| Tube pre-amps: turn off when not in use? I turn mine off when not in use. Have you seen the price of NOS 6H30's? At $200/pop, it'll cost you $800 to re-tube your VK-31SE with them. | |
| How many us a Line Conditioner with a Big SS Amp Thanks for sharing your experiences. So you didn't try the Jaco on your amps then, correct?FWIW, I've never heard the Jaco. I've had the RSA Duke w/ Mongoose, as yes the RSA products come with a cord, so this is makes comparisons difficult because... | |
| To Mod Denon DVD-5900 or not? cuttingedge168@hotmail.com, if indeed that is your real name, do you mind if I call you ce168@h.c for short?I think I know what you're asking. Since I currently own two highly modded players, I guess I would recommend you look for a used modded pl... | |
| BAT to BAT - What's Best? Jim, nothing to be ashamed of, I wish I had your discipline. Many times I've found out that better isn't better after all.....it's just different.FWIW, I would be surprised if you found the VAC Renaissance MK II superior. I had one and wasn't over... | |
| Wife/girlfriend or audio: if you had to chose? ROTFLMAO!! | |
| Cardas or Virtual Dynamics power cords? Opinions? Well I know Ayre likes Cardas cables, so there maybe some synergy there, I do not know. In my non-Ayre system, I prefer the Virtual Dynamics. However, I have not heard the David series. I'm only familiar with the Nite/Master/Revelation series.John | |
| To Mod Denon DVD-5900 or not? Well I would say that you don't see modded Denon 5900's because the mod fad is relatively new. It has been picking up steam, but really only goes back a year or so. I know that mod companies have always been out there, but the Denon line really on... | |
| Wife/girlfriend or audio: if you had to chose? 01-10-07: Joeylawn36111But the main reason I am single is I refuse to play the social game. I stay home and play music and use the computer every night. I have no interest whatsoever in 'going out'. I don't care anymore.Well that explains a lot. Y... | |
| BAT to BAT - What's Best? 01-10-07: BrianmgrarcomHeck I give you credit for still having them same gear over 2 years later!LOL Brian, I was thinking the same thing. It's not easy staying that focused and disciplined on AudiogoN, you are to be congratulated Jim. There has t... | |
| Wife/girlfriend or audio: if you had to chose? 01-09-07: Joeylawn36111Freemand, while I do agree with what you are saying, just remember that it may not be possible to get a wife/family, while buying a stereo system is....Ummm, I don't get it, let's go through this one more time....how is it n... | |
| Stiff power cords are frustrating Pick the cord that sounds best, if its stiff, then pre-bend it into shape. I've found that this works great. Don't struggle with it, look at how you want it to go, then pre-bend it, then put it into place. I've had the VD Nite, Master and Revelati... | |
| Shouldn't the Bass be felt? Duh Everyone has their own niche of good sound. Sure, you have your bass freaks, your resolution freaks, your musical freaks, your detail (high's) freaks, your soundstage freaks, your imaging freaks, your midrange freaks, your speed freaks......well y... | |
| what are some of the best amplifiers Forte are some excellent amps for the $$$. For clarification, the Model 4(a) is MUCH better than the Model 6, gotta love the pure Class A bias. However, in overall terms the old Threshold's are better, no doubt about it.If just naming some classic... | |
| Tubed pre to go with Aragon 8008BB Audio Horizons TP 2.0 would be the one to beat IMHO. Try one, with their Money Back Guarantee you have nothing to lose.John | |
| cartridge Benz, Koestu, Lyra Jeff,Yes, that should be plenty of gain.John |
