Comparing ARC, Lamm and Modwright Preamps
I owned an ARC LS16 mkII driving Bryston power amps some years back. Tube rolling the 6922 inside gave it a good warm sound to offset the rather clinical presentation of the Bryston. In my upgrade itch, I auditioned the ModWright and later the Lam... 
Speakers with Lamm ML2.1
Hi there.So how's the match of the VR5 with the ML2.1. Do share please. I am very familiar with the VR5 model, albeit, I'm used to this being driven by the hybrid M1.2 or M2.2 of Lamm.I own a pair of the ML2.1 that drive the phased out Von Schweik...

Anyone hear the Von Schweikert DB-99?
Yup, they're officially dropped. I guess they're collectibles now. ;-) 
Anyone hear the Von Schweikert DB-99?
Hey Tony,So did you get to fix the bass amp problem? It does sound like it's clipping. The only way to stop it from clipping, in my opinion, is for you to lower the volume. Gosh, at what db do you listen at? Do you rock the house? Keith

Lead In Von Schweikert Speakers
This is VS' way of bringing down costs. (eg shipping weight). The cavity in the speaker acts as a resonance trap. The lead shot is required in that it tightens the bass, and stabilizes the impedance curve. 
What pre to use with Vons and Bryston 2B-SST?
He's using all tubes :) Nope, he's not registered in Audiogon.Regards. 
What pre to use with Vons and Bryston 2B-SST?
I didn't get to read your later replies. Didn't realize you had chosen already. My congratulations on the BAT. I recommend you get the BAT power amp to match your pre with. My partner has an all BAT system with his Von Schweikerts and they sound a... 
What pre to use with Vons and Bryston 2B-SST?
I used to use a ARC LS16 mkI use NOS Mullard and Amperex 6922 tubes. This was matched with a Brytson 3BST driving a VR2 and later a VR4jr.I was very happy with this set up. I've since sold the Bryston. The ARC is still the preamp I use but I've si...

how good is the sun audio sv2a3
Has anyone tried the Sun Audio SVC-500 preamp with the SV2A3? Any comments would be very much appreciated. 
how good is the sun audio sv2a3
Not bright at all. My pre-amp is an ARC LS-16 using NOS Mullard and Telefunken 6922 tubes. 
how good is the sun audio sv2a3
sorry, misread the previous question adn thought you were asking what speakers I match the 2A3s with. Cables I will use are Audience Au24s (connected to a different system right now). At the present, I'm using Analysis Plus silver.

Eugneli,I'm using Vons Schweikert Audio DB-99s. Also tried VR1s driven by the 2A3s. I am currently using a suped up Sun Audio design diy 2A3 that uses Tango trannies. Both speakers sound awesome with this amp. I did order a hotrodded Sun Audio 2A3...
