| The future of preamps Charles- I do have a Vac Ren 30/30 now (as well as a couple of others). I sold the M-60s for I know not what reason and since I have more than 1 amp here, I do believe that I should have kept them as well as my VAC. The VAC needs a repair now, it ... | |
| The future of preamps Active preamp or bust! It is key to a well put together system!Right on brother.I have had 6h30 tubes before, LOL!, sounded to much like solid state Many people say that about the 6H30 tube. [quote]If by using the term "tubey" you mean warmth and ... | |
| To Tube or not to Tube...... Ebuzz- There is no right or wrong answer but IMO, you need tubes fore and aft (pre and power) to make reproduced sound as close to "real" music as you can. It will never get there, but.... | |
| Add a pair of 2wq's to my Vandersteen 3A Sigs? When I owned 3Asigs, I had a pair of 2W subs placed behind and to one side of the mains. They blended so well and so were acoustically "invisible" that I periodically had to check to make sure that they were actually powered up. | |

| help me "face the music"? I will answer the last question first, and let others who know music servers better answer some of the other stuff. W respect to speakers, it makes absolutely no difference what your source is; analog, digital, or or vegetable.Oh, and one other th... | |
| Stylus force digital scales YW, Onhwy. All part of the service ;-) | |
| Price Increases Jmcgrogan2- You are correct, but I fear that this discussion is about to go seriously off the rails! | |
| Stylus force digital scales Onhwy61- It's not necessarily the accuracy, it's the precision. IOW, it matters not if the VTF that sounds best to you is, to make up an example, 2.12, 2.13, or 2.14. Or in fact any value between 2.1 and 2.2 gms. However, once you determine the op... | |
| One the cheap, please You are most likely going to need a remote that transmits and components that receive RF (radio frequency) commands because conventional IR (infra-red remotes are line of sight only and will not penetrate into a closet if the door is closed. You c... |
