I know nothing about melos, but did you try unplugging for a while? Just in case it's just a matter of re-set. Just ignore me if this is too obvious.jeff | |
| What should I upgrade -- speakers or amp? Too bad you can't get a listen of the VR4's, but the 804's will be a pretty good upgrade from the CDM7's and they will give you a lot of listening pleasure. Jeff | |
| What should I upgrade -- speakers or amp? I do not care very much for the N803 or N804, in that series I really like the N802. But I like the N803D and I think they are very close to the N802, with a smaller footprint. The new diamond tweeter really makes a difference, plus I think they a... |
