| Interesting AMP GTG Results. By "griffith" do you mean "Gryphon"? | |
| amplifier DB meters One more thing- if you listen to pop/rock, there will be no peaks and you will never need more power than you see on your meters. Why? Because the mastering engineer has basically compressed the recording to have less than 5dB of dynamic range. Pl... | |
| Aria phono preamp - Mike Elliot blog Jafox,Whoa there big boy! Just giving my impressions of the blog. I did not mean to disrepect the guy, heck I've owned and liked his stuff. It just seemed to me that he did not have the design very far along when he started the blog and that he is... | |
| Aria phono preamp - Mike Elliot blog Yes, Anticipating production to commence at the end of first quarter, 2005.I've been following this. With all due respect, it seems like the guy is winging, it. I mean its good to get the detailed description of the design process, but reading the... | |
| Is There any Truly "High End" Integrated Amp? I was at CES and saw that Graaf is introducing a new tube integrated. Looked and sounded very nice. May want to try the Gryphon as well. | |
| Anyone going to CES/THE? I'll be there Saturday. Never been, but always wanted to go. How long does it take to go through the whole of Alexis park? | |
| Bat VK-250 or Parasound JC-1 monos? I've got a VK-200 and Cary CD 303/200. The combo is fantastic, so I can see why you liked the 250 and 303/300. The BAT is the best amp I have heard, but I have not heard many in its price range so I don't want to be a know-it-all. I think with the... | |
| Which Audio Research gears are classics? I like the D-75A, got one from a friend and restored it with 99.99% original parts. Its 70WPC and all tube, baby! Generates a lot of heat but it has been reliable; weighs a ton. Have not heard much about this amp here, but its very very nice, grea... | |
| Entry level tube pre with pass thru and remote? Sonic frontiers line 1 preamp, around $800-900.And you will get to try out tubes. | |
| Good preamp for Vandersteen and McCormack I have the 2Ce and ran them with a BAT VK-200 amplifier, an Aleph 3, a counterpoint SA-100 and an old Adcom. Preamp is a sonic frontiers line 2 (tube). Best results were using the Line 2 with the BAT VK-200, which seems similar to your situation. ... | |
| S. Cal. POWER ...?? I live in Southern Cal. I bought a cheapie panamax that has an LED display of voltage, I noticed big voltage drops during the day but was getting regular voltage at night, even with no equip. plugged in. So yes, the power is not very good here. Yo... | |
| Anyone heard of DK design group? Cover On Backwards?For something people spent a lot of time on, I can't help but think that the cover in all the advertising and pictures is on BACKWARDS. Think about it, the vent holes are over the transformers, rather than the hot tubes. Is it j... | |
| Sonic Frontiers- Quality and Reliability? Yes, I have owned a Line 2 for over 4 years now, wow has it been that long? Reliability has been excellent, the power supply is completely overbuilt, construction is heavy duty, all connectors are high quality. The only issue I have had is that so... | |
| Old Classic Receivers: A Mistake to Buy? As I sit here in my company's office building, staring at my 1970s Audio Research D75A, I can understand what those who posted above are talking about. My amp is a 75 WPC tube amp, and I mean 17 tubes and you've got a nice tube amp that performs e... | |
| Best Amp for 2000$ or lower. New or Used Get a BAT VK-200 for about $1650. Great powerful 100 W SS amp, runs very hot and is heavily biased. Best amp for the price range (probably with the Plinius) that I have seen. |
