| Warm tube preamp for under 1000 I would also consider a BAT VK3i. It is right at your price range. | |
| Conrad Johnson's Sonographe SA-250 or the SA-400? I have tried alot of preamps but one of my favorites was the VK5i I just sold. The best combination I have had was the 5i and VK55 amp. I downsized my system somewhat and now I have a Cayin 265Ai Class A integrated amp. | |
| Conrad Johnson's Sonographe SA-250 or the SA-400? I had goodluck a few years ago with a CJ PF2L preamp. The SA400 and PF2 were my introduction into higher end stereo and I still remember how good they sounded. I have heard the PV10 preamps and did not care for them. | |
| Which amp to match Thiel 3.5 - Ayre, Bryston, CJ? Hevec1 has a good point. My buddy did have a Moon Celeste (not sure which one)and it was a great amp for the money. I was shocked at how good it sounded especially at that price point. | |
| Which amp to match Thiel 3.5 - Ayre, Bryston, CJ? I wasn't trying to be rude about the V3 just relaying an experience. Like everything in this hobby it is system/ears dependent ;)I would think the CJ would sound better. The 2200's are decent amps. | |
| Which amp to match Thiel 3.5 - Ayre, Bryston, CJ? I heard the V3 on a pair of 3.6's and did not like it at all. The V5 is a different story. The V3 sounded dull and lifeless and I also played it in my system. Just didn't like it and neither did my friend. He sold it quickly. The V5 is a much bett... | |
| Cayin A88T - My Favorite Amp Out of Numerous - FYI I have not heard the 88T but I am loving my Cayin 265Ai Class A solid state integrated. I may one of these days try a Cayin tube integrated. | |
| reasonable power chords - work with Bat VK600 I agree with Dedicatedaudio. I had several powercords on my VK200 and Golden Ref worked best. Evidently there is great synergy with BAT and Golden Ref. | |
| Questions about RCA 5751tubes 3. There is a reason the Sylvania's are higher I would imagine. They sound beter but that can be subjective? I had some RCA black plates and liked them ok but preferred GE black plates. I am talking about triple mica. | |
| Tyler Acoustics Loudspeakers I know Ty took a 300i in on trade and he liked it alot. | |
| Mark Levinson question There are some reviews on audioreview.com. This may help. | |
| Tyler Acoustics Loudspeakers Any BAT amp will match as I have had their ss and tube amps in my system. I have used several Levinson models, Krell FPB200, Plinius SA100MkIII to name a few with good results. Amps are a matter of choice but I tend to like an amp that is more neu... | |
| Tyler Acoustics Loudspeakers Do a search here for the D2's. I believe there is a review and plenty of information if you search. I have the D4's and love them. I have not heard VS speakers. His new line is easier to drive than his previous line so you won't need a megawatt am... | |
| Tyler Decade D2s: review The internal wiring maybe but Ty's crossovers are usually the best you can get. As far as the drivers I am sure he can use the SEAS Excel drivers but his new drivers were customed made and designed. I would call Ty and speak with him. | |
| Tyler Decade D2s: review I find the new line is quicker, punchier, and a tad more detailed while retaining smoothness. I have the D4 floorstanding monitors which are not even broken in yet and these speakers have alot more bass than I would have imagined. I don't think an... |
