| VAC Signature mk2 vs Purity Audio Ultra? Good move, Dragon. I love my Purity Ultra GT preamp. My experiences with Bill Baker and Joe Jurzec also leave me well-satisfied, as they have proven to be top-notch guys. My big 4-Ohm speakers pointed me in the solid state amp direction, and I cho... | |
| Do 45 RPM records need higher anti-skate setting? Omsed: I am hoping that you do not become disenchanted with the students in the front of the room who are poking you during your teachings. I am the quiet student in the back who is soaking up as much as I can from you. Keep it up as long as you c... | |
| Romulus CD player-- Yes, I have had my Romulus since August 2012 and am very happy with it. A lengthy break-in is mandatory, as mine didn't start sounding great until after the 50-hour mark. Great imaging, texture, natural reproduction of instruments are the first th... | |
| powering two pairs of Dahlquist DQ10s I had a nice pair of DQ-10s in the early-to-late 1980s and really liked them. About 1983, I installed the Randall Research modified crossover and drivers with nice results. With today's crossover components, wire and drivers, I would imagine that ... | |
| VAC Signature mk2 vs Purity Audio Ultra? I own the Purity GT Ultra, and I love it. I have heard the VAC in a different system, but never did an A/B comparison to the Purity. The design of the Purity does allow the full-function remote control capability that made me take a hard look at i... | |
| Tube DAC Recommendations Just following up with my listening impressions after further break-in and tube swapping. Amperex 6922 and Telefunken 12AX7 have made my Romulus a virtual match for the sonics of the rest of my system. More liveliness and emphasis on the high freq... | |
| Sota Star Sapphire suspension question Three of the four corners of the floating sub-chassis have individual weights attached. The fourth corner carries the armboard/arm and contains the pocket underneath for the lead shot, to be added in an effort to balance all 4 corners level with t... | |
| Please tell me about the Coda Technologies 15.0 Hi, Joe: I am not familiar with the power/current reqirements of the SF Evolutions (I do see that they are two-way), but the 15.0 will give you plenty of everything you need, plus a bunch of room to grow. This amplifier makes music with AUTHORITY.... | |
| Please tell me about the Coda Technologies 15.0 John is right. It just so happens that both the VAC and the Purity are transformer coupled at the outputs and can easily handle this condition. That is why they were on my short list! I run mine balanced, and it sounds superb. Even so, I doubt sho... | |
| Please tell me about the Coda Technologies 15.0 Hi, Joe: Yep, I have the CODA 15.0 and love it. I will be happy to give you more information via phone if my comments here don't suffice. Try to send me a private message if that is the case, and I'll email you my phone number. First, I have 4-ohm... | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? Aesthetix Romulus! Following a lengthy break-in period and installing some NOS tubes, this unit sounds very, very much like my analog rig. I am extremely pleased. | |
| Big, big room -- which 10-20k speakers? I hope you guys are listening to Ralph (Atmasphere). His comments are exactly correct and can only be stated with such confidence when a person has lived with a good system in a large room. The comment about shouting is a common one with my wife a... | |
| Big, big room -- which 10-20k speakers? OK, guys, I'm chiming in again here. One day I will try to post photos of my room. I have read many helpful replies from Atmasphere over the years, and I find it hard not to go along with most all of the things he says. And considering his exposur... | |
| Big, big room -- which 10-20k speakers? My room is 30'x30'x 12', and my Tyler Acoustics Woodmeres do a superb job of filling the entire room with full, rich sound. My listening chair is 18 feet from the face of speakers. I have found the Woodmeres to be very listenable for long periods,... | |
| Choosing a Solid State Class A/B integrated amp I was very happy with my CODA CSi integrated amp. Plenty of power with nice sonics. Also fully remote-controlled. Only reason for selling was moving to separates and a CODA 15.0 amp. |
