Any love for the Hegel Viking?  
Front Row Seat Power Cord?
I started this thread, and appreciate the input from most of the posters. I’m out. Happy Holidays😁  
Audible Illusions Modulus 3A troubles
I have used Tungsram 6922 NOS tubes with Audible Illlusions preamps for close to 30 years and have never had a problem. They sound great. I do agree with previous poster that generally NOS tubes do not work well with AI preamps.  
Front Row Seat Power Cord?
As RichardBrand again correctly noted, microphone placement in recording can also be a factor in the perceived sitting position. But since I am in the market for a new power cord anyway, I’d like to try to adress the issue in this fashion. I’ve tr... 
Front Row Seat Power Cord?
 I agree that  the simple “volume” knob is part of the equation in creating a front perspective, but not the only part.  
Front Row Seat Power Cord?
To clarify I’m looking for a power cord that is around $1000 or less. Thx:)  
Front Row Seat Power Cord?
Thx. Yyz, but Audience Front Rows a little too rich for my blood.😁  
Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question
Interested in a Hana ml. I’ve  got an Audible Illudions 3B with the John Curl designed mc stage and fixed 47,000 resistance input . AI says their tests show low output mc’s work better at 47,000, with their design. Base on this thread, I guess I’l... 
MC cartridge for Clearaudio Concept 1600$
I find this discussion interesting because I have a Clearaudio Concept and am considering many of these same cartridges. I have one additional concern though. My preamp is an Audible Illusions 3B with the John Curl designed phono board for low out... 
Audible Illusions Modulus 3A troubles
If it was just the phono section, it could be you are running a very low output moving coil cartridge. Unless it has the optional John Curl phono board, the regular Audible Illusions phono board does not have much gain.  
SST Ampzilla 2000 v2 vs Son of Ampzilla II
I purchased the Son 11 after a direct comparison with the Van Alstine SET500. I’ve also had a Krell 250a and a Forte 1a (Pass deigned) in my home. I found the Son to have the most holographic 3d images of the bunch, deep real(not artificially tigh... 
SST Ampzilla 2000 v2 vs Son of Ampzilla II
Have no idea about the bridging issue. I do know that a single SST Son of Ampzilla II effortlessly drives my old trusty Von Schweikert V4s to sonic bliss.😁  
Anything SS sounds better than D'Agostino ?
A fan of SST Son of Ampzilla ii here !!  
Anyone at home at Krell?
I debated awhile back sending my  old amp back to them for refurbishing. Had an RA number and everything. Luckily, I never quite got around to sending it back. I feel for those whose equipment Krell is now holding.  
The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"!
Maybe I’m naive, but this is the first time I’ve heard that the major mags require you to do paid advertising to get reviewed. Other than one manufacturer apparently suggesting this, is their other evidence confirming this is the case?  It sounds ...
