| TUBE PRE-AMP OR PASSIVE LINE STAGE ? There have been multiple threads on this subject over the last few months. The conclusion is IT DEPENDS. I spent the last six month fiddling with DAC's preamps, cables and poweramps. Even when the equipment is in the insanely expensive class it st... | |
| genesis digital lens My digital equipment includes a Theta Data III, Z-Systems RDP, Sigtech Room DSP, a Theta Pro Gen Va up graded to 24/96, a MSB Platinum DAC and a Digital Lens. I use Kimber Orchid and D-60 interconnects. I was disappointed in the Perpetual Technolo... | |
| Digital Coaxial Cable 75 ohms choices I also removed the feet and made a "sand tray" of lead shot in doubled heavy duty industrial polyethelene bags that are just the size of the bottom panel with just enough space open for the vent slots on the right side. The feet mount to the insid... | |
| Digital Coaxial Cable 75 ohms choices to redkiwi: One thing that improved my Data III as much or more than the Digital Lens was damping the outside panels with bags of lead shot. The Theta panels are so large that loud bass passages set them vibrating via coupling through the air. ( I... | |
| Digital Coaxial Cable 75 ohms choices I have a Theta Data III and a ProGen Va with the 96k upgrade. The Digital Lens is a noticable improvement. BTW I use Kimber Orchid interconnects and have a Sigtech and sometimes a Z-systems in the digital chain. | |
| Professional Analog Equalizers-Any Good? Analog equalizers will not do correct anything in the time domain which is most of the magic in the Sigtech. There have been several lengthy posts on this subject on this site. If you want significant correction that improves the overall sound in ... | |
| ++power cords with power conditioners? There have been several discussions of the PS audio power plants. A fair number of us who post on this sit, but not all, have reported good results. I have two and they made a large clearly noticable improvement in my system. I use them on top of ... | |
| BAT VK500 - Reliability & sound quality? Not to talk you out of the amp but VTL, ARC and Melos all make high power tube amps with current capacity and power supplies with total joules equal or greater to the VK-500. Slewing rates will be greater for the BAT design but how that impacts th... | |
| Record cleaning machine I owned a Kieth Monks years ago. It broke all the time. I replaced it with a VPI in 1988 which I still own and use all the ime with used records. | |
| Best amplfier for Dunlavy SC IV's My SC-V's sound great with high powered tube amps. I also have a Bryston 7Bst but on classical music I far prefer Melos Mono Blocks. I have also tried ARC VT-200 and CJ monoblocks. Both have excellent sound but it is a matter of taste. | |
| How Flat is Flat? The only way to use a Sigtech with vinyl is to to use an analog to digital converter since the Sigtech only works with a digital signal. Until next year the Sigtech unit will not accept a 96khz or 192khz digital signal but it does accept a true 24... | |
| Intro to Tube Amplifiers Try a Jolida. They have various models in your power/price ranfe. I've owned/own high end ARC, CJ and Melos tube equipment and I use a Jolida 502 in my bedroom system. You can get them used for $400-600. I personally think that you can't beat thei... | |

| Montana EPS or Dunlavy 4A's? I recently did a careful comparison of most of the speakers in the 10-20K range. It came down to the Vandersteen 5 and th Dunlavy SC-V. I picked the Dunlavy's but I believe it to be a matter of taste and the music I listen to (large scale late rom... |
