| VAC and LAMM VAC is untouchable in its mids and highs. I have a 300.1a and the detail retrieval, refinement, and smooth nature of the mids/highs is best I've heard. The lower registers are there, just not very pronounced. Very deliberate and tight as can be, b... | |
| What to put under my VAC AMP/ PREAMP?? Resurrecting the thread on ultralinear versus triode. I listened my first two months (received the VAC gear this summer) in ultralinear mode. Just borrowed a Decware Torii Mk III 25 wpc amp to see how it sounded in my system. More body/heft, silki... | |
| Sony SCD XA5400ES tube rolling? I just read the exceptional (balanced, informative, non-hyped) review in july Positive Feedback. Where is best source to buy mullard and sophia tubes, and for a tube rolling neophyte is there a particular version/flavor/spec of those i should grav... | |
| What is your most beautiful component? Great post, Mapman! | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 Hey rfogel8 I see you own and appreciate the triplanar arm. I am just now in receipt of an atma sphere 208 (modded empire table) that comes with a triplanar vii uii arm. Glad to hear it is a dynamic lively arm! | |
| would the Sony SCD 5400 Ex make a good transport? Thanks, JWM. I specifically picked the 300.1 so i could pick up a second in a year or two. | |

| would the Sony SCD 5400 Ex make a good transport? Jwm, thanks for the sound counsel. Do you recommend any place in particular to buy the tubes for the Sony? I auditioned power cords on the sony transport and power supply and went with audience e powerchords. I am pretty happy with harmonic techno... | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 A few months later and I am still amazed at how incredible the Modwright 5400 sounds. Especially on redbook CDs and xrcds. I can listen to this and enjoy it next to my vinyl rig that costs many multiples more. A liitle more tonal roundness in viny... | |
| would the Sony SCD 5400 Ex make a good transport? Am playing the Sony through (XRCDs, CDs and SACDs...prefer sonics in that order) my new VAC gear. I have to believe the Modwright Sony is the most value for the buck I've ever received from a piece of audio gear. Amazing how good this sounds -- no... | |
| What is your most beautiful component? toss-up between Clearaudio Innovation Wood turntable and VAC 300.1a amp (with the tubes running and lights off) | |
| Want new phono amp, what should I buy? I've been very happy with Herron vtph-2 mm/mc phono preamp. A search on audiogon will show it has a cult following. | |
| Just heard a Clearaudio Innovation Wood.And WOW I have a clearaudio innovation wood. Tough to match speed stability and quietness for 3k with arm. Used market may be route to go (used Artemis Labs or Brinkmann) | |
| would the Sony SCD 5400 Ex make a good transport? I have the 5400 modified by Dan Wright at ModWright. I never heard the stock 5400, but can tell you my ModWright 5400 competes with my 20k vinyl rig and does not sound edgy or bright in the least. He has a new mod coming up that will allow you to ... | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 Dfk0I am using the HT Magic Link 2 cable(s) between 5400es and preamp. I have both the xlr and rca versions connected to compare. The xlr sound better -- quiter and a little more open...obviously more gain as well. I think the Harmonic Technology ... |
