| Why Not More Conversation about VAC? Dev,Yes, I've compared the Herron to my VAC, the Fosgate Signature, etc in my system, and in other's systems as well. There is something about the organic transparency and timing of the VTPH-2 that I have yet to find in any phono preamp. It works ... | |
| Why Not More Conversation about VAC? BTW, the tubes I put in the VAC 300.1a are the ken-rad vt 231 black glass. Like them a lot. | |
| Why Not More Conversation about VAC? Would be nice to have the 450 Statement monos. Doesn't get better than that...I'd settle for a 450S or even just one more 300.1a. Dev, I put in some back up Russian (new) tubes that were sent to me by Keith Herron for my VTPH-2 phono preamp, which... | |
| Why Not More Conversation about VAC? I am about to order Herbies tube dampers and i have brass weights on top of preamp for resonance control. Biggest difference on microphonics i experienced was trading out vac preamp phono tubes since i was experiencing low frequency hum/microphoni... | |
| Why Not More Conversation about VAC? Question...seems posts and advice when I called VAC points to putting a matched pair of 6sn7s into the middle two sockets on the 300.1a (v2 & v3). But the manual states that V1 and V2 should be transconductance matched pairs, and V3 and V4 sho... | |
| Magnepan 3.7's versus 20.1's? Good callout on bi-wire capability. | |
| Macintosh mc2301 vs VAC Phi 300.1.a I listened to my VAC 300.1a driving my Magnepans last night and that is exactly how I would describe it "fluid yet crystal clear....musical" | |
| Macintosh mc2301 vs VAC Phi 300.1.a bump...any comparisons? | |
| KCI Pure Gold and the benefits Just to poke on this thread. I've had the Silkworm+ in system for a few months now, connecting my VAC pre to VAC 300.1a amp. It is a marvelous interconnect. Agree with comments above about its musical nature, no artifacts, puts meat and timbre on ... | |
| Best tube rolling options for VAC Ren MkIII preamp I will say putting Ken Rad 6sn7s in the two outer tube locations of the 300.1a gives energy and low end presence without taking away from pristine, smooth clear highs this amp naturally offers. | |
| Magnepan 3.7 My Velodyne DD+15 blends perfectly with the 3.7s. A pair of DD+10s would be an even better choice. I bought mine from David Weinhart Designs in California....he's amazing.... | |
| Anyone heard the new Cary SA-500.1 Monoblocks? Bump for update from Rayooo on how the 500.1s sound especially relative to driving the 3.7s, and any comments on soundstage/imaging? | |
| Review: Magnepan Magneplanar 3.7 Speaker Received my 3.7s last week and have been listening to them just about every day. They are not broken in but these are the best speakers I've had in my system ever. They are the best Maggies I've heard yet. Coherent top to bottom without a tilted u... | |
| Magnepan 3.7's versus 20.1's? I am 9 feet from my 3.7s and it is fine. Definitely front row seats. | |
| Magnepan 3.7's versus 20.1's? I believe the 3.7 is Magnepan's current sweet spot and 20.1 is their statement speaker. Big enough room, wallet and amp then the "no regrets move" is the 20.1. Either would bring lots of musical enjoyment. Good luck and please update as you choose. |
