Calling BAT amp/preamp owner
Heeengky - Drop me an e-mail and let me know how you make out. I agree with Unsound in that I would not be very happy with BAT if I were unable to resolve the problem. For me however, the problem was resolved with a simple tube replacement. I hope... 
Calling BAT amp/preamp owner
I had the same problem with my 150SE/50SE set up. Not so much a problem with noise when the volume control was used but I would hear a loud "pop" from one speaker whenever the mute button was hit or a source change button was used on the preamp.My... 
How many truly high-end speakers sold yearly?
Great question! I sort of wondered about that myself on numerous occasions. Exactly where are the demographics to support the market and/or profitability which justifys the manufacture of $97,000 Kharma speakers and speakers in similar price range... 
tube amp for Thiel 6's?
Several years ago there was a review of the Theil 6's in the now defunct Fi Magazine. As I recall the reviewer expressed the opinion that the Theil 6's were an exceptional match math with the Sonic 3 Power amps.E-mail me your FAX number if you lik... 
Just purchased Wilson Maxx's. Now what ?? Amps?
In my opinion, the speaker, the speaker cable and the power amp should be regarded as a "single component" as these three items have a great deal of potential synergy. Thus, I would complete this part of the system before moving on to other compon... 
What is the name of your system.
No one has yet named the entire system. However my wife has taken it upon herself to begin assigning names to certain specific components within the system. My BAT 150SE amps are referred to as "those tooby things" and my Dunlavy SC VI's are refer...

John - would you please tell us what power amps, speakers and cables were used in the system you heard with the BAT/DCS components.Thanks. 
BAT VK50SE Preamp w/ DCS Purcell and Delius Match
I have a Wadia 270/27ix combo that I use with a BAT VK 50SE preamp and BAT VK 150 SE power amps.I am quite happy with this set up although I may be tempted to change power amps in order to acheive a better match to drive my Dunlavy SC-VI's. I neve... 
Conduct on Audiogon
The problem with your "offer" Bink was that it apparently did not include your proposal for acceptable methods of payment (or if it did propose a method of payment - the Seller "countered" your proposal by specifying very limited acceptable method... 
Stereophile "coverage"
Prince has it right. Carver and Stereophile are as friendly as Monica Lewinsky and Linda Tripp. Although I thought the dispute also had something to do with the fact that @ 1990 a Stereophile review trashed Carver's new ribbon speakers. 
Wadia : what amp / preamp ?
I use the BAT VK-50SE preamp and the BAT 150 SE monoblocks with my Wadia 270/27ix combo.I am real happy with this combo. 
no body is buying anything on audiogon
I had eight sales on audiogon during a 45 day period from May 1 to June 15. Three sales were from classified ads; five were from auctions. All three of my classified ad listings sold for full asking price - if fact - one item was sold the evening ... 
Help me out please all you old timers!
I have a pair of JBL L65's which I purchased around 1977. haven't played them in years and wouldn't mind selling them. I have a vague recollection of the L250TI's. Are they book shelf speakers? The jubals are floor standing but quite short. If you... 
Ship to USA only?
My sell ads also contain the restriction "sell to USA Buyer only". That is because my payment terms are COD via certified funds. These payment terms are both difficult to apply to overseas transactions simply because it takes way to long to get pa...
