| Tube Amp suggestions for VSA VR4-SE's? If you decide to go with ASL,make sure that you buy them new.There are many reports from the field, that there are quality control problems .I'm not sure that I can endorse the Aronov amps.They passed through here with very little fanfare and a fr... | |
| Tube Amp suggestions for VSA VR4-SE's? The VAC Ren. 30/30 or 70/70.The VIVA Veronas on AGon should work wonderfully and can be upgraded to the 845 outputs in the future.Don't worry about the low power,they are able to drive Sound Labs.They have great timbre and are dripping with harmon... | |
| Out of production reference turntables This is just an opinion.The Goldmund is a little dark and slightly syrupy.Don't use the t-3 arm.The Forsell will require extra filters/moisture removal for its' compressor.Repairs done overseas/shipping $$.No exposure to lower coet Rockports,in th... | |

| Digital cables for DAC The Omega Mikro's start at $375/Zephyr and the Digital IV runs $779.Prices are negotiable.Give me a shout,should you want to head in that direction.Tom | |
| What is the best pre-amp DIY kit for beginners? How about the Transcendent "grounded grid" preamp.This is the circuit that Wyetech labs uses as a base for their Opal pre | |
| What SET amp can drive the Von Schweikert VR1-89dB I would agree with Jrd351,with one caveat.VSA's speakers,though high in efficiency,represent a difficult load due to their complex crossovers.My former VR-6s ,at 96db,should be able to be driven by an SET amp.They didn't come to life until I used ... | |
| What SET amp can drive the Von Schweikert VR1-89dB The Vivas should work fine or possibly the Sophia Electric 845s/Princess rectifier.Happy hunting. | |
| Digital cables for DAC I sell the Omega Mikro,would you like to take a 30 day spin?Please contact me to discuss pricing and your budget.Tom | |
| Tube amp and speaker impedence matching I would be more concerned with the efficiency.It appears that 3-4 ohms and up will work fine.Try to find a speaker with 89+ db efficiency and preferably a 8" woofer.The larger the woofer,the more power it will take to control it. | |
| Best amp for either Kharma or Focal Utopia speaker Give Lloyd Walker a call.He has been to the shows with Kharma.He is currently running the CRM 3.2s with the VIVA Auroras.He has heard these speakers with the Tenors,Lamm and VIVAs at shows and at Jonathan Valins' house. 610-666-6087 | |
| Best amp for either Kharma or Focal Utopia speaker Kharma usually goes to the "shows" with Lamm or possibly the VIVA monoblocks {Verona,Aurora}.Happy hunting. | |
| Does anybody have information on Yankee Audio? I believe John Taylor/Yankee Audio are in Fallbrook,Ca.Bruce Jacobs {920-733-8539 may have contact information and/or product sheets.I owned the FPR 72 MKII/III.They replaced a set of ML CLS.Much less bright,better harmonic timbre.They need a big ... | |
| What to match with Watt Puppy 5's I heard the WP 5s sound great with a VAC Ren. 70/70.It threw a large,deatailed and very musical soundstage.I was impressed.Happy hunting! | |
