| Best 80-100 w Amplifier Available Under $4k Used? Having owned the Silverlines I would strongly consider the VTL ST150. I've had the VTL driving a set of Dynaudio Special 25's with plenty of authority and power to spare. (Sorry I never have bot the VTL and Silverlines at the same time...) | |
| SB Touch w/upgraded power supply: good next step? Look at the Touch forum... There is a lot of debate on external power supplies, and while they were effective with the earlier products it doesn't add anything to the SB Touch. | |
| Any "Deadhead" audiophiles out there to help Does the Oppo play HDCD? If not I would start there since most of the Dead CD's are recorded using HDCD. Also there are tons of soundboard shows available as flac torrents (totally legal). I would second the room treatments...When in dought, twirl. | |
| I got the USB DAC per everyone's sugguestion BUT.. The Schitt Bifrost uses asynchronous USB 2.0 for 24/196however it does not up sample. Great value for the money | |
| Differences VTL ST-85 and VTL MB-125 Dude, I have an IT-85 in the bedroom and compact 100's in the living room... To get what you want I would change the cabling. Try Crimson Music Link all around. Trust me on this one.Tony | |

| DAC with 4 S/PDIF inputs Get a good switching box.... I've used the following Inday product for years and can't be happier. Check out http://www.inday.com/da4x/da4x.htm. | |
| Crimson Speaker Cables? @tpreavesIt a bold statement, yes; but I was blown away when I added them to my Dynaudio Special 25's. They replaced Harmonic Tech Pro 9's, which weren't too shabby. The difference was night and day, far more dynamic, with amazing prat and sound s... | |
| Crimson Speaker Cables? I use the all around in 2 rigs... It will sound like you bought new speakers, however new they take forever to break in. I was turned on to them by a old timer in audio who tried everything. So glad I took his advise.Enjoy | |
| Seeking advice on how to improve my system Sorry I didnt read about the treble energy. A cheap fix considering the wood floors would be Herbie's Big Fat Dots under the speakers and then a nice throw rug (not so cheap). | |
| Seeking advice on how to improve my system Replace all the Kimber with Crimson Music Link. It will knock you over. If the Sony is your only source you could also consider getting rid of the CJ and replacing it with a good passive. The CJ is a good preamp, and I owned the same model for yea... | |
| VTL ST-150 vs... ? My ST150 replaced a McIntosh mc352... The VTL was better in every way, not to mention the money I made/saved selling the Mac. I eventually moved onto the VTL mono 100's since I prefer the el34 sound over the 6550. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I for one would love to see this thread die already. I've followed it on and off from the sidelines for the last 15 months and for the most part it's little more than a three way conversation among like minded audiophiles... At one point I even su... | |
| Advice on first MC cartridge Typo, ha! Auto complete on my iPad turned Denon into Demon. Worst part is I missed it. | |
| Advice on first MC cartridge Demon 103r -- add the heavy weight balance in the rear and a few gram weight to the head, thereby changing the overall mass of the tonearm and you'll be in heaven for under $500. I did the on an RB300 with incognito wiring... |
