| How do I know if my systems any good? It’s good if you sit, listen, become catatonic and think “This is the way,” repeatedly. | |
| VTL TL7.5 series lll VS VAC Master Line Stage VS AR Ref 6 VS Nagra Classic Preamp @christianb5s4 I have not heard Parasound amps, but they have a very good reputation. Honestly I can’t grade how much warmer the Pass Labs is, as I don’t have a reference as to what a 5 or 10 is. Also in keeping with the OP’s theme, I’d like to... | |
| VTL TL7.5 series lll VS VAC Master Line Stage VS AR Ref 6 VS Nagra Classic Preamp @christianb5s4 Today is my second day with this amp. I have to work later today but got up early to listen to the amp in my system. The Coda is an unbelievable amp. I have it plugged into my Shunyata Everest conditioner, and I’ve had zero noise... | |
| VTL TL7.5 series lll VS VAC Master Line Stage VS AR Ref 6 VS Nagra Classic Preamp @christianb5s4 My Coda 16 was delivered 5 hours ago, and I’ve been listening to it for the past 3 hours or so. Simply said, get the Coda. What everyone says about it here on the Audiogon forums or What’s Best is true. It is one stunning amp in e... | |
| VTL TL7.5 series lll VS VAC Master Line Stage VS AR Ref 6 VS Nagra Classic Preamp @tubesrule I’ve been using a VAC Master with a Pass Labs X250.8 amp into Magnepans and now YG Acoustics Carmel 2 speakers with great results. The Master and its use of 6922 tubes allows you to tube roll and find the sound that you like. I’m pa... | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? Thanks @mulveling. Your systems must sound absolutely amazing. I’m not sure if my YG Acoustics speakers will play nicely with tube amps though. YG is usually shown with SS amps, and I know their showroom uses D’Ag amps. I still hope to listen ... | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? @mulveling Bingo regarding everything that you posted. Yes, we buy and enjoy VAC! How is your Master 300iQ amp? I’ve gotta listen to that somehow somewhere. | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? Hey emerging, thanks for showing us that you and the OP, jumia, are one in the same. I’ve known that. Your fixation on a full remote and option to remotely change the input selection is just plain ridiculous from a purist point of view. Please ... | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? Thanks for the info, and it makes sense. I wonder if anyone has run REW frequency response for a component with fuse swaps. | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? @highstream That’s interesting regarding the VAC power supply fuse holder. I’m 100% sure I loaded from the top, since my preamp sits inside my entertainment center and can only be accessed from the top. I found the M1 fuse in my N20 to provide ... | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? @highstream I changed the fuse to an Audio Magic Ultimate Premier a while back. The tray slides out about an inch or so and locks without coming all the way out. There are two slots from what I recall where the outer fuse is used in the circuit.... | |

| Aurender N20 @lalitk Thank you very much. I’ll definitely check out critical listening soon, but everything sounds incredible now. I do have the display off though. My bedroom system consists of components over the decades. The Audiolab 8000CD was m... | |
| Aurender N20 @vonhelmholtz Actually thank you for posting this thread. I’ve had the N20 on my radar for a while. I knew that I was going to upgrade, but your thread made me bite the bullet. I’m so happy that I did. Also my dealer informed me that ther... | |
| Aurender N20 The 6-digit code appears on the N20’s screen when connecting to the Conductor app. I guess it’s an authentication code that you enter into the app on the iPad to pair to the N20. I haven’t needed to enter it again. I’ve been listening to the... |
