| What do folks use to clean cables/connections? I like Kontak. It's pricey...like $40 a bottle...but I can hear a difference.Good luck. | |
| Best Balanced DVD/CD players to audition Have to add the Esoteric's to this list... | |
| Turntable in $2500-3500 range for SME IV.Vi arm ? Why not a SME 10 Table? It's killer with that arm. Occasionally you'll see a SME 20/2 armless for about 5k. If you could stretch then your pretty much set for life ! | |
| Which Tube Pre for 5K? Good list...but the BAT 51SE just can't be beat used at around 5k. | |
| Best Temporary Record Cleaning Options the best thing I've found for under $50 is a can of primier record cleaner and a carbon fibre brush. See amusicdirect.com for more info...Of course my VPI does a better job with RRL fluids...but given your criteria...this is a great option. | |
| Symposium 'Fat Padz' and SS amps Since those photo's were posted, I now have another Ultra under my phono stage and svelt and regular padz under my digital.Basically, with the sysposium stuff I usually here a good lowering of the noise floor...which allows deatails and dynamics t... | |
| Symposium 'Fat Padz' and SS amps I've tried the FatPadz under my BAT VK75SE. About 75 lbs or so. I love the symposium stuff. Have two ultra shelves and one svelte. I didn't like the padz under my amp. Lost the warmth. I like them best used as footers in between the shelves...YMMV... | |
| Best phono pre amp for Lyra Helikon My Helikon works great with a BAT VKP10SE. Don't know your price range or exactly what type of sound your after. Assuming your classe amps and pre are balanced...this may yield a small improvment in performance. | |
| Good power cord vs Killer power cord? NSgarch, that's about as thoughtful of a understanding of power cords that I've ever read. Thanks | |
| Question for BAT 6H30 tube owners Mikesinger: What's the diff with the r version?? I didn't see the 6h30's on their website call em?I retubed my vk50 se after 3.5 years of use. Could hardly tell a differnce. The original tubes were still going strong I suppose. I did buy my replac... | |
| which amp to upgrade my Levinson 383/39/WattPuppy6 You might also add a the BAT integrated to your list. It has a tube preamp stage with SS amp stage. I think this will give you the bottom end slam and weight you seem to desire.The 6h30 tube version, the tubes should last 3-4 years, and when it's ... | |
| Audio Physic Virgo II - subwoofer recommendations? I used to own your Virgo's. In some ways I still miss them. Heard the newer AP's at my dealer recently and that memory came rushing back.Personally, I wouldn't do anything to mess up that sound. I'd wait until one of the AP subs shows up.Good luck. | |

| Seeking Cartridge for SME 20/2 TT & SME V arm Part of this depends also on your phono stage. What is it?I'm using a Lyra Helikon on my 20/2 IV.Vi arm. I love it. I've heard plenty of synergistic comments on the Dyna XV-1s as mentioned above. The Helikon maybe kinda of close in performance to ... | |
| Remote Controlled Phase Reversal Switch All of the current model Balanced Audio Tech preamps have this...with the exception of the vk3 series |
