| Advice on Setting Up A Laptop-Based Audio System? Lots of good advice at headfi.org on this subject, if you ask. | |
| Sota owners -- help needed re: reflex clamp Why not call Donna or Kirk at SOTA. They are very helpful and you can find their # in the manufacturers listing here. If I had to guess, I would say that the vacuum makes the clamp superflous, but as Nrchy say W(tf)DIK | |
| VSA VR4 Gen III SE biamp questions. Louis- Unless the amp you get has exactly the same gain, you are going to need a gain control at a minimum. Most people who do horizontal bi-amping with different amps use an active crossover to control levels and let each amp work on only their p... | |

| Aerial 10T Beware Thanks for the info, Mikec but your post would be easier to read if you turned off the Cap Lock. | |
| Trelja's new tube amplifiers - Granite 860.1 Pretty far off thread, but if my Merlins ever arrive (if you're lurking out there, Bobby, get off the net and get back to work!), I will be able to add my thoughts on the Supratek/Berning/Merlin vs Berning/Merlin. Of course, in the long run, I wou... | |
| IC advice needed Actually, I think its Larry and his brother Daryl and his other brother Daryl ;~). One of the greatest signature lines in TV history, IMO | |
| IC advice needed Good advice given above. 2 other cables you might want to check out used include Acoustic Zen Matrix Ref and Luminous Audio Tech Synchestra Ref. | |
| Occasional Country Music Super Groups Also a new generation of producers and artists; more sophisticated, better musicianship and maturity to the genre. Think of the difference between 1950s rock and Y2K (leaving aside the matter of taste!). | |

| I'm almost too embarrassed to ask, but..... 2chl- I would have to bet that its l and r as viewed from the listener's perspective. | |
| Any superb balanced dacs up to $2,500 used?? Classe' DAC-1. Balanced or se output. Full range of input options. Probably about the same price as the Timbre above. | |
| Von Schweikert "rear ambiance driver" revisited I demoed the VR-4 Gen III SEs and I also felt that the ambience tweeter needed to be nearly "off". Didn't notice what #it corresponded to, but less was definately more, in this case. | |
| CAT SL1 - is there enough GAIN using 0.4mV mc?? Well, my experience with an SL-1 MK2, with a Benz Glider L2 was that there was plenty of gain. However, I did not have the proper loading plugs, so I cannot evaluate the sound. | |
| Trelja's new tube amplifiers - Granite 860.1 FWIW, the JAN Phillips 6922s were my least favorite in my BAT pre-amp! Would love to hear those amps. |
