| VAC Signature 2a Preamp Question Huh, I turn the VAC logo off on my Sigma 160i. I find it a bit ostentatious. Different strokes for different folks I suppose. Hum away!!Wait...can't the amps go on separate amp stands by each speaker? | |
| Cable Evolution Share what cables you own along with their pricesWhy? Are we playing I'll show you mine if you show me yours? Since price and performance are unrelated, what is the point? | |
| VAC Signature 2a Preamp Question The phono stage uses additional tubes plus the line stage tubes. So you could have more tube noise. That said, did you buy new, or a used unit? How many hours on the 6 12AX7 phono tubes?I would contact VAC, Kevin and Brent have always been very he... | |

| Budget Power Cords, which brand to choose? I know they may be older than some of the current cords that you have mentioned, but I find that Elrod EPS-2/3 Signature cords can still beat out anything I've had in my system less than $1K second hand prices. You can find them in the $400-$650 r... | |
| moving coil output voltage for cary slp-98 I have owned a Cary SLP-98P with MC phono stage and it had plenty of gain for my Dynavector XX-2 mkII cartridge's 0.28 mV output. As Brf correctly notes, the 20dB step up transformers bring the Cary's gain to 55 dB, which adding the 20dB in the li... | |
| VAC 160iSE integrated with NOLA speakers Thanks Fplanner2000, I am probably going to go that route. Since I also like the black faceplate with gold knobs combo that I currently have. It would make it even harder to find a SE for sale that has that black/gold combination. Also, as you men... | |
| VAC 160iSE integrated with NOLA speakers Dan (Ballhog), were you able to compare them side by side? It doesn't sound like you did.Did you buy the SE new or used? I think I bought your old 160i Dan.I'm considering the SE upgrade later this year, but I haven't decided whether to look for a... |
