| Are There Any Good, High Power Solid State Amps? Sidssp,Sorry, didn't answer your question. I'm thinking in the neighborhood of 300-500 watts (big Levinson, Cary 500MD, big Clayton maybe?). | |
| Are There Any Good, High Power Solid State Amps? Sidssp,Yes, I still have the VR4's (still great speakers...after all this time together!). I've done a lot of work though on the room, by adding room treatment. Don't know why I waited so long to do it! | |
| Are There Any Good, High Power Solid State Amps? TVAD,Sorry it took a little long to respond. MY room is 15 x 19 with coffered 8 ft. ceilings on the front wall (speaker side) and on the back wall (behind the listening chair). The sensitivity of my speakers is 89 db, and I listen at levels that a... | |
| audio research vt 200 mk II vs the vt 200 I am reporting my comparison on the VT100 MkI vs. the VT100 MkII (which is my preference of all the VT100 series). I assume my comments regarding the VT100 will be the same for the VT200 models.The VT100 MkI is a wonderfully musical product. Howev... | |
| Audio Research VT100 MK11 vs VS110 I've listened to all the VT-100 series (Mk I, II & III). Without a doubt, to my ears, the Mk II is the best sounding of all three (and the one that I own). The MkII doubled the power supply of the MkI, plus, added an IEC power input, so you ca... | |
| How is Audio Research's Retubing Services? I'm also curious to know, once you've had your amp retubed by ARC, how did it sound when you got it back? I'm also thinking that the $1,000 I'd spend on retubing the amp might be better spent on purchasing a new Ref 110...which I heard at last Jan... | |
| How is Audio Research's Retubing Services? Kevyo,You shipped your amp to them, which they received on Aug 1, and your still waiting? Wow, that's not very good customer service. Do you call ARC and make an appointment, or do you just send it to them and they work it in when it's convenient ... | |
| Brass speaker spikes My recommendation is to forget about metal feet to put under your speakers. I purchased several pairs (4 feet for each speaker) of Marigo's DF-30 feet, and couldn't be more happy. They drain the resonances from you speaker cabinet, yet don't rob t... | |
| New Ei KT90 & 6CA7 Tubes Thanks Mechans!I did look more closely at the KT90's for type III designation. There is stamped on the tubes, in very small white letters, the following disignation:B3BQ3DIs this the type III variation mark that you are refering to?Lastly, should ... | |
| Dream State Audio power cables? Thanks everyone. Has anyone compared these DSA power cables to the Elrods, either the Signature or the Statement (I've always been impressed when hearing a system with the Elrods)? Please include the specific DSA model that you are talking about.I... | |
| Power Conditioner for your amplifier? It seems that some people encourage the use of a conditioner on your power amp, while others think it's a bad idea. For those who insist on not using a conditioner and plugging directly into a dedicated outlet, have you tried using a conditioner t... | |
| Power Conditioner for your amplifier? Thanks for all the responses. I am definetly going to check out the Running Springs Audio. However, I do have one more question. I'm currently using a Bybee 'Pro' on my CDP, which is giving me great results. Since the RSA is not current limiting, ... | |
| Bybee Slipstream Golden goddess speaker cable tail I own the Bybee Golden Goddess speaker tails and love them. I first used them on the inexpensive (relatively speaking) Purist Museaus, and it was wonderful. Actually, they improved every sonic attribute of the Purist cable. Recently, I upgraded fr... | |
| Von Schweikert VR4 SR IV Hello. I own a pair of VSAVR4 Gen III SE's. I can tell you, amplification will make or break you acceptance of this speaker. After trying many amps (both solid state and tube) the one that hit the home run with me was the Audio Research VT100 MkII... | |
| Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables? Tboooe,I plan on calling Purist next week. When I do, I'll keep you posted. From reading the posts above, it sounds like most find the Venustas to be the fuller sounding and the Aqueous perhaps a little more on the neutral side. My experiences wit... |
