| No Bi-Amp but tubes for Maggies -- can it be done? Interesting thread. Have not heard Maggies in a long time, but as someone above posted, if you are looking for some tube magic, with lots of watts and current, try a Llano Trinity 300 or maybe bi-amaping with the Llano Phoenix with 2, 200 wpc curr... | |
| Toslink to SPDIF RCA digital converter The DIP has sonic benefits in addition to the "format" change. Highly recommended. Only downside is that you need two digital cables. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Bwhite- Can you recommend some KT-66s. Not sure I can afford the 350Bs, unless anyone can recommend the new Chinese production. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Anyone try the CBS-Hytron 6L6Gc tube in your Syrah? Just put them in today and they sound pretty nice and look way cool!!! | |
| Best way to spend my income tax refund You will never regret going to the REV A, infact, spring for the extra $ and get the soft recovery diode bridge as well. IMO. | |
| Anyone in Vegas listen to the Gilmore speakers??? Not at allm Atmasphere. Although some hear are suspicious of anonymous shilling, no way could you be considered anonymous. Also some pretty heavy hype from the marketing dept came through here, as well. But all viewpoints are welcome IMO, and you ... | |
| Vandersteen 2CE Signature dimensions I don't think the 2 sound anchors extend back beyond the speaker by more than an inch or two, if at all. At least that's what I remember from my 2cis. | |
| Bryston 3BST to BAT VK3i hook up Correction- Hook up r output from pre to either channel on amp and hook up that channel to r speaker. Hook up l output from pre to other channel and hook up that channel output to l speaker. | |
| Tenor Hybrid v. VTL MB-450 Sig. OK, my mistake, and RcrumP, I (and most of the regulars) know about CTC and TG Audio, just wanted to keep you in the game and make sure Jim2 and others satisfied. And I have never been included among a list of the fastidious, the somewhat fastidio... | |
| Tenor Hybrid v. VTL MB-450 Sig. One of the amazing things about this hobby and this site is the access to manufacturers and designers. As long as everyone knows who the players are, then there is no harm. Please feel free to jump in with whenever/however, you feel, Rcrumb. Altho... | |
| Bryston 3BST to BAT VK3i hook up Hook up the right output from the VK3i to either Channel 1 or 2 on the Bryston, then hook up the output from channel 1 to the right speaker. Left output from VK3i to other channel and then to left speaker. | |
| Merlin Mil. w/hybrid amps?? Brooks1- I've got a very different system, but if you want to hear the Berning vs a megawatt hybrid (Llano Trinity 300) I have both here, in W. Hartford, CT, 45 min from New Haven. I am using them to drive Vandy 3ASigs, but you might learn somethi... | |
| Does good DAC improve sonics of low end transport You will see a very noticable improvement, esp if you use a Monarchy DIP or a Genesis Digital Lens or other de-jitter device. I added a DIP and a Classe DAC to my CAL changer and it was a big improvement, even over a Class B CDP. I saw a Muse 3 w/... | |
| Please critique my new DIY stylus cleaning system. Although the striker sounds harsh, it certainly could not do any damage to the (diamond) stylus, if I remember my geology correctly. | |
| Anyone in Vegas listen to the Gilmore speakers??? Well, I guess this discussion disproves the old saying "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder but everyone knows butt-ugly!" Never having heard these, I would suggest- They do look like kitchen counters with a built in cook-top. |
