| PS Audio PerfectWave DAC Upgrade I will be buying it! | |
| Velodyne DD Plus: New King of the Jungle? Yes two is the way to go. Just put a nice cloth tabletop on top of the second and tell your wife it is a new end table that happens to do double duty as sub. | |
| Velodyne DD Plus: New King of the Jungle? Sonicray,I now have the velodyne paired with magnepan 3.7 speakers and it opens up the mids and highs on those as well. Everything i have read says two subs L+R are better than one. | |
| Velodyne DD Plus: New King of the Jungle? Well said, Irvrobinson. I love my DD15+. I was surprised at how seamless it blends into mains and into room. I was shocked at how it provides not just a low end foundation but the big impact is it opens up the mids/highs/soundstage and space. I ju... | |
| best amp for Magnepan 3,7 I'm running my 3.7s with a VAC 300.1a (150 tube wpc). My room is 18x25 with pitched ceilings. No clipping, no distortion, no running out of steam -- tight present bass too. I don't like to listen at volumes that damage my hearing though. Another o... | |
| The search among the great ones - 20k+ speakers By range i meant 20-25k or 20-100k? | |
| The search among the great ones - 20k+ speakers I love my Magnepans. If I was building another system I would buy all Shindo gear including speakers. What price range are you targeting. | |
| Phono preamp under 1k new or used advice? Here is one for sale right now on audiogon for $650. Good deal:Musical Surroundings Nova with battery pack. | |
| Phono preamp under 1k new or used advice? I should clarify my inference -- The Herron placed first by a wide margin. Simaudio and PS Audio were fine units (I own a PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC/bridge and love it; they build great stuff). I read some articles where the reviewers thought the J... | |
| Phono preamp under 1k new or used advice? From what I've read the Jolida JD9 might be better, and Spearit Sound has it for sale at a good price ($500?) new on Audiogon right now. I auditioned the PS GCPH against SimAudio phono and Herron VTPH-1, and the PS Audio came in 3rd place....a bit... | |
| Headphone amp combo ideas? I really like my Beyerdynamic T1 with matching A1 headphone amp. I auditioned many headphones and amps. Another good amp is a used Musical Fidelity x-can (e.g., V3). | |
| Phono preamp under 1k new or used advice? Also Upscale Audio (and a private seller) have Herron VTPH-1 for sale in the 1400 dollar range on Audiogon. Another "keep it for life" phono preamp that will scale if you buy better table/cartridge/etc. | |
| Phono preamp under 1k new or used advice? If you can stretch, there is a Fosgate Signature Phono preamp for sale right now for $1499 on Audiogon. It is an amazing phono preamp. Will wipe the floor with any phono preamp 2-3k and under. I speak from experience as I auditioned multiple units... | |
| Why Not More Conversation about VAC? JWM, thanks and by the way I purchased a VAC preamp and amp partially due to the threads I've read here on Audiogon, including your's, so thanks, because I love my VAC gear, and think Kevin Hayes is superb with his service level. | |
| Good tube preamp for McCormack DNA 500??? I'll second the service level (and build quality) of VAC. I have a VAC preamp and amp and not only do they sound amazingly beautiful, Kevin has gone out of his way to answer my questions even when I had issues with a subwoofer giving feedback...he... |
