| Vifa mid-woofer Alexander, That is a good idea - I found a site that had the specs. Fortunately I received an email from a member who had 2 new woofers for sale - he saved my speakers.Thank you to those who replied for your assistance. - Kevin | |
| Vifa mid-woofer Thank you for your responses.I have emails into Madisound and Parts Express, although Madisound's site said it was not available.Oregondv already told me they no longer carry the woofer. The speakers are ACI(Audio Concepts Inc) Sapphire 25th Anniv... | |
| Berning ZH-270 Replacement I second Sbank's response. The ZH 270 benefits from a good preamp. I use a ZH 270 in a second (Summer) system with a FS pre and the sound is terrific. I use Joule amp (vzn 100) and Joule pre in the Winter when heat is not a factor. The Berning/FS ... | |
| Seeking suggestions for Preamp Joule Electra LAP 150 mk II.Wonderful pre - quiet,extended, dynamic and romantic to my ears although not bloomy really but musical.Very involving and virtually no fatigue factor. | |
| Tired of Problems with Tube Equipment I have Berning, First Sound and Joule Electra tube gear and have had no problems whatsoever. I've had to replace four tubes in the last 18 months is the extent of it. They do require attention but the payoff is well worth it. My SS gear never invo... | |
| Power Plant Premier making sound worse? I have not heard the PPP but I did just purchase an Equitech 1.5 Q. I did not like the sound with the amps plugged into it - flat, uninvolving. I plugged the amps directly back into the wall outlet and was much happier. I did leave the preamp plug... | |
| Scoutmaster Isolation I purchased a ginko cloud to place under a Scoutmaster and it made all the difference.It had been a little frustrating to deal with the vibrations - I was surprised by how well the ginko worked. | |
| Joule Electra LA150 MkII or Lamm LL2 Deluxe? I currently have the Joule LAP 150 II and I cannot recommend it highly enough. I have never listened to the Lamm and so cannot make a direct comparison. The Joule is very quiet, but also very dynamic. Everything just sounds so right - highly music... | |
| dedicated electrical line RLeff, I have been listening to the Joules for about 3 months without a dedicated line. They sound terrific - paired with the Joule preamp, I could not be happier. I am still considering installing a dedicated line, though, because they seem to ge... | |
| Cartridge recommendations VPI Scoutmaster Thank you all for your insights. I am going to purchase a Benz Micro M2 Wood and will post a follow-up after everything gets hooked up.....which may take a little while. Seasoned, I am buying it new. All of the cartridges mentioned have gotten gre... | |
| Review: Merlin Music Systems VSM-MMe Excellent review. I agree with everything you have written about the VSM's especially the importance of the partnering equipment. I have VSM MX's mated to a Berning ZH270 and a First Sound Presence Dlx Mk II. Source is AA Capitole Mk II. I previou... | |
| preamp for berning/merlin/audio aero system Spencer, I received the FS from Emmanuel Go (via Swampwalker - both excellent to deal with) yesterday. I hooked it up and.....the transformation was phenomenal. The FS has pinpoint imaging, real energy,and wonderful tone. I was amazed at the befor... | |
| preamp for berning/merlin/audio aero system Sbank, I purchased a First Sound Deluxe 2.0 Mk II, which is being inspected by Emmanuel Go and upgraded. I should have it in about a week. I have been using the Berning straight out of a cd player (Anthem cd 1 while my AA Capitole is being upgrade... | |
| preamp for berning/merlin/audio aero system Thank you all for taking the time to offer such helpful comments. Dgarretson, I have heard the Atma sounds excellent with the Merlins. Diamonddude, I neglected to mention that I have a (generally well behaved) 5 year old so I am looking to avoid e... |
