| BAT or ARC I just did a 50se to 51se update. Wow. It's real big. Much much better resolution, much deeper bass, tighter bass, more depth, airier-sweeter top end. I loved my 50se, but this is a steal for $1300. Takes about 2 weeks to breakin.This looses the s... | |
| Crackle from tube preamp sounds like a tube. unplug the unit. swap the left and right channel tubes. If the crackling sound moves, you know it's in one of those tubes. Then, unplug it again, start substititing tubes in that offending channel until you find the one thats m... | |
| Out of Phase? I swear some parts of recordings are out phase, the rest in...I have one record, The Firm, that I think the bass guitar is out...the rest is in. The phase switch fixes the bass, messes the rest up. | |
| rowland 302 v. krell 400..VTL preamp v. BATVK51SE Hey, if you have brand new equipment, JFZ is right. Hold off for a month or two before making any changes. If you WP 7's are new...give it 90 days. Things will open up if not broken in... | |
| rowland 302 v. krell 400..VTL preamp v. BATVK51SE Your BAT preamp is not a problem. Read the stereophile review from about 3-4 months ago. They compared the 51se to the VTL. He says they are about 90% the same, BAT slightly favored...but it's a system matching thing. With your set up now, it's th... | |
| ++++Virgo II Owners++++ I had Virgo's for 4 years. The Watt/Puppy six made me upgrade. much much more resolution, better dynamics, imaging slightly better, much more articulate and deeper bass...The Virgo is a great speaker for the $$'s. You can do better, but the price/... | |
| How do I know when my Lyra Helikon is 'worn out' ? Umm it's worn out now. Mine is to. We both need the new Titan.Jonathon Carr has a few posts on Audioasylum in the vinyl section. (he's the maker/importer or something to that effect) Anyway, he makes a comment that says how you lower the stylus on... | |
| Muse Model 11 Universal? I had a muse model 9 sig for a few years. It was a pretty darn good sounding red book cd player. slightly bested my wadia 850, plus had a killer dvd video picture. bettered only by things like meridian 596. | |
| Can anyone who has tried Vinyl-zyme recommend it? I have used a product called "premier" a couple of times on real hard to clean discs. Costs about $20 a can. Seems to do things that RR can't quite get. It's some sort of "safe for the ozone" chemical that evaporates in nanoseconds.Another alterna... | |
| What speakers for BAT VK-75, 75SE or ARC VT-100s I'm running Wilson Watt Puppy 6's with my 75se. See system posted on audiogon. Great sound for the $$'s. | |
| Graham 2.2 tonearm cables I had a Graham IC 50 running it on a SME 20/2 with SME IV.Vi arm. Before the Graham, I had a Van den Hul silver cable of some sort. The Graham was much more detailed, more quiet, a definite upgrade. However, there was a thinness in the mids. I onl... | |
| What's the best way to clean vacuum tube pins? Dweeler, I bought something from Audio Advisor called socket savers. 2 cool little nylon brushes that work perfectly for cleaning 6922 tube sockets and larger things like xlr sockets and power tubes....I've used them for several years now... | |
| Cyro'd Outlets - Need strong hold on Elrods Try Albert's Porterports. They grip increadibly well, I have some difficult cords to hold (like my FIM). Besides, it's one the best outlets around... | |
| Battle of the BAT's, VK-60 vs. VK-220 I think the vk60 to vk60se is about 2k...maybe $2500. I just has my vk50se preamp upgraded to a vk51se for $1300. It was definately worth it. Ditto when I traded my vk60 in for a vk75se. Paid a extra 4K to get a new one. The 75se and 60se are clos... | |
