| Merlin VSM-Mx with super BAM I was very impressed with Martin Dewulf's recent review in Bound for Sound. He captures the reasons why I (and many other Merlin owners) find the Merlin VSM-Mxe to be one of the all-time great speakers that has and will continue stand the test of ... | |
| Merlin Upgrade Experience I was very impressed with Martin Dewulf's recent review in Bound for Sound. He captures the reasons why I (and many other Merlin owners) find the Merlin VSM-Mxe to be one of the all-time great speakers that has and will continue stand the test of ... | |
| Joule Preamps? Well, I love the Joule. I have sold the Placette; which in no way means the Joule is better than the Placette - it was and is a great preamp, but with my amp and speakers, and my ears, I like the more fleshed out sound provided by the tubes in the... | |
| $40.000 speaker advise. Check out my list What is the size of your room. Most of those speakers need a lot of space. If you are committed to the ML, I would think the Verity line would work very well with SS and provide some added musicality. I love the Avalon line, but I would make a mov... | |
| New Accustic Arts V3 Tube Dac anyone heard? The V3 does not accept USB, is that coorect? | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE In August '06 I mentioned the Merlin VSM-MX, well they must be keepers and I replaced them with the VSM-MXe lead free version, which is a signficant improvement. I agree with sburton's comments 100%. If they were twice the size with three times th... | |
| Poll - Active vs. Passive preamp I have enjoyed both (recent actives CAT SL1, Lamm LL2, and Placette Active). I tried the Placette Passive and it was remarkably good and competed with the CAT and Lamm - a great deal for the price - dead silent and transparent. I then tried the Pl... | |
| CAT versus Berning John, got your e-mail, thanks for all the interesting ideas. | |
| quicksilver v4 monoblocks I agree on the older QS, and somewhat more tubey then the V4s. I no longer own QS, but I'm a big fan of both the product and the straightforward approach to design and promotion taken by Mike Sanders. That being said, Ralph Karsten's amps are well... | |
| McIntosh Integrated One more question, how are tubes biased with the 2275? | |
| CAT versus Berning Tubegroover, you are right abou the CAT, but boy is it hot in summer, one reason I got the ARS, which in terms of synergy, is really ideally matched with the Merlins - I can't see changing my speakers any time soon, or until Bobby figures out some... | |
| McIntosh Integrated Does the 2275 come with KT88 or 6550? Is their a preference for one tube over the other? | |
| McIntosh Integrated Ok. It seems that it is between the 6900 and 2275. I assume that some of you have purchased on or the other auditioned both, and I would like feedback on that comparison (like Foster_9s). Another option would be to go for the MC252 to use with my ... | |
| quicksilver v4 monoblocks Another excellent choice. Are you speakers appropriate for OTL? I think you could love both. | |
| quicksilver v4 monoblocks They are powerful, great, great bass, and magical midrange, which is the trademark of QS amps. I have never heard anyone say anything bad about QS, look and search. I compared them with my CAT JL2 which are among the very best P/P tubes amps in th... |
