| Your Thoughts on the BAT VK-3i @kjweisner ... thanks for the post. I've had my VK-3i for almost 15 years and, in all that time, have not had a desire to upgrade. However, a'phile nervosa rears its ugly head from time to time, and I begin to wonder what component, if any, I sho... | |
| Your Thoughts on the BAT VK-3i FYI, the VK-3i uses four 6922 and two 6V6 tubes. There are no 6H30s, thank goodness. | |
| Nuvista Tubes - General George ... then what's the point of a hybrid design if the transistor buffer controls sound quality? | |
| Nuvista Tubes - General I have owned the MF Nu- Vista 3D CD player for about 16 years. It is really a wonderful piece of gear. The sound is very "natural," almost analog in nature and is not at all "syrupy." Pretty good for a metal encased micro-tube.As for the Nu-Vista... | |
| My SVS subwoofer will not turn on from auto mode This is a common problem with subs. Try turning up the volume on your receiver or turn the switch on the sub to "on" and then back to auto mode. | |
| Help ... Totally stuck (subwoofer topic) UPDATE ...As it turns out, both the xover and the phase needed to be re-set once I switched to using the sub's line out. I set the xover to 80Hz and phase to 40 degrees. Now, it sounds really awesome. Much greater headroom for the highs and mids, ... | |

| Help ... Totally stuck (subwoofer topic) Yep, both the xover and the phase needed to be re-set once I switched to using the sub's line out. I set the xover to 80Hz and phase to 40 degrees. Now, it sounds really awesome. Much greater headroom for the highs and mids, and the e110 really di... | |
| Help ... Totally stuck (subwoofer topic) Thanks. | |
| Help ... Totally stuck (subwoofer topic) If you mean xover frequency, yes. No meaningful difference. What really mystifies me is why the sub sounds better without the xover engaged. | |
| Help ... Totally stuck (subwoofer topic) Yogiboy ... I understand that would be the case IF I were running it in that configuration. Problem is, it sounds weak and lifeless when run that way. That's why I'm running the secound pre-out into the sub directly. The first pre-out runs into th... | |
| Speaker upgrade... Keep the Dunlavys. You’ll regret selling them. Upgrading for the sake of upgrading results usually in disappointment. Since you like the Dunlavys and are happy with them, I will quote the Allman Brothers ... "Don't mess up a good thing." | |
| Rythmik subwoofers? @bdp24 ... Well said! | |
| Rythmik subwoofers? @bdp24 ... At the time, I bought the L12 because the difference between it and the F12 seemed insignificant ... the F12 has a 400 watt amp vs the 300 watt of the L12, thereby providing an additional 1dB of sound for $400 more. Plus, I didn't thin... | |
| Rythmik subwoofers? @bdp24 ... just because the L12 is a budget model, doesn’t mean that it should be less reliable than the F12. Initially, I thought the L12 would be a good deal; I didn’t go for F12 because I didn’t need its bells and whistles. After the L12 failed... |
