| How many tube watts for Vandersteen 2's? I also heard the Vandy's at AudioConnection in Verona played by John Rutan! One of the best sounds in a dealer showroom I have EVER heard. Played a Terry Evans CD that just sounded so alive. | |

Onkyo and others?? thx for the info ... the HRT looks interesting but I wish they would have made it a dock rather than something which connectes to the ipod via a cable. the price is very attractive for something including a DAC though. for my purposes, a dock that... | |

| Question about Spectral DMA-180 Power tube yep no tubes in any Spectral gear I am aware of and certainly NOT in the DMA-180 in question ... I suppose you COULD drop any tube that would fit inside the chassis though :) | |
| Can you identify these components? if the rack says SolidSteel that is the brand ... they originally made motorcycle frames I beleive ... SolidSteel racks are more expensive than most of the Target racksany closer pics of the CD player??? very hard to tellthe tuner could be an FT-1... | |

| Alon/Nola sound if the store where you were having this discussion is not an Alon/Nola dealer it does not surprise me in the least ... audio salespeople LOVE to criticize gear they do not sell. if they do not represent the line, it cannot be any good | |
