| CARDAS Fans: Golden vs. Neutral vs. Presence? Vinylmeister I used to have the Quadlinks. They are decent for the money but I would step up the Cardas chain or try something else like Harmonic Tech Magic Link or something more neutral sounding. The Quadlinks when I had them and I didn't realiz... | |
| Salk HT3 vs Tyler D2? I have never heard the Salks but have heard the D2's a couple weeks ago. The D2's do sound extremely good and are very efficient. They image great and the bass is clean, fast and punchy. | |
| Torus RM-20 vs Shunyata Vray Is there a conditioner that will go from riding a "Harley" to a bike that actually has performance...lol ;) | |
| Power Conditioners I agree with above post. RSA products are the real deal. I also like the Mongoose pc that is recommended. I have a Haley FYI. | |
| Used SS amp for $1K BAT VK200 | |
| Amp for Thiel CS6 Or a KSA100/200s | |
| Tyler Acoustics Decade D3M review I like my D4 floorstanding monitors alot. They are as you describe quick and punchy and lots of detail with plenty of extension with no listener fatigue whatsoever. | |
| Integrated Amp for Tyler Acoustic Linbrook Monitor Maybe a BAT VK3i and VK200 amp? | |
| Use of Power Conditioners vs. Direct into the Wall Mr. Jim just gave some excellent advice :) | |
| Integrated Amp for Tyler Acoustic Linbrook Monitor I think all of the above are good choices. I am currently driving my D4's with a Cayin 265Ai Class A integrated with great results. You might want to add a Cayin A88t tubed integrated to your list. Ty used to use Rogue, Audio Refinement, Jolida, a... | |
| placement of power conditioner Mine is to the side of the audio rack and sits on a piece of wood. The PC sits on cones. I think it performs better on a hard surface with some isolation. | |
| BAT amps solid state vs tube, sound much different I agree with the above posts. My VK200 sounded very good and I kept it longer than any ss amp. I then tried a VK55 and fell in love with it. It didn't have the bottom end slam the 200 did but the midrange and topend extension was to die for IMO. | |
| Thiel CS3.7 vs WP8? Luna thats what my buddy did but like I said he needs a higher powered tube amp to get the most out of the 3.7's. If you can afford to go this route then I would do it. It would be fun to switch out amps for different music :) | |
| Most musical integrated amp you have heard? My Class A solid state Cayin 265Ai isn't chopped liver. It might not cost as much as some of the ones mentioned above but I can say the build quality is right up there with the best. | |
| Thiel CS3.7 vs WP8? Cmalak has a very point. Tubes CAN get expensive in the higher wattages. The choice of interconnects and powercords also come in to play. Don't you just love this hobby...lol ;) |
