| Placette pasive pre vs. BAT VK-50SE hi Ken, at least i try to keep my opinions humble.anyway, i would guess that the volume control that is in the Berning ZH-270 would be bettered by the Placette but when i had the Berning in my room i didn't try it with it's own volume control. typ... | |
| Placette pasive pre vs. BAT VK-50SE Andy, Matt mentioned to me that you were enjoying the Placette....if you did want what a preamp can do, i highly recommend the #32 as a great one, i really enjoyed mine....it was right up there with any active preamp and as you know, it is a wonde... | |
| Placette pasive pre vs. BAT VK-50SE Arl, save the trouble of considering the #32; i sold my #32 after i compared it to the Placette RVC and the integrated Tenor 75Wi amplifier.....in both cases there was no contest. the more neutral and natural your system is the less you need what ... | |
| Placette pasive pre vs. BAT VK-50SE mrgigi, with only one source what you need is the Placette RVC (remote volume control) which i use and am told sounds the same as the Placette passive pre. I have tried the BAT50SE in my system and prefer the Placette although in some systems the ... | |
| Maple/light wood racks hi Brian,if you really want your significant other to like the "look" of your equipment rack check out Zoethecus racks. their light maple racks, which i use, are absolutely beautiful. unfortunately, the Zoethecus web site does not have their home ... | |
| What is the most expensive? Try this bit of "wretched excess"http://image.inkfrog.com/pix/mikel/wild_thing_3.jpgjust goes to prove that money can't buy everything. | |
| Outlet shoot out Sean, i should have said "tire treads".....but you got the idea. ;^)Sol322, the problem is that you don't violate your local electrical codes by "direct to the wall" wireing. have a competent electrician do any high-voltage unless you happen to be... | |
| Outlet shoot out well, i have something really important to do (i just gotta go clean the rocks out of my tires RIGHT NOW) or i would go do an Outlet shootout.but somewhat seriously, i confess i just accepted the advice of Jennifer Crock and bought her (Jena Labs)... | |
| Is there an end.......ever? No.....there is never an end to the joy that fresh, new, music can bring. as much as i enjoy my system and it's performance i get the most satisfation from connecting with a new artist....when that happens i will search out other recordings by tha... | |
| Which comm. speaker mfgr. makes the best cabinet? the Kharma Exquisite must be one of the speakers with possibly the "best" cabinet. the cabinet is made from 1" slices of a resin composite, very inert and non-resonant, with irregular interior cut-outs in each slice, then bonded and glued together... | |
| edge vs boulder vs halcro adnan,i've listened to all three at various times but only the Halcro DM-58 in my room for a few days.....the Halcro (on my Watt/Puppy 6s) were the fastest, most detailed and transparent amps i have heard; amazing detail and extension.....very neu... | |
| Please help tube amp for panels and SS for woofer Tekunda, Jonathan is pulling your leg on the cable issue but is sincerely recommending the Wolcotts. if your preamp has 2 outputs and you still want to try bi-amping you actually only need to attenuate one side of the bi-amping (you would need to ... | |
| SACD player with Analog Volume Control. the passive Placette RVC (remote volume control) is the answer. either rca ($1000 list) or balanced ($1800 list), it will give you a state of the art vishay-resistor 128-step volume attenuator with remote control. you will not be limited to a part... | |
| Kharma Ceramic 1.0 speaker with Atma Sphere Amps ? Stealth, i love my Tenors with my Kharma Exquisites. i have listened to the Grand Ceramiques on the Lamm ML1s and they were very good, but short of the overall clarity, speed and extension of the Tenors.Charles von Oostrom, Mr. Kharma, uses Tenor ... | |
| best 50 watt tube amplifier? Mejames, as the Dunlavy's are not very OTL friendly, you will either need a "big" OTL, such as the Atmasphere MA2s or maybe the MA1s.....or....the Lamm ML1s. a friend tried the Tenors with the Dunlavys and was not satisfied with the dynamics (she ... |
