| MBL 6010D built in phono help Excellent! Glad you are happy | |
| MBL 9008A / 9011 No no. One 9011 not better. It just adds amplifier sections. My second power cords are not even connected. The review in absolute sound was garbage. 9011s give you more impact with the extra amplifiers on but cause more distortion, it's audible. I... | |
| MBL 6010D built in phono help Yes I own it. It's more than acceptable. I auditioned ARC ref2. But didn't hear enough of a difference to make a purchase. More bloody midrange for sure. It has limited cartridge matching ability IMHO. But if u pay attention to that it's all good:) | |
| Acoustic Systems for Audio Research VT100Mk3 No deep , taut bass with tubes IMHO. I had the original and upgraded to mk2. For a long time. Try a used rel stentor cone extend in parallel to you main speakers. I had my mike connected to watt puppy 5.1s and added the rel. as close as I ever cou... | |
| What amp $1000 for Rockport Tech Mira Mon? ARC VT-100Used it with a variety of speakers, used, close to where you want to be. | |
| Speaker cable suggestions for MBL 101E's See one of my pixs on my system.. I tried various nordost, synergisticm (the new stuff), cardas, transparent XL, harmonic tech ( my fav for relatively reasonable cable, Acoustic Zen. I use tara 0.8, and the one power cords. There is a harmonic ric... | |
| mbl 6011d or arc ref 3 or dartzeel preamp? I've had both 6010d and arc-3. More romance with arc, more flexibility with MBL.. and less noise. I think the soundstage wider with arc, deeper with MBL ... I could absolutely live with either although as my 101s are tipped up a bit in the treble,... | |
| Lamm ML2.1 monos with MBL 101E, OPINIONS okay, here is my two cents, you love the lamms? Okay biamp the highs and lows, get a higher power low end for the woofers. Know what else I have done? taken out the jumpers and put three amps on the thing because the football takes a bit of power ... | |
| MBL 101E and tubes? Best amp with the 101's? I think 9008s are good enough, I bought 9011s, but did not even use the whole amplifier. For tubes, I would have liked to try the VTLs, but "they are at show, how soon are you gonna buy....blah blah" so ran out of patience... | |

| Fire place vs. audiophile.... Door is always open, logs in the fireplace act as a diffuser, and yes, if I let my wife cuddle up with me in the listening chair, she doesn't mind too much. Ideally, I would make a built-in, and do some other stuff with diffusers, I've just been a... | |
| Give up on Thiel 3.6 or try another amp again ? Here's a unique one. DivaBe's by JM Lab. Fairly easy to drive, and a good match with tubes. I owned 3.5s and for everything the dealer had.. (krell, audio research, theta, Ayre) the only thing that drove them decently was a FPB300, which, come to ... | |
| upgrade emm labs preamp or speaker??? Just the ref 2. The ref two added some gain, a little grain (which took me awhile to hear) but some definite palpability and air. A little more "there". Those are pretty inexpensive used. I hear that the Ref 3 is much better, but have never heard ... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? I have been to Synergistic and have known one of their golden ears, Elliot, since I spent my entire early separation check from the service on a pair of Maggie 3.0s. 20 plus years ago, come to think of it. So perhaps I can shed a little light on t... |
