| PAD Venustas I currently own Venustas interconnect between my preamp and amp. Also, my tonearm and phono stage. Opis between my cd and pre. Dominus speaker cables and AC cords.The Venustas trashed my previous Transparent Ref w/XL. 1/2 the price too (list). Lit... | |
| Bat 150 SE replacing 6C33-B power tubes problems I have RCA red base 5692's in the 6sn7 spots in my 75se. Much sweeter sound. Also I replaced the 6v6, but can't remember the actual tube.Good luck ! | |
| Bat 150 SE replacing 6C33-B power tubes problems Were the sparks internal to the tubes or inside the amp? Something might be wrong with the amp. Anyway, when I change the 6c33 b tubes on my vk75se, it does take a little breakin on the tubes...not much...like a few days. And I don't notice a very... | |
| Isolation platform for my Esoteric DV-50S My Symposium Svelte with Fatpadz is amazing. I like the Symposium Ultra I have even better. Best I've found under my DV50 | |
| pick me a cd player please-3k to 4k budget Care about multi format or DVD? The Esoteric DV50s is a steal used at about 3k. Beat my Wadia 850 (unmodded). | |
| BAT VK-200 Burn-in time? I used to have a vk 200 before I went to the BAT tube amps. You have a great amp. Say about 200 hours playing hard. I also used to leave mine on almost continuously. It seems to sound better after a hour of warm up...then another small notch after... | |
| Can Audio Physics be run on low power tubes? I used to use Virgo II's with a BAT VK 60. 60 watts per side. It was super. Amazing system. I have Watt Puppies now...but those Virgo's were a special speaker... | |
| Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ???? Albert has a fair point. He's listened to the normal fuse, ceramic fuse, and the $25 fuse. He can hear a difference. Timrhu asked "pile one" So seem like his request was granted!I think the main point here is, you can't really question someone who... | |
| SOTA Nova vs SME 20/2 I own a SME 20/2. I wish I could offer advice on comparions to SOTA's for you. I love my SME 20/2. I've owned for 4 years now. I have 2 friends that both own Walker's. Of course the Walker is better, but I really have a killer system and my friend... | |
| Bat VK-31SE vs. 51SE. Sonic differences? Well...great system! I don't like to give direct advice, but the 51SE will stay in you system as a corner stone for years to come. Given what you are saying, it's the choice. I've heard the Calypso to...similar findings-it's a steal for the $$'s, ... | |
| Bat VK-31SE vs. 51SE. Sonic differences? Hi, I had a 31se in my system while my 50se was getting upgraded to a 51se. The 31SE hand down beat the 50se. The 51SE is similar to what flyski says above, however, I'll take it a few steps farther... I think it is deeper and more extended in the... | |
| Lyra Skala - Has anyone heard this yet? I'll add dynamics to your leaness list. I am not sure this cartridge is widely available yet. I'm also curious if the Titan i is still significantly better... | |
| Which is more important, spkr. or intrc. cable? I'd say interconnect from source to pre #1. Speaker cable #2 then #3 interconnect from pre to amp. Power cords #4.However, they are all important. Any weak link. Plus system matching comes into play... | |
| Helikon LOADING Now...all of this is dependent on everything else! Makes it easy huh? VTA, VTF, overhand etc can all effect the sound...rather dramatically at times. Sometimes, I'll make a change in one of these, and think I need to back out the loading.Anyway, g... | |
| Helikon LOADING I'm at 1k on my BAT vkp10SE superpak. Sounds gorgeous to me ! I arrived here via expiramentation...next setting down to dull...47k to bright. |
