| What s your favorite amp 2500 used/ 4k I agree with Jmcgrogan, and took it a step further. I faced the same quandry as you not long ago and decided to not integrate the two. I use my main rig for music, and in the same room I've set up a HT system. I believe the two applications, movie... | |
| Bi-WIRE CABLE - NEED ADVICE Transparent will fit the bill, they're wonderful with my Quests. Model? Browse the used and see what fits your budget, and, enjoy! Jeff | |
| EAR Footers: Which ones, how to install? Good idea Will, shouldn't harm anything to use a dab of silicone. Do you really need to put 10 of the larger footers under a 100lb amp? Thanks, Jeff | |
| BAT VK 3i vs Audible illusions mod3a ?? I don't regret my BAT VK30 purchase. $2100 (included the BATPAK upgrade and remote), then picked up a Lehmann Black Cube phono section for $400. Killer preamp combo IMHO | |
| Applause: Bummer Dekay, that would be Bryan Ferry. Roxy Music is touring as we speak, BTW. As for live recordings, they vary much like studio recordings do. For the most part, there tends to be more energy conveyed and even the mistakes the musicians make add to t... | |
| The "Broken Blue Point Special Club" Busted my BPS exactly the same way installing it on my Oracle Delphi a few years back. Tried to install a Grado on my Oracle Alexandria, busted the tonearm wires, cost me $400 to get the arm re-wired. I now use the Grado Reference series on my 'ta... | |
| Logans and Heavy Metal? I own Quests and Aerius', and they rock with the right associated gear. Bear in mind ML's are very sensitive to set up, moving them around a little can get the desired tonal blance you're looking for. Metallica, Rage Against the Machine, The Offsp... | |
| Where to buy parts?? http://www.partsconnection.on.ca/pages/main.html division of Sonic Frontiers, great guys! | |
| Hardwood audio rack And how would a 3/4" inch solid oak rack, on an oak strip floor stack up against using maple etc for rack material? Best, Jeff | |
| BAT VK 500? I picked up a used VK500 here on Audiogon about a month ago, it is a terrific amplifier, quite a beast. Smooth, with plenty of authority and the reliability of transistors. My point of reference is a Classe DR8, also a very good amplifier, but wit... | |
| Sonic Frontiers Tech Support is Great Just came back from SF, since I'm here in Toronto on "business". hehehe. Anyway, got a tour of the place, saw their setup (they're moving a few miles away from where they are next week BTW). Spent some time with Frank from The Parts Connection the... | |
| where to buy grado headphones? Headroom sells 'em, as does Audio Advisor. I owned a pair of SR60's for a while and sold 'em, they're not bad cans, but uncomfortable. I'd suggest you look at Sennheiser 580's or 600's if you can stretch your budget some, MUCH better and far more ... | |
| Audio Research preamp LS vs SP Beaudoind is right, the SP series have phono stages, and the LS series are line level preamps only. Most of the SP series do not have remote control capability, whereas the LS products do. As for the model numbers, well, the higher numbers are the... | |
| HOW LONG DID YOU HAVE TO WAIT TO GET.... I'd like to say it took me 10 years, but just when I got the hardware that I always thought would be perfect, well, turns out some new stuff came long and what I thought was my dream system was merely a stepping stone on the audiophile journey. As... | |
| Speaker Cables for Martin Logan SL3 I recently switched to Transparent bi-wires for my Martin Logan Quest Z's. They sound terrific, and very reasonably priced (I picked them up new, at a discounted price, from a local dealer for $300). Associated gear: BAT VK30 preamp, BAT VK500 amp... |
