| Walker EST Silver treatment? I have used Loyd's SST and now EST in my system for the past year and love it. I have not found it to migrate. The most apparent and initial observation in my system was that the volume was instantly louder and far more transparent. About 6 months... | |
| Walker SST contact enhancer I use Lloyd's SST in my system and recently Lloyd sent me a bottle of his new Extreme SST at 2x the price. I must admit that in my system there was a sonic improvement with the most noticeable at the volume which seemed much louder. All in all a g... | |
| Watt/Puppy 7 or Sophia? I certainly agree about interconnect and speaker cables.I have tried them all and IMO there is simply nothing better than Nordost Valhalla. You should audition this cable as it is a must have in any system | |
| Has anyone heard the Ref 3? I own a Ref 3 and IMO it is simply the best preamp I have ever owned. Prior to that I owned a Ref 2 MK ll which I thought also to be excellent but when put up against the Ref 3 it sounded broken.Those who pontificate about preamps rate the Ref3 as... | |
| Watt Puppy 7s/Maxx 2s The Maxx ll is an absolutely superb speaker which has much of the X-2 technology at 1/3 the price. They are rated at 92 Db and if you can go for the gusto I would strongly encourage you to consider the Lamm Ml 2.1 which at 18 wpc drive these speak... | |
| Watt/Puppy 7 or Sophia? VargasI have always said that this hobby involves two things--our ears and our walletsHaving said that, if you are looking for a superb entry level speaker the Sophia for the money is hard to beat. But if you can afford them, the WP 7 is indeed in... | |
| Janis 15" Subs......Anyone???? B&W ASW-800 THX... Hi DanI had a pair of the W-1's in my room when you first me me. They were in rosewood. They were very good but there are much better now by today's standards. Needless to say I sold them and am now using the behemoth Wilson XS.Dan we still seem t... | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions No....I took my unit to an authorized ARC repair man here in the Bay AreaARC shipped both the replacement tube as well as the 4 bypass caps to him. He did the install in less than 1/2 hour. All I did was pay the $60 for the new tube. Both the tube... | |
| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? EthannThat is why I feel the ARC Ref 3 pairs well with the Meitner gear. | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions I completely agree. I am not a big fan of the 6550C either. I talked long and hard with the folks at ARC as to why they went back to this tube. Simply put....more bass. The four by pass caps have clearly smoothed out the upper end in my system. Et... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE I will go out on a limb and say the Wilson Maxx ll.The series 2 upgrade on these speakers is truly amazing as it has much of the X-2 technology at 1/3 of the price. They are a speaker worth owning--so much so that Wilson Audio has discontinued the... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Wilson X-2 Alexandria. I have owned many great speakers but this is the penultimate speaker | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I have owned just about every top of the line speaker but without doubt the single best speaker I have ever heard is the Wilson X-2 Alexandria. You can have a look at minehttp://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?vaslt&1049587927&read&3&... | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions Interesting thread and how misquoted I was. All along I told guidocorona that only the 6L6GC tube would be replaced by the 6550C. I was somewhat surprised because I am not a big fan of the 6550C--however once the tube was swapped and the bypass ca... | |
| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? Hi EthannYou heard my Ref 3 and it is dead quiet. I am not sure what the issue is with respect to the Ref3 which you auditioned.I had no hiss even before I had the 4 bypass caps added |
