| Transparent Phono Cable I think you should listen if you can. I've owned the Graham IC50, the Hovland, and now the Purist Venustas. (All sme din to XLR's) I also exclusively used all Transparent Ref w XL speaker and interconnect. That was until I tried the Purist Venesta... | |
| Tubed amps for WP7s Are those the Air Tights with the EL 34's? If so, I've always wondered what they'd be like with WP's... | |
| SHUNYATA power cords price increase Several of the mail order shops have announced this increase...it's across most of their line..the Hydra's too.. | |
| Tubed amps for WP7s For my WP 6.0's, I'm using a single BAT VK75SE. Love it... | |
| Has any body heard the Lyra SKALA? Early results are VERY VERY positive. Nothing went down. Better detail, wider deeper stage, more impact/dynamics in the midrange, sweeter top end, but just as extended. Better height and space around the instruments.Pretty much all around better. ... | |
| NOS Tubes: Store 'em or use 'em Everyone's wrong here. Just send the NOS 6sn7's to 5045 Charles Place. Plano, TX.This is the "official" address to send NOS 6922's and 6sn7's.You shouldn't keep these around your house... | |
| How do you clean XLR connectors? Photon's answer is good. I usually just use a q-tip as I always seem to run out of pipecleaners...I clean my connections every 6 months or so...really helps as you found out ! | |
| Has any body heard the Lyra SKALA? I've had 2 dealers tell me the Skala is wonderful. Adds the warmth and dynamics that the Helicon (I own one) seems to be light on, but keeps all the detail and extension.One dealer in Austin says it bests the Titan every so slightly, another deale... | |
| Stylus Force Guages - why extreme accuracy? I do VTA and VTF by ear. Use the gauges to get close. Ear for final dialing in.... | |
| "Best" audio rack for under $500.00? I used to have that Atlantis reference. You'll hear that difference over something basic. Fill the legs up with sand or lead shot or a combo. It's worth $500 or less...At the time I was running a Wadia 850, BAT VK 200, BAT VK50se, and Audio Physic... | |
| Esoteric X 03 Power Cord and Interconnect Recommen You have great equipment. The Esoteric's are killer. I love my DV50. For power and interconnects, the best you can get. Rowland gear seems to like Cardas. I've owned Golden Cross and Golden Reference, and liked the GR better.You might consider Pur... | |
| BAT VK-60 on WILSON WITT.....???? I don't know about the Witt's, but I used to run a single vk 60 with my Watt Puppy 6's. Sounded great. I've since updgraded to a vk75se. The BAT amps are great with Wilson's. Again, a general comment since I haven't heard the WITTs. The BAT vk 60'... | |
| Why shouldn't I bi-wire Wilson Watt/Puppies 6 Herman: No, there are 2 crossovers. The Watt (bass/mid and top) is inside the top section. The low bass to bass/mid is in the bottom section. The Watt's are full range speakers and sound great by themselves. The puppy's add the low end. And seroiu... | |
| Why shouldn't I bi-wire Wilson Watt/Puppies 6 The adapters ...not sure if Nordost makes them. Try going to AudioAdvisor.com, they should have something that will do it...several brands I'm sure... | |
| Why shouldn't I bi-wire Wilson Watt/Puppies 6 I have wp 6's. The issue is you by pass the crossover when done the way you are asking. You can run your Watts full range direct to your amps. The Watt's produce about 90% of the sound. The Puppies the low low bass only.Bi wiring the speakers this... |
