| A good integrated amp for Silverline Sonatina II I checked out the link - WoW! Sweet lil' preamp. Like I said I've been doing some research on the subject but I'm waiting a month or two while everything settles including my long-term understanding of the amp/system. Just in the last 15 days the ... | |

| Lovan Rack- alternative to stock Rubber dots I replaced BOTH the rubber dots and the shelves. I use 1/4" round, clear (plastic?) cushions, the ones you see under heavy plate glass table tops. The stock shelf was replaced with custom triangle 1/4" glass. The Lovan triangle rack units are lead... | |
| Best speakers for 2A3 SET amplifier? I followed this thread when I was researching a SET amp for my Silverline Sonatinas. Now that I have lived with my SET amp - Moth s45 - for a month I though I'd share with everyone my experience. http://www.audioutopia.com/cgi-bin/yabb/yabb.pl?boa... | |
| A good integrated amp for Silverline Sonatina II I'm, not familiar with the MF stuff. Thought my buddie in Chicago felt it sounds almost as good as the McCormack dna1. Anyway, I've enjoyed the Sonatinas for over two years and have paired them up with three tube amps: GTA se-40>VAC pa 35/35>... | |

| Power cables for ARC VT100MK2 GMorris -I heard that AR recommends the Shunyata King Cobra as the best pc for that VT100. But I believe the gentlemen was looking for something in the $200-300 range. Also I've heard all the Shunyata cords and I would not make the broad statement... | |
| FT Audio/ Passive Preamps - Comments? Dekay -Wish you would get out more? Meaning visit other sites :) About the FT Audio, I got one last summer to bypass / upgrade the volume control in my AA ddev3.0 dac. Being a tube-head I rightly struggled with staying the passive route or going t... | |
| which powercord? jps,esp,shunyata....? Ravi -Echoing Calloway's post; I've got Shunyata Viper's / Sidewinder's and BMI Whale Elite's. I'm very pleased with them after sampling a hoard of their competitors - including the JPS and owning the E.S.P "Essence". The ESP is not in the same le... | |
| no body is buying anything on audiogon Not true. I sold three components on Audiogon in the last 3 months. Two in one day and the last in about a week for the advertized price. Depends what ya selling? MikE | |
| Why so many Hydra's for sale Another happy Hydra owner chimes in. Like Slingo I have had mine for 2 months, so it's stable now (thank God) and while I have not pulled it measure exactly what it's contribution to my system is, I'm also experiencing more musical replay pleasure... | |
| Where should the Whale Elite rest? Timber>Four Whales! My God! I've got two plugged into my Shunyata Hydra PLC. Did you notice, if applicable, that with each succesive Whale that you were getting too much of its signature in the System. I'm assuming your running Whales exclusive... | |
| Which IC is more important? In defense of ML: W/O pretending to know the style or manner of all the regulars on this board (including him) I saw through his curt statement. He didn't intend to be insulting or ungrateful, though he certainly came off that way. He was just exp... |
