| Best preamp for Symphonic Line RG4 MK4 Jadis will have a warmer balance in the mids. This is a personal taste. You would have to hear both for yourself. | |
| Sony SCD XA5400ES tube rolling? Wig what is the Mac cable and how can you get it. | |
| Powercords $1000 that beat VH Audio cords I am using the Coincident power cords on all of my components. They improved every component. VAC PHI 300.1 and VAC SIG 2 preamp, Aesthetix Io Signature phono and Modright Sony Modded 5400ES. | |
| Want to buy a new projector. I think the picture on the Oppo 95 is great, but I am not crazy about the movie sound. The player is too lean and detailed for my taste. I like a more natural sound. Yes I am using HDMI not analog outputs. | |
| would the Sony SCD 5400 Ex make a good transport? No, but I doubt any new tube made today will compare with a new old stock tube from the 50-60's. | |
| would the Sony SCD 5400 Ex make a good transport? Podeschi you are in for a treat with the VAC gear. Sound improves as you put hours on them. I guarantee you will be buying a second Phi 300.1 for monoblocks in the future. I bought my tubes from a local guy that turned out to be a jerk. I have a f... | |
| Audio Research VT100 MKII retubing blew resistors I have a VAC PHI 300.1 amp and never have a problem changing tubes. I had one KT-88 go cherry red but it just took out the fuse. No resistors have ever blown. | |
| would the Sony SCD 5400 Ex make a good transport? Darrin you need to change tubes in the Sony and power supply to get its full potential. If you are looking for a more organic sound I would recommend the Sylvania 5692 made in the 50's, also RCA 6SN7 GTB. I would change the rectifier tube to a Mul... | |
| Berkeley Alpha vs Weiss 202 vs Ayre QB9 vs ? Suteetat thanks for sharing your information. I don't have to worry about those other units and feel that I am done with digital and very happy with my modright sony. | |
| Berkeley Alpha vs Weiss 202 vs Ayre QB9 vs ? I meant to say the Esoteric K-01 not the x-1 | |
| Berkeley Alpha vs Weiss 202 vs Ayre QB9 vs ? no never heard it | |
| Berkeley Alpha vs Weiss 202 vs Ayre QB9 vs ? Interesting I had the PB and thought that it did not have a very organic midrange. If it did I would have kept it because everything else about it was top notch. My modright modded Sony 5400ES is what I am using now and like it much better than th... | |
| Best preamp for Symphonic Line RG4 MK4 Atmasphere amps like a 6 or high ohm speaker. If your speaker is 4 ohms or dips lower I would not recommend an OTL. They do make an autotransformer, but at that point I would look at a good push pull tube amp. | |
| Are New Sony SCD XA5400es Players Still Available? Very interesting as a always found the Esoteric CD sound to be very thin, digital sounding and not my cup of tea. | |
| Best preamp for Symphonic Line RG4 MK4 Rfogel8's brother had the Symphonic Line RG-4's and tried the Symphonic Line Preamp. We thought the sound was very good, but the gain on the volume control was way too high. One little click from 0 and you were blasted with sound. No question the ... |
