| Does anyone out there have a liquid system Alright, I'l bite. Yes, I think mine sounds liquid. Von Schweikert VR4 speakers upgraded to VR5s, pushed by a Jeff Rowland Model 10, and a tubed British preamp, an Audio Innovations L2. Synergistic Research speaker cables (Resolution Reference on ... | |
| van morrison's best sounding album? I hate to differ, but I think some of his earlier issues are a bit roughly mixed (e.g., Moondance). Personally, I think Poetic Champions Compose is very well done, and is a great album (or CD) from a songwriting standpoint as well. Enlightenment i... | |
| Synergistic Research AC Master Coupler w/ Digital I use one (AC Master Coupler) on my Adcom GCD 750 and like it alot. | |
| What does a pre out do? You can isolate your the preamp in the integrated and send the signal to another power amp - or powered sub. Basically, you're using your intgrated as your preamp in this configuration. | |
| Big Stupid Warm Speakers Von Schweikert VR4s used. They will shake the nails out of the walls. You can pick them up for the mid teens, and it's a hassle to send them out to VSR to have them modified to VR5s, cost is $2500, but it's well worth it.They do rock to jazz to cl... | |
| Mcormack DNA.5 vs B&K reference 4420 Solid state - but with that warm, involving sound. As a former five-year owner of a .5 I can honestly say it's one of the best amps I've ever heard - I know that's saying a lot, but I truly miss mine (if it could drive difficult speakers, I'd stil... | |
| Anyone using Audio Innovations 1000 SE? I don't know, but www.borderpatrol.net will.Best of luck,Barton | |
| Stupid Question: How to take out tubes?? Fingerprints and residual oils: The reason is that the oil on glass versus clean glass alone causes differential heating, and a more unstable environment, and the tubes (or halogen bulbs) are potentially prone to a shorter life. Just my $.02.Barton | |
| Subwoofer and Von Schweikert 4 series Ditto, for listening to music, it's waaaaaay overkill.(My plumber was over - I had my VR4/5s on, and he asked me where the subwoofer was - honestly.)Best of luck,Barton | |
| Best Used Solid State Amp for less than $5000? Rowland Model 10. Best bang for my buck. | |
| Who has experience shipping large speakers? Try BAX Global - reasonable and they took great care when I shipped with them. | |
| Aragon 2004 vs McCormack dna.05 ? Can't comment on the Aragon, but had a .5 for five years or so, paired with a little single tube British pre, and it sung. At its price point, assuming it can drive your speakers sufficiently, the McCormack is truly one of the world's finest amps.... | |
| Von schweikerts vr4 or vandersteen model 4 ? The Vandies will be easier to place - and the VSRs need a fairly large space - 16 x 12 is probably a minimum - but overall, the VSRs are a much better speaker across the frequency range - real keepers. I had my VR4s modified by Albert to 5s, well ... | |
| Rowland Model 12 vs. Krell FPB-350M I have stopped looking for an amp. | |
| Rowland 112 vs McCormack .5 Rev A I had the same quandary. Thought about upgrading my 0.5, after I'd bought Von Schweikert VR 4s - I talked to Steve McCormack, who said the upgrade wouldn't do anything to provide more power - just a sonic upgrade. I needed more power to push the V... |
