| Manufacurers I have known.... 2 Bobby Palkovic Nope. Can't beat OTL with VSMs (or other speakers that can be well driven by tubes and OTLs in particular) IMHO more triode tubes running Class A is a better tradeoff that having to use a transformer:) | |
| Manufacurers I have known.... 2 Bobby Palkovic The Gran Fila will be interesting. More power, but more tubes - a tradeoff perhaps. The Merlin VSMs with the Fila sounded pretty darn good with its 30 watts and two output tubes per channel. If you can double [?] the power without sacrifice that w... | |
| 5 legendary speakers? Perhaps Snell Type A - on short list anyway. | |

| Manufacurers I have known.... 2 Bobby Palkovic Rleff, besides what Clio9 will say about Roger;s comments, you might also want to google -" John Dunlavy Speaker Cable" very interesting perspective from a scientifically centered audiophile that perhaps spoke truth to "power". | |
| Nagra plp versus CAT ultimate mk 2 OP, dynamic and clean -- yes that too describes the CAT. Can't imagine not being happy with any of the choices mentioned:) Local product support, might drive your decision. Good luck. | |
| Nagra plp versus CAT ultimate mk 2 I think Jafox got it precisely. For tonal colors, I would look at the Joule preamps. I love both the CAT and the Joule, but between the two the Joule gives you more of what you are looking for, but both are world-class preamps that anyone could be... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Yup, and well above the 12pf/ft of the Cardas, which is why I probably heard no difference between the 3ft and 6ft versions, and as Clio9 mentions, they are of course superduperlitz:) | |
| Manufacurers I have known.... 2 Bobby Palkovic Very entertaining, and a real BRAIN:) I suspect John Dunlavy was a similar type of straight shooter - I suspect him and Roger read the same science on cables. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I must admit that difference between cables simply don't jump out at me - though I did buy Cardas GR just because it is often recommnded with my speakers (Merlin VSMs) - I do know they are about the lowest capacitance cable on the market (12pf/ft)... | |
| Manufacurers I have known.... 2 Bobby Palkovic Anyone meet the elusive Roger Modjeski face to face? With hour + conversations I feel I have, but rarely goes to shows, so.... I can tell you if Roger ever wrote a book on High-end B.S. it would be a lot fun to read and argue about. He is fasciant... | |
| Manufacurers I have known.... 2 Bobby Palkovic Start with Pilsner Urquell; of you make it past that..... | |
| Manufacurers I have known.... 2 Bobby Palkovic OTL and VSMs - made for each other:) | |
| Manufacurers I have known.... 2 Bobby Palkovic Larry, thanks for the sharing your personal experiences about Bobby. I am one of those folks who wanted smaller speakers without too much sacrifice in bass, and not knowing anything about electronics, it seems that we can thank Bobby's brain for f... | |
| Preamp upgrade - Shindo or VAC? Chatta, that is true, but hardly ever happens anymore:) |
