| Dunlavy SC-IV Help Shadorne, Thanks. That makes a lot of sense. Now I can try the tube/hybrid Tm Evans Linear A on the SC-IVs. | |
| Best Balanced Tube Amp To Pair With Meridian G02? I would suggest a pair of Manley Snapper monoblocks. They are a true balanced design and produce a real 100 watts from 4 EL34s per amp. Super liquid mids and great extension on the highs and lows. They sell in the mid 2K range used and are a great... | |
| best position of components in relation to spkers? I gave up running AQ Sky XLRs from the Pre to the Power amp just to be able to move the rack and sources our from between the speakers. It took a day to disconnect, move, position, and reconnect the system. Routing the cables and moving the cable ... | |
| VTL ST 150, Audio Research VT 100, mk. II Don, Having owned both amps, I can tell you there are differences. The VT 100 MK II is a solid all around performer. Nice extension, good 'staging, quiet noise floor and good dynamics. It is also a pain to bias, "needs"* expensive ARC matched outp... | |
| Power requirements for Acoustat 2+2s I successfully ran a pair of 2+2s with Blue Medallion transformers with a pair of VTL Tiny Triodes ( newer version with 45 wpc in tetrode mode). Not too loud but up to the power limit, the sound was AMAZING. The TT 25s have a super deep stage and ... | |
| High-value ICE offerings or Ayre V3, ARC 100.2 IMHO, the V3 is a real bargain ( caveat: with Ayre Conditioner and v 1.3 boards ). They can be had in the $1200 range most of the time and my current one has displaced Krell MDA 300s, VTL MB 450s, Rowland Model 6s, Mcintosh MC 402, Threshold 800D ... | |
| Thiel CS7.2 vs Revel Salon2 If you are really considering a pair of Salon 2s and your dealer will not arrange for an in-home audition, then send him packing. Would you sit in an automobile and coast it around a parking lot then say "$80,000.00, I'll take it!" ? What the heck... | |
| Which is the best CD-Player up to $ 10k ? Ayre C5Xe hands down. Save a ton in comparison to the others listed and give up nothing. Take the $ saved and buy a TON of Orchestral SACDs and smile! | |
| What do you think is the best sounding metal album None of the responses so far even come close to "Metal". Try Testament The Gathering, Overkill The Years of Decay, Iron Maiden Brave New World, Judas Priest Sin After Sin, Screaming for Vengance, Scorpions World Wide Live, Tool Antything they have... | |
| Krell KSA150 vs KSA100S & KSA100 for Inf Kappa 9 JCrogan, What actual real info do you have that leads you to state Krell is having financial problems? | |
| Opinion: Best turntable under $2000? Vpi Aries Scout bar none! | |
| Apogee & Tubes I ran a pair of Stages with VTL MB 450s as part of a mini-grand system and loved the sound. The Slant 6 should do well with a good 50 wpc tube unit as long as it can handle trnsient impedances as most should by the virtue of output trannys. | |
| Sacrilege Going from Tubes back to Solid State Hey All, Thanks for the responses so far. I will try to drag home a McIntosh MC402 at some point as I have heard great things about it. I have not heard the hybrid Butler piece but will do some research. I could not in good conscience buy a _Digit... | |
| Speaker upgrade Transl,If your first experience with the dealer doing parts upgrades was good, why would you doubt his ability to do another upgrade to the same speakers? Did the first experience not earn your trust? Why do you feel the need to be reassured by a ... | |
| What are we listening to tonight? Static X, Overkill, DJ Subliminal, Crystal Method, Mushroomhead, Bass Wavs sea of tranquility.Not the normal Audiophile set list, but who cares, I sure as hell lke it.Munchies handled here but Ice cream and more music. |
