| BAT VK 5i and tubes, how to chosse? Would like to update here as I have listened to the Sylvania 6L6GC in the BAT..First of all, Its BIG..Very big. You will have to go topless with this 6L6 as the cover wont fit back on..So you'll have a BAT convertible! This was what I thought migh... | |
| Should I replace ARC D130 for Bryston 4B-ST? I cant speak for the Bryston pre amp, but think that the 4B-ST will give you the "kick" your looking for with the SF's. I have owned several ARC SS amps and have found all to be very good, decent in the bass and better than average in the mids and... | |
| cart upgrade I used a Benz M09 on my VPI Aries.JMW10.5/table with SF SFP-1 Sign. pre amp and found it much more musical than the Glider I owned some years back(Orig. version)I think the L2 is a nice improvement all around over the GliderV2 for not a lot to spe... | |
| What items do you rarely ever see offered for sale Vintage Janszen Electrostats. Several versions of the 130's. My Dad has them mounted in his vintage KLH model-1 bass cabinets.. Really nice and very much ahead of their time! Any one ever heard them or have/had them?? | |
| Norah Jones on Bluenote?? My 2 cents...I love the LP. Blue Note's always sound great, and this ones no exception. Her style is a bit different...but very easy to listen to! | |
| Postal Money Order versus Bank Money Order ??? I for one am one of the audiogon'ers who politely request USPS money orders only( if payment by MO) for all these great reasons listed above. It's just safer and less risk for both parties, especially the guy who ships his $6,000 amplifier upon re... | |
| Mix & Match Interconnects Same here for me in regards to using exclusivly Ridge Streets. Iv'e always mixed and matched cable either just to evaluate or based on the best application in my 2 channel cd/analog set up, perhaps prefering to use one manufactures cable for CD an... | |
| Best used cd player under $1000 It wont play SACD and doesn't upsample...but my Wadia 23 is a steal at a grand used(if you can find it) Wadia digimaster 19 bit res is good enough to hold its own on redbook cd today.I have owned Cary 308T, Cary 301, Philips 963, Cal Labs IconMkII... | |
| BAT VK 5i and tubes, how to chosse? I thought Id post this as usefull and helpful info for someone looking at tubes for the BAT 5i. Even though the thread is a bit dated now... I ran across it during a search regarding info on BAT 5i pre amps which I own.I have also replaced the Sov... | |
| Why is the trend to make separate phono stage Sbank...mostly true....Gladstone mostly true... but,not necessarily so... and Nrchy..again mostly true. All this IMO of course. But companies do stand to profit from seperates as opposed to single box units. There are some Full function units (lin... | |
| What did your first "real" system consist of? Sorry for the above post..spelling. That's Wharfedale... and... friends! Not fiens! LOL! | |
| What did your first "real" system consist of? Wow..what memories..I came by this hobby very honestly. I was just wee lad in the late 50's into the early 60's. My Dad had a pair of McIntosh MC60's and a C11 pre amp. A then very cool Thorens 124 with Pritchard arm( I broke his grado playing Mic... | |
| Shunyata black mamba power cords I have 2 version 1's. One for my Wadia and one on my BAT 5i pre...very quiet and dynamic.I upgraded from HT Pro AC11's which were nice also, but the BM's have more dynamics and lower the noise floor noticeably in my system. Make sure you have a sy... | |
| Vinyl playback is still a secret Tons of Vinyl ??....Never play it or sell it?? Then why keep it at all?? or do you just want to deprive the rest of us who do think it's worth the effort to realize excellent 2 channel playback of LP's. Sure, SACD does sound good, but Properly don... | |
