| phono cable I'd just try both that you have. Listen to them for several hours (or week or two) before you make a decision. Cables can settle down and smooth out (for the better usually) after some music flows through them.Then I'd try something purpose made, ... | |
| phono noise Unplug your CD and digital gear to. While that likely won't be the cause of your issue above, it will lower your noise floor somewhat... | |
| Speakers for BAT VK 75SE I used to have a pair on Audio Physic Virgos with a BAT vk60. (I have a vk75se now). Same size room as yours. I listen to the same music...loved those Virgo's. Not sure your budget...but used they are around $2500. | |
| Need advice with a phono stage for my BAT VK-50... Sidssp: The Rhea has much wider stage, little better depth, better detail. Everything else equal. I could go on, but that's the net. I think I like the Rhea better, but I think I'll hold off and go for a Io Sig one day soon (I hope)! If I go with ... | |
| Need advice with a phono stage for my BAT VK-50... FYI, the VK50 won't take BAT's phono cards. It's only for their other preamps, not the 50, 50se or 51se. I had a VK50se now it's a 51se. I've used a BAT VKp5, p10, p10se (have now) as well as a Aestheitix Rhea. For the money, the BAT VKp5 is a ste... | |
| Regarding people selling equipment to U.S.A. only I've bought and sold several things to Cananda, Australia and Japan. Mostly cables, tubes, and asssories. All been pretty straitforward to me. As long as the other person pays in US$ and covers shipping..it's not that big of a deal. | |
| Questions about retubing BAT VK-75SE I ended up not using triples. Went with matched pairs, but use one pair on the left moost 6sn7 spot for the left channel, then the other matching on the left spot for the right channel, then the next matched pair in the 2 middle 6sn7 spots and so ... | |
| Questions about retubing BAT VK-75SE yes, they do. However, you can change the sound slightly with new 6sn7's and the tube next to the 6h30s'. I used RCA 6sn7's and it's softens and sweetens the hights somewhat.Matching is important on the 6sn7's, as the are part of a balanced gain s... | |
| Are Wilson speakers As a Watt/puppy 6 owner, I can say they are a very difficult speaker to get right. Part of the problem is they are so damned revealing of everything. Placement and room treatment being a very big issue. Part of what you are hearing is like resolut... | |
| Cables for Hales, Classe, & Wadia 2nd the cardas recommendation. years ago, I had a Wadia, classe amp and hales. All cardas golden cross. I might try the golden reference if I had the same setup today. Fyi, it's a great setup you have! Be sure to use power cords as well on both th... | |
| Shelter 90x vs 901 / Graham arm I'm in Tokyo right now on business. I went to a shelter dealer here. He claims he can not sell me a 90x. He has several 901's in stock. I have to admit, our language skills are not the best. But, I think your argument about the 90x being a US mode... | |
| Help Audiophile jcfrech stuck in Tokyo-for ... Thanks Jeff !I did go listen to a few cartridges. The initial price's on Koetsu's were not that special. I haven't asked about Shelter's yet. But I need to check into it. I bet there is some room for negotiation... | |
| Is your turntable spinning while you clamp down? I'd be more worried about damaging a LP than the switch. It should be made for the on/off duty. As far as the motor, it'll likely last longer than you. | |
| Questions for BAT VK-75SE owners Hi, I haven't tried the EH in the 6sn7 spots...sorry | |
| Questions for BAT VK-75SE owners 4 fun, I put my Sovtek 6sn7's back in this morning. Took the RCA's out. Sovtek's have more dynamics, more highlighting, more bite. It's subtle. Highes a little sweeter, more relaxed with the RCA's. I'll likely put em back in...not as much of a dif... |
