| MR 74 tuner compatibility MR 74 and C-28 are fine compatability wise. Both SS and decent sounding. My Dad has the C-28 with the MR 71, but also has several Fisher tuners as well, all with no issues. Just wondering why you might feel there would be compatability issues? The... | |
| Are there ANY Plinius SA-250 MKIV owners around? Saltyflies,No need to apologize, but thanks.Im sure any given component may sound very different with other associated equipment.You only commented correctly on what you heard, no harm in that.Sutts-I definately agree with Saltyflies here. Run don... | |
| Are there ANY Plinius SA-250 MKIV owners around? Hi Sutts,I saw your previous post regarding the SA 250Mk1V vs. Bryston 14B SST, but because I own the SA 250(not Mk1V) and haven't heard the Brystons..I felt my comments would be of no use to you. I can only comment on the sound of my SA 250 amp a... | |
| Modern day equivalent of KEF 104.2s? Sonus Faber Grand Piano's come to mind. like the Kef's..a 4 ohm speaker but with better definition across the freq. range. and better imaging, smooth sounding speaker. I suggest a search and see what you come across. ;) | |
| Any superb balanced dacs up to $2,500 used?? Lousyreeds1 is right. I second the Electrocompaniet ECD-1. Steve Nugent of Empirical Audio does mods for these dacs. His assesment of the stock units sound is highly complimentary and pulls no punches as to its sound. It compares in stock form to ... | |
| What tubed preamp that is not too fussy ? Another vote for either the LS-7 or PV-10. The LS 1 or 3 are closer to your price range however and they are good line stages for the price.:) | |
| Plinius SA250 or Gamut D200 As a Plinius SA 250 owner, I can give you my opinion of it. I upgraded from the SA 100 MkII to the 250 about a month ago. It is easliy the finest amp I have had and heard to date, and that includes some very good tube amps as well.Here are some of... | |
| Power cord suggestions to improve cd playback Most of the Electroglides are excellent for digital. Also very good at at better price is the Shunyata Black Mamba v1 or v2. | |
| Von Schweikert "rear ambiance driver" revisited Rob,Agree. I found that after break-in the rear ambience tweeter really seemed to open up the soundstage, but at the expense of slight bright or forward presentation. I felt that the VR2 is a forward sounding speaker anyway, which is not a bad thi... | |
| Tubes for the BAT VK5i I was able to get all my NOS tubes here on Agon from various buyers. The best tubes were from "fat_cat"..Mike should be able to help you. Also "sam1104" talk to Sam. "Guidosmalibu" talk to Vassil. and "zkid" Bob sometimes has nice 6L6's avail. The... | |
| Newburgh, New York I use to live in Wallkill years ago. If I were still up there Id love that! Signed...Moved to Atlanta with regrets. | |
| Tubes for the BAT VK5i Indeed time.. The bass on the 5i should be anything but light. One of the best attributes of the 5i was its bass. As a former owner, I found the combination of Seimens 7308 gold Pins in the 6( 3 per side) gain stage tubes and the AC shunt 6922(out... | |
| Stand for VPI Scout Red2 has some good points and good advice.I just had a 20x30 inch piece of granite cut and polished as the base for my Aries to sit on..According to the maker, granite is much better than even marble for isolation and resonance control. I use a Pl... | |
| JMW9/Dynavector 17D2 setup Joe, You need a lighter counterweight due to the diff in cart weight.Call VPI and they will exchange the one you have for a nice drop lightweight( they took my reg. weight and exchanged at N/C!!)Give them a call back and they will send it out pron... | |
| How much does your system retail for? Hey Doug...did you figure in the Triplaner..That should put you over the top, no? |
