| Vincent Audio SV-500 Arriving Today I came within a sneeze of buying their top preamp from Audio Advisor a couple of weeks ago, and then at the last minute, I decided on an Audio Note Kits EL34 integrated instead. I'm still curious about that preamp though... | |
| Vincent Audio SV-500 Arriving Today I think it will spank the Denon's butt and make it run crying home to Mommy. Whether you want the more powerful one depends on your speakers I guess. Seriously, I don't have one and haven't heard it, but I have read such high praise about their am... | |
| Television technology - where are we? I think it's safe to go with Samsung. I have 3, including a 75" I bought a few months ago. Great picture and reliability. Some say the OLED can't be beat, and they do look very good, but they also have a more limited dynamic range, and they aren't... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions jcarcopo,Well said! Another know-nothing who presumes to criticize a talented designer. | |
| Preamp no longer makes a difference after caps and wire I guess this brings up the old issue of active pre or passive pre...or no pre! Everyone has a different opinion of course, and many listeners seem to think that the more that you can eliminate form the signal path the better. I have tried nothing ... | |

| RSL 4200 vintage speakers technical info please If at first you don't succeed, ask, ask again! Unless the speakers are unusually power hungry it should be ok. | |
| RIP, Dr John I feel bad for all of his fans, but I never "got him". An acquired taste for sure. | |
| Anyone else notice rating scales are getting inflated? Yes jmsky! I notice all the time...and I call 'em out on it! I mention it in the "ask seller a question" so that everyone can see it, not privately. Some actually thank me and change it, but more often they ask me if I'm interested in buying it. S... | |
| Worth of current system Including a couple of pair of small monitors that I only use occasionally, I'm a little over $15k.John | |
| Apogee Scintilla Power If you don't want to go money-crazy with brands like Block, look into Magnus. They have some really powerful and well built amps that have been well reviewed. Then there's Mac of course, but I realize that is a polarizing subject... | |
| Your vote: Most Useless Audio Adjective "Neutral." It has to be the worst and most overused. | |
| Has Anyone Heard the new version of the Tekton Impact yet? Hmmm...I'm really surprised that this design isn't using the 7 tweeter circle, because I though that was supposed to be where the magic in the design was. I was obviously wrong. | |
| How many of us are truly satisfied with their systems? I agree with mazian. I am happy with my system, but am always planning what I think will be improvements. I don't let that get in the way of my enjoyment though. Once upon a time I did. |
