| Opinions on the Mac MA 2275? Traded in a MA6900 for a MA2275. Much prefer the sound of tubes over transistors. Can leave as is or do some tube rolling with NOS. Highly recommended. | |
| Audio Research Ref 1 or LS25 MK2 or BAT 50 BAT 50. An easy upgrade path to the top 51SE, when you are ready, not so with the ARC products. There is no 'best' of those 3. System synergy, as always is important. | |
| difficult choice EC/BAT I have an all BAT system. BAT service is excellent and BAT has a feasible upgrade path for their products. Lastly, BAT products do well on the resale market. | |
| Schroeder arm mounting For those actually familiar with the Schroeder arms, there are no easily available arm boards. I'm seeking information on how those, who have the arms, managed with the mounting process on their tables. | |
| Tremendous RF problem -- phono stage is a radio What is your specific equipment and how close to a radio station tower do you live? | |
| Grado Reference vs Benz Glider and H2 Is you cartridge the Reference Reference or Statement Reference? | |
| Isoclean Fuses They are only available in slow-blow. | |
| BAT VK-P10SE w/Depth Charges & Manley Steelhead They are both superb, and different. I wouldn't describe the Manley sound as thin especially after rolling the 6922 tubes to NOS. Obviously the Manley has much more adjustment capability compared to the BAT. The Manley is an excellent linestage as... | |
| Magnum Dynalab 109 Khrys - Why do you think the 106 sounds better than the 108? Is the difference related to the use of more tubes rather than solid state stages? Thanks for your opinions. Ron Gurney | |
| Magnum Dynalab 109 $9000. MSRPCheck the Magnum Dynlab website for details. Haven't seen any reviews yet. | |
| ZYX Universe - Unipivot or Dual Gimbal arm Ahhh, now we can all hug :-) | |
| mcintosh owners McIntosh does not use the same bulbs in all its non-LED products. Some bulbs require replacement with soldering, others, as those in my C200 preamp are a snap to replace. They are mounted in a plastic housing which rotates and locks in. Check with... | |
| ZYX Universe - Unipivot or Dual Gimbal arm Thanks, Larry. Am I to understand then that the Airy 3 is more sensitive to which arm is being used, whether uni-pivot or gimbaled arm, and that the Universe is less dependent on the arm? | |
| trying to decide between Cary 303/300 and BAT CD Different price ranges, but if you go for the BAT D5SE, get it with the SuperPak option. Big difference as it is with all the BAT products with SuperPak. | |
| Aesthetix IO Mk II vs. BAT VK-P10SE w/ superpak I have to agree with Jfrech. Given your other BAT equipment, I would go with the BAT P10SE with Superpak and upgrade to either 75SE or 150SE amps. The P10SE, as Jfrech says, has the midrange magic and depth and the 75/150SE amp(s)are a huge upgrad... |
