| VPI Scout or Michell Technodec? Hi, I agree w/ Bmckenney and 4yanx's comments. Owned a Gyro SE (newer version w/ DC motor) for a year and was very impressed. Very dynamic and resolving and yes plenty of PRAT. I sold the Gyro to upgrade, but ended up having to downgrade instead, ... | |
| Speakers you regret selling Reference 3a De capos. | |
| Canadian tariffs, duties, etc? Hi, The buyer will have to pay. Also, the fees are fairly high. I sold a pair of Reference 3A speakers to a buyer in Canada last summer. We both thought no tariffs because the product was manufactured in Canada. Wrong! He was charged about $150-16... | |
| Need Help on Tube Rolling for VAC Avatar Steve, Can you tell us what power cord you are using, and what improvements it made? BTW, I found that even the cheap JJ 12ax7s I purchased were better than the NOS tubes I tried. All the NOS tubes sounded as you described the EH EL34s- too warm a... | |
| Need Help on Tube Rolling for VAC Avatar Hi, I'm an Avatar owner as well; love my amp. I've tried tube rolling with newer Mullard 12ax7s/12au7s from Upscale, older Mullards from VTS, some JJs from a local shop, and some NOS RCAs. Probably spent close to the cost of an SE upgrade on tubes... | |
| Linn Kan III v Spendor S3/5 crisis Not enough juice with your amp. Same comments always with the 3/5s and less expensive electronics. Need a serious, high current amp to make they sound good, otherwise sound dull and lifeless. At least 70-80 watts with a good, high current SS amp, ... | |
| Good amp for JM Lab Daline 3.1 I remember hearing these several times years ago at a shop and was impressed. Almost bought them. I think the dealer mainly used tubes (EAR and Aronov, I think), although he also used some ss amps (EC and a class A SS amp, I believe). I think the ... | |
| VPI HW19 MkIII vs. Michell Gyrodec? Hi, I agreed a suspended table is harder to set up correctly. The Michell is "friendlier" than a Linn as far as set-up, but getting the suspension adjusted just right is still a bear, and does make a huge difference. For me, it was about as dramat... | |
| Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano? Hi, I have owned Vandersteen, Totem, Meadowlark, Spendor, Reference 3A and Living Voice. The latter 3 do a very good job w/ piano, but the best I have heard with piano were Harbeths (with class A Pass amps) and Quads (with VAC gear). Unfortunately... | |
| VPI HW19 MkIII vs. Michell Gyrodec? Hi, I haven't done a direct comparison between these two tables, but have owned a VPI 19-Jr. and the latest Michell Gyro SE, and have heard HW-19 MkIIIs and IVs, Scout and Aries. I now have a Nottingham table. Personally, I think the Michell is a ... | |
| VAC - any comments? Good or bad. Hi, Just wanted to raise a couple points about the above discussion. I don't believe the standard Avatar has been redesigned, although VAC may have made some minor changes since its introduction several yrs ago. VAC has come out with an Avatar Sup... | |
| Need some help deciding on Living Voice speakers Hi, I have heard the OBXs a number of times at a local dealer and own the Auditorium (both the Mk. I version). I have never heard the Avatar, but the OBXs are one of the finest speakers I've heard. I like the Auditorium a lot, but they are not nea... | |
| what cartridge recs for Nottingham Spacedeck The Clearaudio Virtuoso is a great cartridge as well, though I don't know how it would work on the Spacearm. I had the Virtuso on a Rega/Michell Gyro and the sound was excellent. However, didn't work as well when I switched to an SME 309; may have... | |
| Looking for comments on Living Voice Avatar spkrs Any experience w/ the Auditoriums? Thanks,TH | |
| Roksan Caspian vs Musical Fidelity A3.2 CD For what it's worth. Haven't heard the MF. However, have heard the Caspian, Sonneteer and Sugden a number of times. All three are very nice sounding players, at not a ridiculous cost. The Sonneteer is probably the best of that group, but also a li... |
