| Wilson WP7 vs JM Lab Alto BE vs Avalon Eidolon The ports in the WP's mid tweeter (the WATT part) section are removable aluminum collars. One is tuned for a high power ss amp, the other is for tube amps with a lower damping factor. The result is, you can tailor the sound somewhat to the type of... | |
| Tubes for the BAT VK5i Well, you could upgrade the unit to 5se. The 6h30 tubes and better power supply (instead of 6922) will definately improve the bass, detail, resolution, soundstaging substantially. I recently upgraded my 50se to 51se and that's exactly what it did.... | |
| BAT VK75 / VK75SE Question I'll echo all the comments above. I went from a VK60 to a vk75se, it's a huge difference in the bass, the highs, detail etc. The whole input section is different, not just 6sn7 vs 6h30.It's easily heard. Get the 75se now. You may not want another ... | |
| speakers with BAT Sorry, don't have any experience with the older WP's. And yes, the VK60 drove the Virgo's incredibly well. I also used a VK200 on the virgo's. I like the VK60 better. But again, the VK200 had better bass control. Everything else, the VK60 did better. | |
| speakers with BAT Hello. I used to have a VK60 driving a pair of WP 6's. I recently went to a VK75SE. The VK60 can drive the Wilson's pretty good. The midrange is incredible, ditto for highs, soundstaging, depth etc. The bass isn't as tight as a higher powered soli... | |
| Jazz for relaxation Another good one is brad melhdau (sp?) Art of the trio. | |
| Muse model 9 sig CD player how good? I owned a 9 sig for about 3 years. It was a generation 3 unit. I miss it. I should have never sold it. It replaced a Wadia 850. I like the Muse better.The muse will compete with the Meridian. Make sure you get the Signature version. It has a much ... | |
| Review: Wilson Audio X-2 Alexandria Speaker Wow, what a review. Makes me want to upgrade from my WP 6's! But sounds like the most important thing is your wife. Wow, how lucky are you to have such a woman!Question, I'm using Transparent Ref cables. How much better are the Opus MM's? I could ... | |
| Wanted opinions on the new Transparent "MM" Mdishler...on the cables, I'd have something like 300 hours on them before really listening. This is a real possibility on why you heard what you did. Especially certain things like midrange over emphasized and top end rolled off. Those are classi... | |
| Wanted opinions on the new Transparent "MM" One more thing, are you sure the MM cable were fully broken in compared to your XL versions? This can have a dramatic effect on cables of this caliber and the systems it's usually paired with.Can you comment on both my posts? Thanks! | |
| Wanted opinions on the new Transparent "MM" Ok, this was a year or so ago. But I was at a party at my dealer. The Transparent rep was with there demo'ing Super xl vs Super MM. Less than perfect conditions, arcam cd player, Marantz reciever, and Wilson Sophia's. But the Super MM has a little... | |
| BAT VK 75SE & BAT VK 51SE & Cremonas speakers. I heard the Sonus Faber Ceromas and with a Teac Esoteric DV50, BAT vk31se and BAT vk250se yesterday at my dealer. I'm considering the DV50 for myself. I own your amp and pre and use Trans Ref xl cables myself.Anyway, his system with the Sonus Fabe... | |
| Nat Cole's "Love is the Thing" on Groove Note I rec'd the Groove Note Nat King Cole today. I've only listened to one side. It's pretty darn good. Right up there with the rest of the Groove Notes. Some of the violins are spooky in their realism...It's worth $29. | |
| Nat Cole's "Love is the Thing" on Groove Note I just bought one yesterday. It won't get here for a few days. I will say though that I own 5 or 6 groove note lp's. All of them are among the best recordings I have. I highly recommend the label. Highly. | |
| Curious. Kimber Palladian Power Cord. It's a standing wave guide. Does that help? Take the price up what 700-$800 from the models with out the "thing". You don't want waves standing around, come on, you're that smart.Seriously, I don't know, but I have one of these, and I've also own ... |
