| Levinson 390S v. Res. Audio Opus 21 Not to rain on the parade but if you ever do consider selling the Opus 21 good luck. At least with the Levinson piece it holds its resale value and will move almost immediately. Just something to keep in mind if you feel this player is going to be... | |
| BAT VK-60 or Another tube amp? I would go for the Cary v12 or for a bit less money the Cary Rocket 88. A steal these days are the Six Packs from AES (Cary's lower end line). I have heard good things about the Six Packs | |
| tubed pre for vandersteen 3a sig's I woudl rec a more middle of the road preamp fore the great Vandy speakers. Try the BC3 from Blue Circle or the Audio Research preamps. They should both blend wonderfully with your speakers. | |
| Which amp should I use for my B&W Nautilus 805? Of the ones you mentioned I prefer the Classe, especially with your speakers which are quite...revealing.A beter option would be the Blue Circle integrated. If you wait around you can find one realy cheap and send it in for upgades or remote etc. ... | |
| Looking for a 50" HD TV The best IMHO is the Pioneer Elite 50' plasma screen. Beautiful in every sense. It cost over $10k though.Vik | |
| Where do you draw the line??? There is no such thing as a neutral component. Statements that claim one piece is neutral are basing neutrality on some idea in their head which is therfore biased and not nuetral. Instruments sound different depending on whether you are sitting f... | |
| Hovland Preamp or Others? the aleph series of preamps had a warmth to it that isn't quite tube warmth but maybe close enough to you. Ijust read that Hovland has come out with a remote preamp but goo dluck finding that here on the 'gon.If you retube a Blue Circle BC-3 galat... | |
| Blue Circle BC2 - may need to upgrade. Note, I do have a BC28 for sale. But I am selling it not to upgrade but because I have to and I am going to be out of the country for a good bit. The bc28 was designed to be a bigger and better BC2. Check out the website at www.bluecircle.com and ... | |
| Tube amp for Merlin TSM. I would recommend the new tube/ss hybrid from Blue Circle. Bobby used to use Blue Circle at the shows and I imagine the combo would be quite satisfying! Warm and detailed with a very wide soundstage. Try positioning your speakers on the diagonal!-Vik | |
| Isolation for turntable Highly recommend the symposium sheves and rollerblocks. if your tt is not suspended the best (letting th turntabe doing its thing) was a Target wall shelf and Ultra shelf and rollerblocks. the more symposium I get the happier I am with my system! | |
| Best high current SS Mono amps Please note that Gilbert Yeung, the head designer at Blue Circle, uses ML CLS IIz as his reference speaker... | |
| Best high current SS Mono amps Save your money and try the Blue Circle BC8 monoblocks. Endless reserves of power and contol. Also try the Pass Labs X600's a different more clinical sound but better bass control.-Vik | |
| Home Theatre Amp Suggestions If I was spending that sort of money I would go with Bryston or Pass. Both will sing with Maggies and are built like tanks!-Vik | |
| Best CDP isolation device you use? DH Cones and BDR cones I have found to make a cange in sound but never for the positive IMHO. The best bang fo rhe buck ise is Symposium Rollerblocks and or The Aurios versions. I have more experience with the Symposium products but I heard the Au... | |
| Goner's your Top Five Picks for Preamps & Amps I like CJ gear but feel it lacks in the timing department and the bass can be a bit off. The CJ preamps are soem of the best in the worls, bar none but I like what Blue Circle does. I woudl suggest the BC24 or beter yet the hybrod 120 watt BC28! T... |
