| Tubes/SS Power Amps? Hi I had a similar need as yours...less heat (upstairs in texas get's hot fast)...but I always owned tube amps...ARC or BAT...A few years ago I bought a pair of Ayre MXRs. Really happy. They get very warm to the touch...but don't really emit heat.... | |
| Allnic Puritas vs. Koetsu Stone Body dgad, I bet i am going off thread here and maybe I should email you offline. I have a Lyra Atlas using a TriPlanar (current version 10.5 inch) into a Nagra VPS/VFS. I do have a Schroeder LT on order....I also own and LOVE my Allaerts MC2 Finish...... | |

| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? I thought it was interesting u compared breakers to fuses. Breakers can't cost that much, and it they sound better why not. Goes to show u that some improvements are still needed... By the way, how much was the breaker u bought? I bet less than th... | |

| Tonearm cables next league above Silver Breeze Hi you have a few options here. I'd suggest Purist Audio Proteus Provectus Praesto or Transparent Reference XL MM2. Here are some comments I have posted in the past:All are DIN to RCA terminations off the tonearm...When I had my SME 20/2 SME IV.Vi... | |
| Review: Transparent Audio REF XL Speaker cable Madfloyd, I have a triplanar also. I had mine factory wired with a din (about 4 inches of wire past arm base). So I know it can be done...just don't know how easy/hard for a existing arm...mine was ordered new this way... | |
| Review: Transparent Audio REF XL Speaker cable Peter,Wow, first off what a incredible review. The first thing I notice is how carefully you listen. That's very obvious in your writing. 2nd, I wish reviewers made millions...you just might be at the top of the heap!I am not surprised by your fin... | |

| Which is better: Transport+DAC or PC system+DAC Hi Personally, I am into SACD listening. Nearly 100% SACD. Anything else I listen to vinyl. I think SACD is where the dCS shines above all...I'll get to listen to the dCS Vivaldi soon...by all accounts this is a big step up...I have heard the MSB ... | |
| Which is better: Transport+DAC or PC system+DAC So you have a excellent system...congratulations, now I can see why you might want more than the dCS Puccini+Uclock (which I used to own).The dCS Scarlatti's, used prices are great, is a killer upgrade for you. Last year I traded in my Puccini/ucl... | |
| Which is better: Transport+DAC or PC system+DAC Hi, be careful, you have a killer good digital system already. You may find better power cords, isolation or interconnects more effective...May i ask what is the rest of your system? | |
| Alternatives for Transparent Reference MM2 +1 on samhar's recommendation. I have Transparent Ref MM2 in my system. It's a wonderful cable. (if you buy new you don't have to pay the price to retune it...but I guess you pay one way or the other huh...)You have one of the best cables anywhere... | |
| Upgrade BAT VK-55 to VK-55SE? Worth it? I think you're going from a 6sn7 input tube to a 6h30 + more power supply stuff. I haven't heard this...but I do remember going from a VK60 to a VK75SE...The 75SE was definately quieter, better staging...deeper base but more a little more cool...t... |
