| Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews I think this thread really shows the problem, people that are passionate about audio have a great deal of familiarity and are passionate (love and hate) about VSA. Any magazine committed to informing readers about hi fi equipment should have somet... | |
| Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews I'm sure if VSA was throwing the advertising dollars stereophile's way like B&W, they would have reviews and front covers all the time. It's akin to having to sponsor a professional conference to getting a speaking slot. | |
| Tube virgin no more Great decision. I am very glad I went in the tube direction - although right now I have angst awaiting the delivery of some new tubes to try. I guess that's a good thing. I am curious to what direction are you thinking for speaker and amplificatio... | |
| Denon 2900 and Dacs I tried a MF Tri-vista DAC with my 2900 and although it was an improvement, it didn't seem huge. I ended up with a MF A5 which is a tremendous performer and much better then the 2900/trivista. I have also listened to an Exemplar 2900 which is awes... | |
| Jackson Browne's new CD Yes it is very good. See article in the latest Stereophile. | |
| Help to make a choice: BAT; VAC; E.A.R. VAC has many times been used by VSA in demos and I think there is a good synergy. I use VAC Avatar Super integrated with 4JRs with great results. Kevin Hayes at VAC is great to deal with. | |
| cell phones and tubes My workmates and I are in a temp office, 5 of us all crowded around a table with wireless keyboards, mice, and blackberries plus a radio. You should hear all the buzzin and cussin caused by that mish mash of electronic genius. I get it in my car, ... | |
| DartZeel compared to Pass Labs XA-160/200's I hear what you are saying Teajay, but is sometimes very helpful to have alternatives to what is being considered pointed out to you. It would be nice to have some direct comparison backing-up the need for straying. Good luck in your search. | |
| Von Schweikert VR4SR Loudspeaker You should also think about the VSA DB99 which would match with your amp better. | |
| Need help making TV decision The best plasma I have ever seen is a B&O beovision, it looked phenomenal on DVD and HDTV. This will test your version of price not really mattering. I think it is like $10K for the 42" model.As for pixelization, I think this is a function of ... | |
| Von Schweikert LCR-15 or B&W HTM2 Krellm7 works for a dealer, and most likely a B&W dealer, he should be making that clear when he bashes a competitor (wrongly) so that everyone knows the real potential bias. | |
| New to the Hobby what would you do next? If I read this right, you've gone through 4 amps, 3 pre-amps, and 3 sets of speakers in 8 months. When do you have time to listen and figure out what you like and don't like? | |
| Von Schweikert LCR-15 or B&W HTM2 Try your vr-1s as a center to test and see how well or poorly they match. | |
