| VAC 301 versus VAC 200 as monoblocks Franzschubert, why not go 300.1 mono? CA is cool and dry so heat shouldn't be an issue :-) | |
| VAC 301 versus VAC 200 as monoblocks Franzschubert, Did you compare 300.1 mono to 200 mono? What speakers were you using in the comparison? | |
| Anyone solved MF Tri Vista SACD problems? I had a similiar experience with a Krell player. In a ~18 months period, Krell shipped me 5 new replacement units ... 3 was the same and 2 was a replacement/newer model.It was a hassle and shipping got expensive but Krell stood behind their produc... | |

| Anyone solved MF Tri Vista SACD problems? This is one of the reasons I'm using a computer base music server. The transport eventually failed in all my cd players ranging from a Pioneer Elite to very expensive Krells.Recently I bought a MW Oppo BDP83 w/XLR mod for Blu-Ray and surprisely al... | |

| Class D amp wyred4sound and B&W 803D So far in my brief exposure to Class D, the sound doesn't excite my interest ... just can't warm up to it. I'm still leaning towards conventional Class A/AB amps and have not audition DAC yet.I contacted Tommy and if I'm still in the market for SS... | |

| VAC Signature MKIIa pre-amp John, I've had many SS amps and always leave them on 24/7. My last SS was a Krell FPB600 and it requires a very long warm up so it was on 24/7. The heat in standby was miserable in the hot humid summer months and want to avoid in next SS. | |
| VAC Signature MKIIa pre-amp Dev, great to hear VAC and Bryston are getting along nicely :-). The 28BSST is on my short list of SS amps. Besides sound quality, I want cool running and short warm-up to max performance so this limits my pool. It's only April so I have several m... | |

| VAC Signature MKIIa pre-amp Dev, got mine 2+ weeks ago in black and had the same initial reaction as you :-). I've had many preamps so I can tell this is going to be very good ... a KEEPER! I've been busy so only have ~60 hours on it ... it puts a smile on my face everytime ... |
