| Thiel CS3.7 vs WP8? My buddy has tried his 3.7's with a BAT VK55. This amp sounds wonderful but the 3.7's need more power to get the most out of them. He currently uses a Krell FPB-200. I believe Thiel recommends and uses Krell amps. Thiel is located right here in Le... | |
| Thiel CS3.7 vs WP8? I have heard the 3.7's and they are MUCH MUCH better than the 3.6's. I am not a huge fan of most Thiels but the 3.7's and the 7 series are very nice sounding. I have not heard the Wilson's but from what I gather reiterates what Stevecham says. All... | |
| Adcom GFA-5800 Opinions I used to have a GFA-5500 many moons ago. It is much better than a receiver but for not a whole lot more money you can get much better. Try a Conrad Johnson SA-250 or SA-400 for starters. Night and day difference. | |
| Is high end Power Conditioners worth the extra $$$ Thanks Shellie. | |
| What power cord for BAT VK-300x SE integrated? Consider a Cardas Golden Ref. I had one on my VK200 with very good results. I was surprised to be honest. I also had decent luck with Shunyata. | |
| Is high end Power Conditioners worth the extra $$$ Shellie...Have you tried Running Springs? | |
| BAT VK-5i with Pass Labs X250 I used to have a VK5i and tried it with a buddies X250. No problems whatsoever. Personally I didn't care for the 250 overall because it was too transparent or sterile for my speakers/tastes. The bass was to die for :) The VK5i given my budget was ... | |
| ML 380 upgradeable? I doubt it would be worth it. You would be better off selling the 380 and purchasing a 380s. | |
| Heard McIntosh 275 For The First Time. I used to own a Plinius SA100Mk3. It is a very nice amp and has tube like sound. In Class A mode is very sweet but I lost some bass output when in this mode. After awhile this amp just didn't have me toe tapping and found it to be quite sterile an... | |
| Audio Research Amp Shootout I think it was a good comparison and Dodgealum was lucky to able to "compare" different models of ARC amps. Not many get that opportunity have buddies that live close by and to be able to do this. Good post :) | |
| Is high end Power Conditioners worth the extra $$$ The best conditioners I have heard are the Running Springs line. | |
| Mark Levinson No. 334 vs 23.5 I did obtain the schematics thru Levinson when I had my amp repaired. They were very helpful and I contacted them several times and they always returned my calls if I had to leave a voicemail or left a message with someone. They told me what exact... | |
| Mark Levinson No. 334 vs 23.5 You don't have to get it repaired at the factory for goodness sakes. There are plenty of other avenues to take for repairs. It sucks that you had to pay that much for repair and Harman is not supporting their products but its obvious your are jade... | |
| Mark Levinson No. 334 vs 23.5 If you can buy parts from Madrigal then I would have a reputable repairmen replace the parts instead of sending back to factory. I had a ML 29 repaired by a reputable shop a few years ago. He replaced the caps and I can't remember the other part f... | |
| Mark Levinson No. 334 vs 23.5 BRF I have to ask, how does the 334 lack soul and emotion? I have heard it and used to own a 27.5. Personally I liked the 334 better and thats not saying the 27.5 sounded like chopped liver. I thought the 300 series just sounds a bit smoother and ... |
