| VAC owners, sound off So I figure I'll just tack onto this thread rather then start a new one. After listening to the pre for about 2 weeks I think I've adjusted to the sound. My impression is that it's, in a word, unremarkable? I find the mids and bass light and lacki... | |
| VAC owners, sound off An update. Put the PS on some 1.5" butcher block, and that on a glass shelf off the floor. I honestly don't know if that made a difference vs just being on the floor. Whatever it was, it was subtle. I also reversed polarity at the amp, and that di... | |
| MHZS 88E comparisons? I can give you some feedback. Joe is prob the guy you'll talk to. He is knowledgeable and answered my questions, even answers the phone on Sat. I bought a mhzs 33 and demo 88 from them, both were as described. I do think there is a restocking fee ... | |
| VAC owners, sound off Thanks Andr, don't know if you got my PM but you just answered my questions. | |
| VAC owners, sound off we-252 is the seller's name. Regardless, I appreciate all the "Beware of Ebay!" signs you guys threw up. My last tube purchases have been from either equipment manufacturers directly, or from agon. | |
| VAC owners, sound off At this point I'm stoked to reverse polarity and see what happens, tube rolling may be a moot point. Thanks for the tips and troubleshooting all. Let you know what happens. If it is the 'a ha' moment, I'll be one very happy puppy.Appreciate the ti... | |
| VAC owners, sound off Rhjazz -- just reading over the manual again -- output does state its inverting. | |
| VAC owners, sound off Rhjazz - 2 things I never would have thought about. PS is sitting on hardwood floor. I'll try getting it off that. I actualy have some butcher block I could use. Did you attach the spikes to the PS, or underneath the wood block? Secondly, I don't ... | |
| VAC owners, sound off Well, I received the pre and have had a couple nights to listen to it. It is a Standard that was upgraded to LE status. I'll give a summary of my equip and listening habits, then give some very brief impressions.It is receiving source material fro... | |
| VAC owners, sound off I confirmed impedance compatibility from Kevin Haynes when I spoke with him, so all good there. I also got the 'welcome to the family' line from Haynes. Nice guy, coupled with reputation and the love you guys obviously have, i'm looking forward to... | |
| VAC owners, sound off and i didn't either (mean disrespect). it is after all, the absolute truth. you have to try. my point is it goes w/o saying. More to the point, that my questions (and i think anyone's with simple curiosity about components) are leading up to if we... | |
| VAC owners, sound off Tvad, if only all heads were as cool as yours... But of course, the passion and the chest banging are all part of the game, esp when we can all hide behind a screen name and yell a little. It's all good and part of the fun until it just gets stupi... | |
| VAC owners, sound off Fplanner2000, watch it. my questions have been honest, cut and dry and for me very pertinent, esp with a brand i don't know and thus trying to get info from others in the know. 1. Is old VAC gear reliable2. Is old VAC gear tech comprable and still... | |
| VAC owners, sound off Jab, my comparison was only in the build quality of the products, not the companies. The other thing I was wondering about, aside from build quality and reliability over the long term, is something Tvad touched on -- that of technology development... | |
| VAC owners, sound off Guys, really appreciate your candid responses so far. I was thinking I would hear things of that nature. VAC gear reminds me of McIntosh in that way. Wishing everyone here a happy Thanksgiving. |
