| 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... | |
| Review: Purist Audio Design Limited Edition 2013 Power cord Thanks for taking the time to write this...I've used Purist power cables before...I think I want to try these! | |
| $18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please I'll have to echo Lenny's comments above. We both have Nagra PLL's on the Nagra VFS anti vibration plates. I am sure there are better preamps...but this one seems to do almost everything pretty right, little wrong.I did compare it Aesthetix Callis... | |

| IC to mate with oppo 105: mostly 2 channel Dozens of choices here. Purist Audio Designs or Transparent Audio are my favorite 2 cables brands. Transparent Ultra MM2 or Reference with mm2 are hard to beat...Purist Proteous Provectus Praesto is also killer good... | |
| General question about Linn Axis Belts do help the sound...I'd inspect it for cracks, wear and tear. I agree with the above..don't get a cheap belt...Linn dealers should stock or be able to order a original ....I used to own a Axis...wish I would have kept it! | |
| Preamps with balanced ins/outs and remote you can add BAT, VTL and Audio Research the list....Also Aesthetix...good points about...how much $$;s and what else are you looking for... | |
| Thoughts on SME 10A Bobbob...what brand of cables are you using today? (for your xlr's?) It's best here to get a new one made up...din to xlr-some brands, like my transparent solder on a pigtail with the din before the main cable starts.It's also true you can retermi... | |
| Thoughts on SME 10A rsf507....the SME's are speed adjustable. While it only has 3 buttons (33, 45, 78) when you press and hold 2 buttons, it goes into adjust mode....SME also provides a strobe disc.I'd be careful saying things fail tests...was the belt old? had someo... | |
| Thoughts on SME 10A So the 10A is a great table...it will absolutely show you what vinyl is all about. I am assuming your Ayre K1x has a built in phono - if so, I bet it's pretty good.I might try a Lyra Delos or Kleos. See if you can get the deal to knock $500 off if... | |
| Thoughts on SME 10A That's a good table It's very well built...will last you forever. What arm is on it? The better the SME arm...the better it will sound...If it has a SME IV.Vi I'd jump on it...Lot's of competition in this range. Does it have a cartridge also at th... | |
