| Cart. match for Sonic Frontiers SFP-1 Signature I am using a Benz M09(now M2) on a VPI JMW 10.5/Aries combo with my Signature.The Benz had a medium output of 1.0mV and matches wonderfully. Im driving this into a ARC LS15 pre amp. Two things I recommend with your SFP-1 Sign is to use a good PC i... | |
| What type of turntable should I use? That's correct Sayas. It was worth the time and effort to make sure my Aries is on firm foundation and dead level. The synergy with my JMW 10.5 is truly hard to beat for the price and competes with more expensive designs and models, even Harrys ow... | |
| The best tubes for ARC LS16 MKII Yes, the 16Mkll does indeed use the new 6h30 tubes. I am not aware of any replacements for these..maybe someone can correct me. The 6h30 is supposed to be a "faster"sounding more accurate valve. My listening impression of the 16Mkll confirm this a... | |
| Best amp for meadowlark shearwaters 1-2K Yes...heard those too! Rogue M- 120 monos. Great match! | |
| ARC LS15 owners comment /upgrade? Yes, I'm familiar with GNS and have spoken to Steve some time ago. His work is highly regarded and I have several upgrade quotes from him regarding my older SP-9 and my Wadia 23. But, unfortunately at 4-5X the price of the ARC upgrade for the LS15... | |
| Best amp for meadowlark shearwaters 1-2K FWIW..I agree with lasi, and would steer clear of Krell. | |
| Best amp for meadowlark shearwaters 1-2K I had listened to the original Shearwaters on several occasions some years back at a local dealer. The different amps each time I visited were VTL ST-85's, Mesa tube integrated switched to Triode (20w), Although the room was somewhat problematic(t... | |
| would this Deter you from buying used gear???? Why dont you just disassemble your whole system each evening before bed,gather your cameras,jewels, TV's and any other precious collectables, etc...and go lock em' all in a giant steel fire and theft proof safe! This way you dont have to engrave a... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-1 & VRS-1 or VR-2? Hey David,I thought you had already got the 2's? Guess your still deciding. That deal on the 2's seemed very good. Iv'e had mine now for about 3weeks(demos slightly broken in) and find them excellent.I didn't listen to the VR1 sub combo, but the c... | |
| Audio Research D400 mkII Agree with all above.. ARC doesn't make a bad amp SS or tube. You will not go wrong here. I used a D200/SP9 pre and auditioned a 100.2 and was very impressed with it. Very similar, the 100.2 gets the nod for refinement, detail and bass punch, but ... | |
| Tube Equipment: Gimmick? Well said Mejames! I believe the first sentence of Aggielawsthread actually sums up his quandry." a mechanical engineer(who has no interest in audio equipment or the industry)" A degree in electrical engineering would add more credibility to his s... | |
| Tube Equipment: Gimmick? There you go Jax2! now your talking. I'll bring the spicy mustard. All I can say is How often do we run across such thinking not only here in the forums, but with people we know who "know better". Armed with preconceived thoughts and biases of wha... | |
| Amps used for Von Schw.VR2's?? Thank you for the information so far of amps used for your Von Schweikert VR2's. The Spectron Musician amp sound like a highly regarded digital amp. I understand a Mk.111 is out or coming out. | |
| Acoustat TNT 200 Mine also..I had one for several years and did the exact same thing.Temperature variations within the stainless steel chassis is the usual cause...no big deal. Fine sounding amp with mosfet output.Although mine got a bit noisy in the right channel... | |
| Are Von Schweikert VR-2s worth auditioning? Fetguy,You are so right. Iv'e owned so many speakers where in the Hype WAY exceeded the actaul performance and sound. No so with these.. They are indeed a well engineered,coherent, and balanced speaker that makes few compromises that hurt the musi... |
