| Can a garage serve as listening room? I am in the process of converting mine to a dual AV.. 2 channel room. I will keep you posted....PT | |
| Amp for Vandersteens 2ce sig 2's Quicksilver Silver 88 or the older Silver 90 (mono) are magical on this speaker. Holographic, extension at the top and bottom. Great synergy. | |
| Just Pulled The Trigger The GR are great cables, more forgiving than NR, but unfailing musical. | |
| the best amps for bass, best for the rest? I prefer well matched (to your speaker)tube amps which have more believability to me , but some SS amps can also do it...Pass, Bryston, Coda, Ypsilon, and a few others. Listen to all you can.... | |

| Nelson Reed Speakers I am in CA and would be interested in them 804/B. I had a pair years ago and regret selling them. | |

| KT-88 gold lions verses the new tung-sul kt-120 IMS, I found the 6550 WC more detailed than the GL KT88, but less warm and forgiving. Both great tubes, the balance has to fit your system tonal balance. PT | |
| Any thoughts on removing a preamp from your system I have tried passive and always return to high quality active. There is slight gains in transparency with passive, but I prefer the dynamics and size of stage to a small % gain in transparency. | |

| Does the VPI Aries1 best the VPI Classic1? I had the Linn LP12, went to VP I MkII, III, IV, Aries, Scoutmaster Signature, back to Aries and will stay there. The Aries just does so much right, and isolates rumble better than the Acrylic platter tables. A real Classic.....mine will not be so... | |
| Tube Amp Recommendations $1500 Quicksilver Silver 90 Monos are still fantastic sounding amps, competing with those many thousands more. At 90wpc, they have great bass control. | |
| Speaker hum problem - need help Try another amp/preamp in your house. It may have really crappy AC outlets with wires just plugged in and old ones can make intermittent contact. Wiggle the plug in the wall and see if the hum changes. Usually a hum equals a ground loop. This is a... | |
| The KT120 compared to the 6550C Tubes Kt120 is warmer but less detailed. Both good choices but must be system matched. I like the Gold Lion kt88, WC 6550, Tungsol 6550, and EH kt88. I Like JJ in my Quickies. No 1 tube is the best for all amps. PT | |
| Best mm cart for VPI scout/jmv-9 memorial arm I like the Audio Technical 150 MLX. |
