| Attn: Ayre v-5xe owners I also agree with all that the V5xe is a great amp and the V1xe is even better. Also note that these amps as all Ayre stuff are, are balanced circuits, and sound even better in balanced mode than single ended. I therefore recommend the also wonder... | |
| tube pre amp plus solid state power amps? I would power up the tube stuff first, than the solid state stuff so no unwanted turn on transients will destroy your speakers. | |
| Cardas Cross vs. Kimber Silver Streak In my system any Cardas cable simply chokes it with no depth, or air. It also adds a grainy texture. This is in direct opposition to what the manufacturer of my components tell me...just shows to go ya. | |
| W4S STI-1000 what IC and power chord? I made my own and couldn't be happier. Check VHAudio.com. I am using Accrolink cable with Oyeida 046 or Furutech F1 plugs at each end. Some of my components like the Oyeida better, some like the Furutech better...if I switch them around, they don'... | |
| Power Conditioners I have tried many, many power conditioners, and have never met one I liked. They all do change the sound...and one might change the sound to something that pleases you. However, I have found that although one or two might do some things write, the... | |
| VPI Scout Rear Stub Measurement Do you know that there is a movable weight on the inside of the arm which is controlled by an Allen wrench adjustment at the very back of VPI arms? What I do is set the weight for the highest approximate setting. To lighten the arm incrementally, ... | |
| Avalon Ascendant or Vandersteen Quatros? 70marcin...what are you talking about?? The Quattros, the 5A's and the 7's are the easiest speakers to set up. They can be adjusted to accommodate the room in ways few if any speaker can be. Follow directions in the Owners Manuals, and you simply ... | |
| Dynavector XV-1s and JMW 10.5i question That Blu-Tak is silly. You can set the arm up using the supplied VPI protractor, however, I found that the MINT protractor provides more accuracy, therefore better sound. Use the mechanical anti=Skate device making sure that the little arm is hori... | |
| Could use some amp suggestions If you are a true audiophile, you should know that quality of amp is more important than power. My favorite amps are Ayre, Bat, Audio Research. | |
| Omni Speaker Options Amilcar...why would you say that my hearing was fatigued?? It was not. The total MBL system I heard sounded heavy, ponderous and fake. That's not to say that you will like or not like them. That is what I heard. My post was a suggestion that you l... | |
| Benz Ruby 3s impedance loading I have a Benz LP Ebony, and 1000 ohms is quite perfect in my system. I have an infinite number of options in this regard, and just checked...1000 ohms. I remember that the cartridge took a very long time to break in...if yours is new, give it a co... | |
| VTA adjustment for Linn LP-12 If I were you, I'd just suck it up, get the VTA as best as you can with trial and error..and never touch it again. If you put your turntable on 3 big cans of tomatoes or similar objects to raise it, you can work beneath it much easier. | |
| Omni Speaker Options Amicar...strongly urge you to listen to your choice before you plunk down money. I couldn't live with MBL's if I were paid for it. Someone on this discussion said they had great fireworks, and I do agree. To my trained, professional violinist ears... | |
| Woofing "Q" Woofer enclosure doesn't matter. You want to get the balance correct, and therefore the loudness of the sub does matter. Any powered sub I know has the means to vary the output. I have found that subs that fire down...or anyway, not directly out a... | |
| What's the best approach to add Headphone Amp? I use a balanced headphone amp plugged into the 2nd balanced output of the preamp...the 1st balanced output goes to my balanced amp for the speakers. When I use the headphone amp, I do not power up the amp for the speakers. When I use the amp for ... |
