| Integrated amp for Usher Be-718? I used a BAT-VK-300x SE (150 WPC solid state) with a pair of the 718-BE's and it was a great combination. | |
| BAT or Cary Pre with BAT VK-55? Just to update those who contributed to the thread, I went with a BAT VK-31SE, and am so far very pleased with the combo. | |
| Cartridge upgrade for VPI Scout Stanwal-Wouldn't a butcher block do essentially the same thing as the Ginko, just give a different "flavor" result sound wise? | |
| Cartridge upgrade for VPI Scout Thanks for all the sugestions guys.Stingreen-I did try taking it off the Ginko, but it seemed to muddy the overall clarity, and did not have an effect on the upper treble. I am a drummer, so I prefer a "hotter" top end to get a nice sizzle and air... | |
| Audioquest DBS pack orientation? Mulveling-Yes, it is terminated with RCA's on both ends. | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? "Every day things change, but basically they stay the same"- Dave Matthews, from "Seek Up" Simple but profound. | |
| Cartridge upgrade for VPI Scout Stingreen-I originally had it on just a shelf on my rack, but that was a quite some time ago. Why do you ask? | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 this may have been discussed before, but does this player have true balanced outputs, or balanced outputs that just convert to single ended on the inside of the chassis? | |
| New XLR cables for system? Need your opinions Mogami gold XLR cables are very very good, and very affordable too. I also made some myself dirt cheap with bulk 2534 cable and basic Nuetrik connectors. 5' pair cost me $20.00 including shipping and about a half an hour with a soldering iron to m... | |
| How much better is BAT VK-3ix than the VK-3i? Samzx12-Thanks for your response. One thing that conerns meabout tube rolling in the 5i is that there are 8 6922's. With NOS tubes that can get very expensive considering you may not even like the sound of a particular NOS set of tubes that just c... | |
| BAT or Cary Pre with BAT VK-55? Thanks for all of the responses guys. I am leaning towards a BAT pre at this point. Probably can't go wrong with either. | |
| Tube integrated amp recommendations? Cayin A-50t is quite good and should be available around $800 used here on Agon. | |
| Manley stingray or Cary sli 80 sig I have owned the original Stingray and the Rouge Tempest Magnum. I preferred the Stingray by a wide margin for it's clear, sweet, and ballsy sound. Excellent bass for a 40WPC tube integrated. Tube magic is there in spades, maybe it's because of th... | |
| matching center channel to mains/rears FWIW, I had Paradigm Studio 60 v4 fronts and a CC-590 v4 center. I then sold the Studio 60's, kept the CC-590 center, and moved in Dali Helicon 400's MkI for the fronts. Based on all that I had heard and read, I was expecting to be dissapointed wi... | |
| Footers for Esoteric SA50 CD-SACD Player I got great results with Stillpoints w/ the risers under my SA-10. I bought the Stillpoints first w/o the risers and they definitely "cleaned" the proverbial window. I was then skeptical about the risers making a noticeable difference, but for $10... |
