| Berning ZH-270 Tron Comet. No longer manufactured, but Tron is still in business and makes the (much more expensive) Syren, and in phono stage (and maybe line stage?) the Seven, which is around 4K? Not sure. BTW, I also had a Cortese, although it was an older mo... | |
| Cables for Merlin VSM-MXe speakers How much money do you want to spend? I'd recommend Stereovox Reference, that is what I'm using with my MX's, although I know that it is not Bobby's favorite. It is a good bit more expensive than the other cables mentioned here, I think. I'd agree ... | |
| Which artists' music do you buy without audition Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert, Bill Nelson. | |
| Help with a tube amp recommendation A little late to the party, but would also recommend Berning, since you said you like very detailed sound. With Allan's mods and the stepped attenuator volume control, it sounds very detailed without being coldly 'analytical'. | |
| Are there any budget tubed preamps that stand out I would second the minimax, I had one a few years ago, have since moved way up scale (price wise anyhow), minimax was a great preamp for the money. | |
| Damned brands or not good electronics? I own a Tron preamp, not the Syren, the Comet, I don't think the Comet is made anymore, but it was the 'entry level' Tron. I also had an Eastern Electric Minimax for a while. I think you are WAY off base regarding reliability, build quality,etc.; ... | |
| Recommend relatively obscure high end tube preamps Highwater Sound (Jeff Catalano) distributes the Tron in the US. He's in NYC. Might be worth a call or email. I have the Tron Comet, the Syren's 'baby brother' (although I don't think the COmet is made anymore). | |

| Upgrade from Merlin VSM-M to What? Why not upgrade to the MX with the super-BAM? It is true that the bass will not go any lower, the cutoff/filter/whatever is still at the same frequency, but the MX with the Super-BAM produces much more, and much better bass, than the old Millenium... | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? Here's a question--any idea what George Louis is apologizing for over on Audio Asylum General? | |
| Anyone have experience with the Nanotec Nespa? John (Jfz), you volunteering to be the 'test subject'? Just kidding :) | |
| Tube OTL amp for VAndy 5 Swampwalker, I have Merlins (VSM-MX with the superBAM). Just today I was at the dealers who has the 5's (by the way, they are 5's, not 5A's, I was wrong) with the m60's. He had them fired up for some customers. So, I have heard the M60's with 5's,... | |
| Tube OTL amp for VAndy 5 My local dealer has the 5's, actually the 5A's, hooked up to a pair of M-60's, without any autoformer in between. He likes the sound a lot, has no concerns about lack of bass, no surprise since the Vandy's have the subs. Don't you live somewhere ... | |
| Anybody tried the new Gold Quicksilver enhancer ? Yes, I currently have it on my IC's and power cords, didn't try tube pins yet. First I have to take off all the Walker Extreme SST. I'd agree with your comments on your system page about increased detail over SST. However, if anyone is going to tr... | |
| Kubala-Sosna Cables..... I don't get it ????? Calloway, was there any significant burn-in time for your emotion power cords? I have three pairs on loan, so to speak, not sure I like everything about what I'm hearing so far. |
