| BAT VK 75SE vs 150SE's or maybe a VK600SE? Jmcgrogan2 - Be cautious of BAT reviews in TAS, when TAS reviewed the VK300XSE, some of the 'reviewers impressions' were an exact duplicate of what was written on the BAT website. E.G., effect of pre-amp section type on sound. I suppose it could b... | |
| Does one NEED multiple amps? One amp, 3 cd sources of varying flavor, 2 armwands with different flavored cartridges mounted. I suffer from Terry's affliction, but am happier varying the source than the amp to solve it. | |
| Which cd player: New /w Mod or just plain new? I second Lkdog! Other thing, no matter what you do or how much you spend, all fixed voicing cd players are going to really really suck on some of your favorite cd's. My approach was to define what I didn't like about the sound of my current cd pla... | |
| BAT line stage and amp users: What power cords? Jfrech - Feb 06 page 86. | |
| BAT line stage and amp users: What power cords? Unless BAT has changed their website faq's, they will tell you to run a dedicated line & won't suggest anything else powerwise. If you read Absolute Sound the latest issue has an interesting interview with Victor K., he talks a bit about his p... | |
| Audio Physics ...Bright or forward? Usually, if you are concerned that something will be fatiguing over time (to your ear in your room), it will be. IMHO. | |
| Joan Baez - Do I just not get it? A friend of mine describes Neil Young's voice as sounding like a cat caught in a fan belt. I think Slipknot1's got it, it is the whole package. | |
| JWM10 with TNT Cartridge help PLEASE Kehut - Interesting (or maybe not, but anyway I thought it was), took a gander at VPI's website today. They now offer a 3 gram weight for use with low compliance/low mass cartridges. Whether or not it would make a great difference I have no idea b... | |
| difficult choice EC/BAT If the sound is a toss up. How is Electrocompaniet if you need service? BAT is good in my experience. | |
| JWM10 with TNT Cartridge help PLEASE Kehut - Have been thinking about your note above. The Helicon is spec'd at "Compliance: Approx. 12 x 10 x (1/1000000) / dyne at 100 Hz" , haven't found spec's yet on what would be ideal for a jmw10, but I thought the Lyra's spec's were middle of t... | |
| Reviews with all double blind testing? Wattsboss - We should not test anything well because it would be impractical to test everything well? Agree with your thoughts that there could always be doubts about one single test and tester. I think if we could get folks to care about doing me... | |
| JWM10 with TNT Cartridge help PLEASE Kehut - Am not a champion of ignoring compliance, am curious though. A lot of times system matching doesn't work out & for a lot of different reasons. Also you are not the first to find a Lyra Helikon to sound a little lean for their ear on th... | |
| JWM10 with TNT Cartridge help PLEASE 500 people or so will probably write and tell you not to put the 901 0n the jmw10. FWIW, I did (Aries 2 & jmw10)and I enjoyed the combo (and will again if my 2nd arm wand ever gets here). A popular and less costly way to go for your set up is ... | |
| HELP One pair for $2k Recommendations Please If a side firing bass driver is not a problem, I owned and really enjoyed a pair of RBH 1044SE's. My brother has still got them and loves them. For your budget you could look at the next model up. | |
| Tube Pre "Phono stage must be SOTA" - If you are particular about your phono stage it might be pretty tuff to find exactly the sound you want as a built in. |
