| BAT vk-31se or Mcintosh c2200 the BAT is truly balanced, which the Mac isn't, if this is a factor.i have the 31SE, and it is better than the 50SE i auditioned in my room the month before. | |
| Wadia 861 or keep Electrocompaniet mk2 No offense, and surprised no one has mentioned it--a bigger upgrade would be the 1300 upgrade to 51SE statusI have the 31SE, and feel it outperforms the 50SE (which i also borrowed).Cheers,KeithR | |
| Question for Rowland aficionados Its the ICE power unit as i recall...i saw one at the B&O store over the weekend...about the size of a cigarette pack | |
| Which are the top DVD-A players? Linn Unidisk 1.1 is phenomenal...and i haven't had any problems (although just got it) | |
| Amps for Vandersteen 5A Heard em on Cary V12 monos, and they were jammin'KeithR | |

| Revel vs. Aerial vs. B&W Thats right. Nothing beats Revel speakers, we know, we know. | |
| Various Wadia models Vs Cary Audio and others I had both an 861 and 306 in my system at the same time. I preferred the Wadia on all counts--of course, its more expensive. | |
| Speaker to match Mark Levinson and Jeff Rowland I think you are going about this backwards. Find the speaker, then find the amp to drive it. In my case, i use active Avantgardes, so i ended up not needing an amp :) | |
| Revel Studios and Tube Amps I believe Kal Rubinson of Stereophile uses SF Power 3s with his Studios... | |
| Cables for Tenor/Kharma/Capitole MKI Tireguy- you and i must be the babies on the 'gon. I'm 26 and I love this hobby! | |
| Balanced Tube Preamps I Should Try I've heard the Khorus Xs on a friends system with Pass X350. He has used Cary SLP98 and First Sound preamps to great success in that system. | |
| Which Cary amp will drive the Revel Studio V12 monos i would think would be great | |
| Wilson or Kharma I'm sorry--but 20k for a 2-way with no bass below 40hz is just the total rip off in audio (and yes, i've heard them). I like the Midi-Grands if you go with Kharma, but obviously they are 2x the price.At 20k, i don't think its hard to ask for a ful... |
