| Von Schweikert VR4-5 Speaker Cables If you want the absolute best sound from your Von Schweikert, you need to run to your dealer and purchase the Masterbuilt cables. VS swears by them. I believe they run around 8-10K per meter pair, although I am sure the dealer will give you a 5-1... | |
| DC Offset Blocker/Killer - where to buy in the USA I would tell the dealer you are returning everything involved for a full refund unless they do as you ask. Sounds like they are jerking you off with no happy ending. | |
| Jadis JA-80: Tubes and speakers. Did you try your speakers on the different impedance taps on the amp? The EL34 tubes will give a richer and thicker midrange. I am not a fan of the KT120 tubes as I feel they impart a bit of grainyness into the sound. I would go with the Gold ... | |
| Are DAC's overpriced? I am sure the Mac pre is better than the Parasound P6. Doesn’t sound like a good move to me. I owned Parasound, a Halo Integrated. While it was ok for the price, it didn’t move me the way the Mac integrated did. The Parasound had less body to ... | |
| Cable recommendation for Krell & Vandersteen Vandersteen recommends and uses Audioquest cables in their demos. | |
| Used Market Savings vs. The Dealer Experience @jafant...…..I remember Jack when he was at Images Sight & Sound in Northampton, Ma. I bought a brand new McCormack DNA1 from him. Stupidly, I sold it for a Classe15 amp at another dealer. Hey, I was much younger and less wise in audio. | |
| 3k Budget for Cartridge, Phono-Pre, and Cables - Recommendations Please His Marantz turntable is the same as one of the Clearaudio products, what will he gain with the Scout 1.1? Do you really think he will like a unipivot arm? | |
| Used Market Savings vs. The Dealer Experience All my recent purchases were from the same dealer. I purchased 6 McIntosh pieces of equipment this year, all from Audio Classics. They treat you so well, just like family. I deal exclusively with Mike Sastra who is the VP of Audio Classics. He alw... | |
| Used Market Savings vs. The Dealer Experience @jafant...…………………….I really don’t know. Jack Tozzi was still selling off the rest of their equipment after they officially closed. He was a great guy. The best deal I ever got in all of audio was an exhibition stock (printed on the box) of an Esot... | |
| Higher Efficiency Speakers fdottore……………………I had a pair of the Von Schweikert VR33 which are the same but with the lesser quality crossover and not set up for bi-wiring. One of the worst speakers I ever owned. I got sucked in by the ad that a 3750.00 speaker sounds as goo... | |
| How good's your hearing Did it ever occur to you people that some people, myself included, do not like the sound of Class D? There is no need for me to give my reasons, I just don't like it and many others feel the same way. | |
| Which amp will cause a larger increase in electric bill? I don't believe those are close to current Class A amps and they probably do draw a lot of current on idle. They are the least efficient of all amps. I had an Odyssey Stratos extreme class AB amp for 5 years which cost about 30.00 a month to run... | |
| How good's your hearing I will probably get flamed, but I agree with you George. I have stated many times of the 5 Class D amps I heard, none of them would make me want to buy them. Course, I'm a Mac guy and like their house sound. I still think they aren't ready for ... | |
| Help- Review on Phono Stage Never heard it but a tube preamp for 400.00, I wouldn't expect much. | |
| Power conditioner , Re-generator.....for Spectral DMA 150 / 180 Power amplifiers Why not try it and judge for yourself? I think Spectral would be best at answering your question. Anything else is just a guess. |
