| Can anyone help me to decide which pre-amp is better ? To the BAT VK-5i fans: were some of them available with a built in phono stage? Thanks. | |
| Why so many Flaky Buyers? Something that Driver said about requesting in-person pickup of an item & then never hearing from them again struck me......Usually when I'm buying a used component sight unseen I request the Serial# from the seller. That is so I can call the ... | |
| Why so many Flaky Buyers? I think Jvia said it really well. I guess when you sell used "stuff" yourself, you have to be prepared to possibly put in a lot of work, & probably deal with a certain amount of jerks. Like, you could sell your components to a used stereo deal... | |
| MD108 VS. MD102 Hi, how old is the MR-71? Are there photos of one anywhere on the web? I have a FT101-A that I really like......am I correct in assuming however that it's probably inferior to the MR-71 & the more expensive MD's? And what about the Fanfare? Th... | |
| Is there anyone who came back from tubes to SS? Nope! I use both Audio Research & VTL amps & pre-amps. Only thing is, you do want to turn them off when not using so as to not use up the tubes prematurely. To me SS is best in a 2nd or 3rd system where convenience is more of a factor....i... | |
| Best Used tube Preamp 1700-- 2500: advice needed Craig, do you have a phone # or is there a website for Convergent? And is the phono section on your Signature MM or MC? Also, how would you compare the Ultimate to the MK III......(I did read the comparision in the 8/99 S'phile). And, in going for... | |
| Best cleaning fluid procedures with VPI HW16.5?? I really appreciate all the feedback......I have to admit I didn't know what I was getting into tho when I bought my 16.5. (I actually bought it to save time over just getting an Orbitrac--little did I know!) Thanks, Steve | |
| Best used preamp for around $1000. . . The VTL 2.5TL is excellent......try to get the V.2. version....call VTL with the serial # of one you're considering to find out. | |
| Upgrade VTL 2.5 pre to CJ P14 or ARC??? Well, I had thought of just getting a used VTL 5.5....I didn't mention in my original post that I need another pre-amp for my 2nd system.....so it's either get a "better" (hopefully) pre-amp for my main system I described above (& putting the ... | |
| Upgrade Rega P25 to VPI Aries? Advice? Thanks for the followups to my question. It sounds like from the comments here that I would probably not get that dramatic an improvement with the Aries over the Rega, esp. when the Aries is easily 3 times the price. I might start researching a di... | |
| Better B&W Matrix or Nautilus? I have a set of Matrix 802 S3's & love them; one of the few components I rarely think about changing. However I would be interested to know if Krellnot or anyone else has any comparisons with the M802's & N805's. |
