| Oyaide Tunami & Acrolink 6N-P4030PC... Try VH Audio or Audio Excellence Az. | |
| What PC best for Modwright SWL 9.0SE Preamp? The VH Audio AirSine (I'd recommend Oyaide or Furutech Gold connectors) is much better than the Shunyata Python Alpha and VD Nite 1 and is what I use on my SWL 9.0SE. I haven't heard the other cords. | |
| Oyaide Tunami & Acrolink 6N-P4030PC... The Acrolink P4030 is available with any of the Oyaide connectors (Palladium over Gold, Direct Gold, or Rhodium over Silver) through Audio Excellence Az.It offers very good value.Don't know anything about the Tunami. | |
| Isolation for speakers on spikes Try Symposium platforms. Spikes are unnecessary with them. | |
| Floorstanding Speaker Stands - which one? I've used Symposium platforms under two different pairs of dynamic spkrs. to good effect (tighter bass, more focused sound in general). Currently using Ultra platforms under Aural Acoustics Model Bs. I have no experience with horns IMS but the Sym... | |
| Anyone tried Acrolink power cables from Japan ? I had the Acrolink with Oyaide Direct Gold connectors in my system for a few days courtesy of Alan Kafton and found it to be very good indeed.In comparison with a VH Audio AirSine (also with Oyaide Gold connectors) it has a lower noise floor (blac... | |
| Mississippi John Hurt Vanguard remastered (in 20 bit digital with DCS equipment) and released a three CD set of his three studio LPs for them.Vanguard 181/3. Excellent sound and superb music. | |
| Need CD interconnect advice. VH Audio Pulsars - $200 new. | |
| IC's between Power Amp and Pre Amp Paul, hi.I am now using the Spectrums for all connections. At first I had one pair each of Spectrums, Quattro Fils and X-2s. I tried each pair with each other pair in each position. (Sorry for the awkward phrasing: it's late).I found the X-2s to b... | |
| IC's between Power Amp and Pre Amp VH Audio Spectrum (copper). $400/pair direct with a 60 money back guarantee. I can't imagine you will return them.Incredibly transparent and open.In my system (Modwright SWL 9.0SE, Modwright Sig. Truth Platinum Sony 999ES, CJ MV60SE, and Aural Aco... | |
| Tube pre-amps with Home Theater bypass... Modwright SWL 9.0 SE ($2200). A matching phono stage should be out soon. Compares favorably to much more expensive linestages. There are a couple of dealers in Washington State and Modwright is based there as well. | |
| tube amps or amps between $1000 and $2000 Conrad Johnson MV60 (EL34s) or MV60SE (6550s) depending on what you listen to. The latter is better for orchestral and rock. They go for $1500-1600 used.Quicksilver Mono 100s (KT88s). Both are superb amps.Third choice would be a Rogue Stereo 90 (K... | |
| Used Preamp for $2000 to $3000 For that price you can get a new Modwright SWL 9.0 SE (with Bybee and Blackgate upgrades) hybrid linestage.It is incredibly open, quiet, transparent, dynamic and three dimensional. Rivals linestages costing far more. Check out the reviews at "6 Mo... | |
| krell hts2 or modwright swl 9.0SE for pre The Modwright is a state of the art linestage. I haven't heard the Krell but I can't imagine any pre/pro coming close in sound to the SWL 9.0SE.Good luck,Rob | |
| Tube Amp Recommendation Quicksilver, CJ, Rogue are all good. I find the first two more refined than the latter. CJ probably has the best midrange. |
