| transport recommendations I have a CEC TL-1X and like it a lot, but have had spotty success using CD-Rs ... works most of the time, not all of the time. As a transport it is outstanding! | |
| Tube Amp Choices I own and use BAT VK-60s ... wonderful amps! I have not heard the VK-75s as of yet as I have no inclination to change ... 60s can be had for a nice price here on audiogon and are built to last! | |
| Balanced Passive ""Preamps"--any recommendations? My experence has been that passive pre-amps have an alluring quality of resolution, but, lack the dynamics of live music, hence, lack the "toe-tapping" quality I enjoy. I would suggest re-auditioning a powered pre-amp in your system. (Just my two ... | |
| speaker comparison Have you thought of auditioning Vandersteen 2's or 3's? | |
| Its all in the DAC? The better the transport, and the less the DAC has to worry about jitter, the better the DAC can do its job. They are both important ... but if I was upgrading one at a time, I would do the DAC first. | |
| Vandersteen3asig pre BATVK5i , whats the best amp My Vandersteen 5s respond well to tube amplification (BAT VK-60 monoblocks). Good Luck! Joe | |

| need input about speaker & interconnect cables I have had good luck with transparent cables ... to me ... they are closest to the music. Good Listning!! | |
| Preamp is an amplifier too, right??? Funny, I never thought of it until reading this post, but I guess that is why it is called a (pre)amplifier! I like days when I a lightbulb goes on in my head (Lord knows there are not enough of them!) Good Listening!! :-) | |
| Which cables to get? Is it possible that cables will not address the issues with your tuner? It may be that it is malfunctioning? | |
| Yoiks, I'm amplifier confused. I think the budget would allow for a BAT VK-60 ... they are extremely musical ... | |
| Newbie needs cabling HELP. I would also audition Transparent cables ... to me, they are the closest thing to real music. Good listening!! | |
| What cables would you recommend? I continue to have great success with Transparent cables ... they are the most musical I have encountered. Too often we attribute "openess" or "detail" to certain components, including cables. When we hear un-amplified live music (as in a symphony... |
