| Pass Labs X-600's vs. XA-160's Zippyy,no recommendation on room color.From my experience,I don't recommend Manley/VTL.I'm sure there are plenty of happy customers,but you seldom hear of the people who have had to fight with these amps in one form or another.Most have moved on t... | |
| Von Schweikert "rear ambiance driver" revisited Robm321,I mean that the focus on a solo performer will not be as articulate.It will become more ghostly and lack solidity.There is a "balance" to everything. | |
| please chime in... I sell the Mapleshade/Walker CD tweeks.You might try the Microsmooth and Ionoclast.They both have a 30 day return policy and have made a sizeable improvement in my enjoyment of digital. | |
| Von Schweikert "rear ambiance driver" revisited I was led to understand that the rear tweeter should be turned up until the absolute focus is corrupted.That was relatively low on my VR-6s.A little of their magic was lost with that tweeter completely shut off. | |
| Want more high frequency extension Try substituting another preamp.The AIs are good,but high frequency reproduction is not their forte,Transcendent GG,Placette passive/active,First Sound Deluxe, even a CJ.Arrange some home auditions with a cooperative dealer.Happy hunting. | |
| please chime in... I would wait until the turntable returns.I enjoy listening to digital,but after listening to analog-there should be no comparison. | |
| Pass Labs X-600's vs. XA-160's Zippyy.You might want to pick-up the latest TAS.They are reviewing the 160s and compare to the 600s.I have heard the X600s and thought they were good,though my personal preference is for a pure class-A amplifier.At 89db,the XA160s should be fine,u... | |
| tube amp shoot-out Kmikey.for a photo,check the Innersound website {iTube}.They were hired By Innersound ,before the company was taken over,to build a tube amp capable of driving electrostatic speakers without clipping.The "new guys" at Innersound were trying to sho... | |

| Why the switch from Kharma/Tenor to DarTZeel/VSA I believe that,within the industry,50% discounts are available.Manufacturers usually accomidate each other ,when purchases are made. | |
| Why the switch from Kharma/Tenor to DarTZeel/VSA Indihka was waiting for a set of VSA speakers about a month ago.VR-7s with ribbon tweeter and subs.What model is this?Lost touch with him and don't know if he received them.According to his schedule,they should be in-house.Maybe he will comment. | |
| Tube Amplifier for Maggies Give Terry/Steve a call:216-521-0900 {Western Reserve Audio Design}.They will allow you to audition Their amp,formly the Innersound iTube amp.They offer a money back policy.It was compared to the CJ 140s and it bested them.Give it a shot. | |
| Foam surround replacement question I would recommend using the dust caps.Is it possible to use the "old" dust caps? You will notice a difference,if the caps aren't used. | |
| Why the switch from Kharma/Tenor to DarTZeel/VSA BEWARE of VSA show demonstrations.At the 97/98 CES,VSA furnished "us" with a pair of VR-6s.Everyone who heard them was in love with them {me too}.Several went out and bought them {me too}.Everyone we know who bought a set was disappointed and sold... |
