| If your System can Speak Albert-better then bose? come on that's gotta be impossible, with those wee little sound labs its impossible to "fill" the room with sound the way those magical bose cubes do. BTW is the operation up and running again? any new pictures at SLOG?~Tim | |
| Transparent Reference XL or Nordost Valhalla I agree with Jacpii(along with what everyone else said), it really depends what you like in your sound, one man's lean is another's rich. Room interaction should be taken into consideration, if you have a bright room, room treatment is what I woul... | |
| Speaker cable suggestions For a value priced speaker cable check out Kimber 8xx or 4xx many bi-wire with 8xx going to the mid-woofer and 4xx going to the tweeter. I used a long(36 foot pair) of Kimber 8TC for a long time and it sounded pretty good for the money, plus it is... | |
| Best way to enlarge spindle hole in vinyl records If all else fails use a saws-all and hog that hole out! just kidding, seeing as I have never used a record I could be the wrong person to ask, but simple logic would tell me that a saws-all would remedy your problem in a jiffy. Tim | |
| Please suggest Preamp The accuphase DC-330(current production) would do everything you want except for the tuner, however it is around 15k msrp. For less $ I think the boulder 1012 would do what you want it to, again minus the tuner and that is still over 10k. Everythi... | |
| Digital Interconnect - Silver? Msnloeth- That is a good idea and I will quote a private email that another member and I had about this same exact subject."Quanta noise developed when transferring the signal through silver cables creates high amounts of jitter. Copper has much l... | |
| Any VK60 owners using a diferent preamp? I have never used a BAT pre with my VK-60 I am currently using an Accuphase digital pre/DAC and am soon going to be running the new Capitole 32/192 direct into it, I am not anticipating any problems by doing so.Tim | |
| Bass Response and concrete floors Redkiwi-That can't be, nothing in audio sucks!!! lolTim | |
| BAT-VK60 or Art Audio Jota --mono amps? I don't think 20 watts will do, I have a local audiophile friend who has the parsifal encore with a 75watt tube monoblock amp(tenor) and it just isn't enough power. He loves the sound of the amp, so he is looking for speakers as we speak. I have a... | |
| were should best cable go - CD or Preamp? Try it both ways and see what sounds better, but as it was once told to me what is lost can never be regained, i.e. the cable that goes from the CD to pre is the place to start and then work your way down stream. Tim | |
| Balanced Amps at a reasonable price? BAT VK-200 or BAT VK-500(if you can find a good deal) | |
| amp help - joule - transcendent - berning - atma If you could find a used Convergent JL2 I would add that to your list, I heard the Merlins with that amp and it was very magical, though I think the Merlins mate up well with most any moderate powered tube amp. Pay close attention to atma-sphere a... | |
| Who R U? Kelly-what do you mean by that? I have heard amany times before that garnish is a road-block on the road to bliss :)All kidding aside welcome BOB!Tim | |
| Avalon: Eidolon vs Opus vs Opus Ceramique I agree with S2k but I differ on what I would do, since very few opus(i)?(what do you call more then one opus any way?) have been for sale, the new diamonds are out and I am sure a few Eidolon owners are going to dump there current Eidolon's in pl... | |
| Sony DVP- S9000es Do a search on the 9000es and you will get at least 20 threads asking the same question. fwiw I have one and am using it exclusively for DVD/v playback only.Tim |
