| Questions for BAT VK-75SE owners Well, I didn't know that. And I have RCA 5692's in that spot. I've had one fail over a year and a half...not bad average...about the same as the sovteks I had in my vk60's...That's for the info though. | |
| Shanyata Hydra 8 vs Transparent Power Iso 14? Since you're using all transparent cable, i'd stick in their line-up. Although you may be able to better it, it'll be a crap shoot keeping everything in balance. I found I could get better at one thing or another (and btw, one or two things worse)... | |
| Shanyata Hydra 8 vs Transparent Power Iso 14? Well, I have compared a Transparent PIXL with Trans Ref XL cord to a Shunyata Original Hydra w/a Python cord to Hydra and either the Transparent cord to preamp or kimber palladian to pre.Other thing to disclose is I run all Trans Ref interconnects... | |
| Original Hydra- Help needed -Female twist lock I think that is a standard plug type for 220v. Any electrical supply or likely Home depot has it... | |
| Favorite Music When Having Sex Who cares about the music at this point? Now if the post would say, fav music to get her in the mood...then I'd respond. I will say, this is one time that my digital is on and my analog is off. I don't wanna be flippin some lp. I have better thing... | |
| Recommendations for Composite Video Cable? I don't know if it will make much of a differance. Transparent, Monster and others make these. I own Transparent on my component video connects and it makes a HUGE difference. Sorry I can't be more help. | |
| Shunyata Black Mamba V2 discontinued? gone, replaced with a new filled version of the tiapan. unsure what/if they sound different... | |
| Possible move to tubes… help direct me The bat VK60, SE or vk 75 are all super choices. The 75 goes from 60w to 75 per channel. I'd expect much better midrange warmth, depth, air, images. Your pass might be better on the tightness on the bottom end. Usual things for ss vs tubes.The BAT... | |
| Anybody using a Power Conditioner with Wadia 861 I used to have a Wadia 850. Powercords made some improvements. I used a Electraglide and a Transparent. If you want to keep things simple, try a good power cord.++++++++++Just looked at your system page. Are you using the synergistic cords on the ... | |
| Are smaller high end speakers really better If you think the Sonus Faber is fatiguing, I'd have to wonder about the source and amplification upstream compared to you Boston Accoustics. Sometimes, better equipment/speakers reveals flaws. Like putting a magnifying glass on things. They look f... | |
| which is your opinion about the new Halcro preamp? I heard it briefly, for a hour or so. LP's only. The DM10 through the Halcro monoblocks (not sure the model) Wilson Maxx's, SME 10 table, Lyra Helikon cartridge. Trans Ref cabling.All I can say is wow. Most quiet thing I've ever heard (or not). I'... | |
| What to match with Watt Puppy 5's sorry, I think I deleted my post, so hope this doesn't get posted twice...Personally, I'd run a good tube amp. Helps flesh things out a bit and keep the top end tamed. I'm running wp 6's with trans ref cabling. Using a BAT vk75se. For you, VTL's m... | |
| Speaker Suggestions for ARC VT100 Used Audio Physic Virgo's are one good idea. about $2500 used. Good match and plenty of power for your room size...Not the last word in bass extension, so hope you're not into pipe organs, but great detail, imaging, tonality. Bass is extremely det... | |
| Balanced XLR Turntable / Tonearm I'm running a din to XLR Hovland cable into a BAT VKP10SE phono stage. The XLR termination did take some noise out vs the RCA termination. I have both inputs on my phono stage. It helps.I think the Aesthex Io, the Ayre, Atmas-Sphere are other exam... | |
| Results of Installing "Porter Ports" in system... Great Review ! I had similar experiences. For such a reasonable price, it made a big improvement in my setup. Well worth it. |
