LYRA DELOS CARTRIDGE TOO BRIGHT, THIN AND SHRILL SOUNDING
I had it at 470, 1k, 47k, 220, 100, 47. doesn't make a difference.  shrill bright sound. junk. The HANA ML absolutely blows this LYRA DELOS away!!!

Makes my analog sound like horrible digital playback. Who the hell designed this thing!?

I've had to set it at 47r loading to try to tame the extra treble energy and shrillness. Still doesn't work. This Cartridge is going on Audiogon for 500 bucks. Never again LYRA.  
BAT VK 55 SE
tooblue, The dealer that I am possibly getting the BAT from is also a VTL dealer.  I used to work for the dealer so I get 25 percent off retail. Wonder I should go VTL ST 150 instead of the BAT?  
BAT VK 55 SE
I took a regular VK 55 home to audition. My speakers are 4 ohm so I hooked them up to the 3 to 4 ohm taps on the BAT. There was a channel imbalance, one channel was weaker than the other. I hooked up the 4 to 6 ohm taps and the channel imbalance g...

Ok. Those output tubes really have my interest. I'm not a tube guy. MIG Jet fighter tubes? That can withstand EMP from a nuclear blast?  This is stuff of legend.  
VTL MB 185 SERIES II
the series II does have auto bias . that's why I'm looking at them. I'm a solid state guy going to tubes and want the least amount of hassle . They are 220 watts tetrode and 110 watts triode.  
transistor pre with the sound of tubes
Tube preamp into solid state amp or solid state preamp into tube amp. or all tubes. lol 
What are Your Favorite Tweeters?
The big Scans-peak silk domes found in upper end Tektons make those speakers surprisingly good.  
Which amplifier should i buy
VAC absolutely blows away VTL. It's in another league. VTL is like Mercedes.  VAC is like ROLLS ROYCE. Go VAC if going tubes. Go Pass labs if going Solid State.  
WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD?
very familiar with that concept.  Now if it was the way to go, why don't all the others do it? because it sucks!!! I have heard the Adante. The Bass is a joke. it doesn't have any bass. unless of course you are used to a Andrew Jones designed loud...

OH WAIT?! Andrew Jones IS the designer for ELAC!!!! LMFAO!!!  
WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD?
Ever heard the bass of the ELAC ADANTE? Pure crap. That engineer is nearly as stupid as Andrew Jones. Let's put small drivers INSIDE the cabinet and have 3 passive radiators. lmao!! Sure way to have ZERO bass power and articulation. Andrew Jones l...

Yeah TAD is designed by Andrew Jones. He basically ruined KEF. Guy hasn't a clue how to design a loudspeaker.  Von Schweikert? They sell about 3 pairs of speakers a year. There is a reason why.

it's just getting over paying 6 grand for a 14 year old pair of speakers.
