| Is Lyra Helikon too analytical? I haven't heard of a hp downgrade. He's lushed over it for 2 years now. Lyra does have a new cartridge out, the titan, suppposed to be all/more the detail of the helikon with more warmth. It's pricey around $4500. I have a good friend who used the... | |
| Aesthetix Saturn Series? No, but I heard the Rhea phono stage. Pretty darn good next to my bat vkp10se. much better detail, bigger stage, more defined bass... | |
| BAT VK75SE buzz and humming ?? help.. If a output tube fuse is blown, it will work, and it will increase the hum considerably. Also a channel should have less power-like 1/2. If one in each channel is blown, it will still have balanced sound-but with lot's of noise and basically sound... | |
| BAT VK75SE buzz and humming ?? help.. you didn't buy the wrong amp...that's one of the best. somethings up...bad tube, bad component...ground loop... | |
| BAT VK75SE buzz and humming ?? help.. how loud is the buzz, on my 75se I have it, but much past 2-3 feet away I can't hear it....low level...I'd call BAT...post what you find out please. Thanks | |
| Aesthetix Question The P10SE update is a major revision. I did it about a year ago. Much bigger stage, more depth, more quiet background which brings out the decays and details. The bass and richness of the sound is really a big step forward from the p10. For 2k, it... | |
| Aesthetix Question I've been wanting to take my BAT VKp10se over to Albert's house to compare to his IO Sig. I did listen to a Aesthetix Rhea in my system vs the BAT phono. The Rhea was quieter, better detail, the bat better decays, fuller images, more guts I'd say.... | |
| transparent reference balanced vs. reference xl ba I own all transparent ref with xl. I've heard the nex step up and you can definately hear it. Also, Transparent has a new line up. You can tell it becuase it has rounded sculpted network boxes, not rectangles. It's really a big improvement, not th... | |
| How can I safely remove Optrix from my CDs? mshan, if you find out, let me know. I have about 150 cd's with the same clouding from optrix... | |
| Please evaluate the Lyra Helicon phono cartridge The simple answer is it's one of the best value's in a top end cartridge. Excellent all around. A little finicky on setup. I love mine.... | |
| Can you warm up your tube amp ... I thought tube amps need a load on the speaker terminals, w/o it can cause harm. I am NOT a expert here.... | |
| Phono interconnect recommendation? I've tried 3 cables. The Vandenhel, the Graham IC50 and now the Hovland series 2. The Hovland did it for best for me. The graham was a little lighter in tonal balance, but great detail still and great bass. The vandenhul was the bottom of the list. | |
| Can the BAT VK - 150SE's Drive B&W 803's? Well, it's sensitive. Right now, I have it on DH Jumbo cones and squares on a home made amp stand. I've had it on symposium rollerblocks, big improvement, but the rollerblocks make a bigger dif. on my bat phono stage. I'll likely try a Symposium s... | |
| Can the BAT VK - 150SE's Drive B&W 803's? I have a VK75SE driving Wilsons watt puppy 6's. drive the heck out of them. I know your B&w's are not as effecicent, but I 2nd the comment above.However, I don't think the VK75SE is bright. It's pretty nuetral for a tube amp. Very solid bass, ... | |
| What's under YOUR turntable? symposium point pods and a arcici suspense rack. SME 20/2 table. Those point pods make a amazing improvement! |
