| Tube Amp Suggestions How big is your room? I had a pair of Audio Physic Virgo II's in a 18x24 room with a BAT vk60. It sounded great. You can get the VK60 for around 16-1800 used. If you can go for a vk75 or 75se for a little more, than even better. I think the 75se i... | |
| Mana Soundbases This might be a expensive solution, but Arcici Suspense stands work well with floor born vibrations.www.arcici.netMy system is on a 2nd floor with suspended wood flooring. Works great for me.Good luck. | |
| How good is Muse 11 universal player? Your welcome, I'm not as concerned about the reviews as much as you just don't see anything on the 11. Nothing here or at Audio Asylum. The Esoteric has plenty of feeback-most prety darn postive. Good luck to you... | |
| Is it worth spending $10k on CD-only player today? Spending 10k on a redbook cd player only would be very very hard for me. Unless it just sounds killer and can beat something like a Esoteric UX-1 which does all.I just bought a Esoteric DV 50 ($5500 new) SACD-DVD-DVD-a and I have to say I'm pretty... | |
| Audio out of sync with video DVD Check out your menu's on your DVD player. Mine has the ability to delay things if this happens. Your Rotel might to??? Are you using progressive scan? This might, might, cause things to slow down some as the processing is done...I'm not a expert o... | |
| What's under your Classe Omega, or other big amp? I've tried ton's of things under my BAT VK75se. Home made maple stand, then with Symposium Roller blocks, DH Super cones and squares.What worked best was a custom made Sound Anchor Stand. Really cleaned up the sound (more detail-focus), lowered th... | |

| How good is Muse 11 universal player? Hey, we sent a few emails back and forth regarding a Muse 9 sig. Which we both owned. Anyway, I sold my 9 sig a year or so ago and just bought a DV50. I can say, the DV50 is much superior to the 9 sig in redbook. I've never heard deatail, air, spa... | |
| Best Tweak??? Putting a Symposium Ultra shelf under my TT. Had no idea the improvement!Best for the $$'s...PorterPorts. | |
| Where do I go from here, keep it clean Nrchy: on the Benz upgrade program, call one of the mail order houses and get some initial prices. Music Direct is one to try. (1.800.449.8333) Several others out there as well.re: the porterports vs PS audio. In my system, it was dramatic. You'll... | |
| Where do I go from here, keep it clean Well, you have a pretty great system as is! I'd agree front end is the place to update. What about the Glider? It's a good cartridge for the $$'s, but stepping up in the Benz line or going for something different will be worthwhile. Also, I'm assu... | |
| DV-50 Owners - a question, please It's depends. On the menuing system, you can select on or off for digital out. If it's on, you're ok. If not, time to hook up a TV.Sorry, I don't know the default setting. Maybe someone else can help... | |

| power cord replacement...source or amp first? Anytime you can improve the source, everything downstream benefits. However, in this hobby, the rule of thumb isn't always perfect...Try both cords on both and see what synergistically sounds better.... | |
| Tube preamp, Leave On Always or ON/OFF? I'd turn it off. Wastes tube life. However, some tube preamps run the tubes at very low power, so that can litterally last a long time. Some questions to ask yourself, do you notice a difference in sound quality if left on for days at a time? Or a... |
