| PowerSnake Owners Unite! Hi Carl, You might remember about a month and a half ago I posted a message asking if anybody has listened to FIM power cords. I contacted FIM giving the details of my system and got a message back from Winston recommending I order two of their si... | |
| PowerSnake Owners Unite! Hi Brulee, I also have been hearing great things about the FIM power cords from the good people at Avalon. I'm wondering how big of an improvement I'll get using them on my mono VK60s. I'm still in the dark ages with my power cords. They're from D... | |
| Aronov Amplifiers - Opinions? Hello Alexc, Sorry to hear there are no dealers around that carry the components you wish to audition. I'm partial to tube equipment and I suspect the Aronov amps will be a nice improvement over the Bryston in many ways. I'm surprised to hear some... | |

| Best used class A amp with Wadia 860x Hi Jeraza, I think people would better advise you if we knew what speakers you will be driving with the amps. Also what your taste in music is, how loud you like to listen, which qualities appeal to you in reproduction of sound? The more insite yo... | |

| Help! Need tube preamp to finish system. Hi March, Second, 99; As stated futher up in the thread the BATse pre-amps are world class performers. I've compared the VK50se to CJart, ARCref, and the ML32ref. For my system and taste the 50se outperformed the other pre-amps costing up to and o... | |
| Revel VS Avalon Hello 082288, I compared both of these speakers in the same room with the same electronics and cables. (Spectral-MIT) You have to decide what your priorities are. The Revel will play louder and give you more authority and go lower in the bottom en... | |

| TUBE or SS? Hi Craig, I read your post and would like to offer my opinion concerning bass reproduction of tube amps. I don't like to generalize but here it goes.... Solid-state amps tend to give a tighter more controlled grip in the bottom octaves where as th... | |
