| Tube Rolling on BAT Preamplifiers Check out the many threads here on this subject. 6H30-DR tubes are considered the best. | |
| BAT 75 SE vs. CAT JL2 or JL2 Sig. Point taken, Maril555. Some Supratek owners raved about the change with V-caps as well. Not sure how long .."listening to for awhile.." is. V-caps do require breaking in. Different strokes....... | |
| Graham Phantom damping fluid level. Sirspeedy - Hope you savor every minute of setting up and using your new Phantom. You certainly have waited long enough. Welcome to the Phantom club. Keep us informed of your findings, as you kindly did with the 2.2 Regards. | |
| BAT 75 SE vs. CAT JL2 or JL2 Sig. I second what David has said about modifying the BAT 75SE(150SE). He has listed the mods in order of increasing difficulty - easiest first. He has advised and helped me make the mods to my 150SE amps. If one is not intimadated by a soldering iron,... | |
| Graham Phantom damping fluid level. The bearing cap upgrade came out about 9/06. | |
| Koetsu Urushi+SMEV anti skating setting help I checked with SME regarding the amount of anti-skating force which is actually applied in the SME V when setting the A/S dial to the same number as the VTF dial. I was told that the amount of force is about 1/12 that of the VTF. That should give ... | |
| Koetsu Urushi+SMEV anti skating setting help Agondgd - Setting the 'numbers' on the VTF and antiskating dials does not mean that the forces are equal. I think SME has designed the V so that when set that way, the anti-skating force is a percentage of the VTF, increasing as the arm moves towa... | |
| audio research sells out good or bad ? Good or bad for whom? Good for William Z. and the company principals. Not necessarily bad for audiophiles who love ARC products. See what the future holds :) | |
| Koetsu Urushi+SMEV anti skating setting help Agree with Nsgarch. If the SME V is mounted correctly (proper distance from the spindle in the rest position), dialing in the same number on the anti-skating dial as on the VTF dial will provide the proper amount of anti-skating. Those dials are s... | |
| Tube sound with no tubes I have to agree with Ontjesr and the others above. I had a McIntosh 6900 SS integrated amp. Sold it to get the McIntosh 2275 tubed integrated amp. For my ears, big difference in sound - tubes over solid state. The bonus plan is that with the 2275,... | |
| Mac 275 questions........ Ontjesr - Thanks for that info. From what you say, if one does not use the phono section and wants to get the best sound, one should use the best NOS 12AT7's, and use some plain new production 12AX7's. Any suggestions on NOS 12AT7's from your expe... | |
| Calling on B.A.T. VK-P10SE owners Goldorak and Piedpiper - The BAT P10SE has separate RCA and XLR inputs. When one is using the RCA inputs, all you have to do is connect pins 1 and 3 of each XLR input. The numbers are marked on the back of the XLR input. These "U" shaped pins are ... | |
| Calling on B.A.T. VK-P10SE owners Insert the "U" shaped plugs so that pins 1 and 3 are connected.Happy Holidays. | |
| McIntosh MC275 vs Bat VK-60: Anyone compared? Allow me to opine about both, as I currently have both.Actually I have BAT monoblock 150SE's (in an all BAT system) and Mac monoblock 275 IV's (in a second system). When they were the best BAT tube amps, I had monoblock 60's. I have not had any pr... | |
| Rowland Synergy IIi vs BAT VK51se???? BAT products have great synergy. If you go with the 150SE's, get the 51SE. Great combination. |
