| More 845 tubes price is way high, especially since they want us to risk our expensive amplifiers as test mules ..... | |
| How do I power my 800D(3)s George, with al due respect to engineers, I listen with my ears not with graphs ... Just conveying my personal experiences... If you ever go to audiophile or trade show see the Wilson Audio Exhibits and ask them why they choose VTL line of tubes..... | |
| How do I power my 800D(3)s The Nordost cables will suck the soul out of your speakers .. Try Cardas Golden Cross true bi-wire (NEVER internal bi -wire) or the new Magnans , also true bi wire (i.e two runs, or shotgun design) | |
| How do I power my 800D(3)s Stereo Exchange in NYC has your 800D3s set up with Rogues I believe .... if they switched the amps and run them with MAcintosh or Devialet, these will sound mediocre at best .... Your speakers are fantastic ..Easily top 5 , price be damned ! | |
| How do I power my 800D(3)s Rogue Audio Apollo dark model monoblocks are also exceptional and reliable design..again , try to get them with EL 34 .... VTL MB 185 are also supremely musical, they are EL 34 designs, and are auto biased ... If you hear VTL s with your speakers... | |
| How do I power my 800D(3)s For the tube designs the Mastersound PF 100 limited monoblocks, or Jadis 120 s with EL 34 s only! the Jadis PA 150 is great too, but make sure to get it with EL 34s (Golden Lions KT 77s are alrite)... However with the Jadis you might deal with re... | |
| How do I power my 800D(3)s Symphonic Line Rg4 monoblocks.... Whatever amps mentioned here are just mediocre at best and don't not even come close to these.... if you value musicality, the truth of timbre, etc... | |
| Heard the B&W N804d3s ... whyowhy:The CM5 that you ve gotten are some of the musically satisfying speakers at any price.... You are not going find anything that much better till you go up 805 D3s, or Chario Sonnets, both at about 6 grand... And even then, CM5s can hold th... | |
| Best 845 tube out there? I also would like to know people's opinion on the above comparison as well, as planning to get a 845 based amp... ANYONE? Thanks so much in advance .... | |
| Shuguang Natural Sound 845-T or Psvane 845 T MkII tscata,Hello,Its been about two years since you have bought these tubes.. I wonder how they are holding up and how many hours on them, and if they still alive? I am going to buy the very same tube amplifier that you own, but worry about very short... | |
| JMF Audio: Any experience with JMF Amps/Transport? Plummox,What was the price of your 6002 stereo amp, and did you get it from them directly or thru dealer in the USA? Thanks | |
| Help! Best amp for Rockport Aviors? Ditch the Spectral.... Try to get vintage EKSC 2a versions in monoblock iteration.. These are of the legendary Jon Iverson fame amps... Still to this day, few solid amps can touch them for the treble delicacy and bass slam... I believe eagle aud... | |
| DAC recommendation in the $1k range The IFI IDAC2 is even better than IDSD (have both of them). In tandem with the IUSB 3 very few dacs can touch the refined nature of its sound, AT ANY price! And I have owned and own few Goldmund dacs ..... If you use USB of course ... For coaxia... | |
| Mastersound Evo 845 or Line Magnetic 219ia The Evo is one of the best integrated amp in the world... Its in the different league from other one you ve mentioned. Its even better than Audio Note Japaneses models, price notwithstanding, and yes I ve compared them extensively, granted not th... | |
| greeting ,some advice from the masters please.. Get Rega Mira 3, replace its speaker terminals to Cardas copper ones. Its about 400-500 used, The new Bowers Wilkins CM8s2 , about $2200 if you bargain. The combo will sound amazing in your setup. |
