| Benefits of power conditioning I'm using the Powervar ABC 700 11 for home theater stuff. And a Oneac CP 1107 for my preamp and dac. My amp I plug into the wall. Paid 45.00 including shipping for each of these. The Powervar is a 7amp output and the Oneac is 6.3 amp output. Plent... | |
| Benefits of power conditioning Personally I like my Oneac and Powervar power conditioners. They work wonderfully and are much less money for a superior conditioner. These are TRUE power conditioners. You can get them on Ebay for a fraction of what they cost new. Go to Powervar'... | |

| tube vs ss for pre-amp. I'm using an ARC LS 16 with my Marsh A400s through some VMPS speakers and love it. Very smooth and transparent sound. The Audio Research does not lose any dynamics or extension at the frequency extremes. If you are looking for tube euphonics you'l... | |
| Pre amp for Parasound 2200 II You may like the combination of having a tube preamp with the SS amp. Many people have found that it does alot more for the sound than a SS preamp. Smoothes out the sound and makes it richer, this qualities in various degrees from slight(Audio Res... | |
| Best Tube Preamp & SS Amp Combos Reb1208: Thanks for your response. The ARC LS 16 and Marsh A400s seem to be a good combination. Just a taste of tube warmth with all the attributes of an SS amp. | |
| Best Tube Preamp & SS Amp Combos Reb1208: how much was the ARC digital amp? Thanks | |
| Request setup tips from VMPS RM-40 owners. Alan is correct in stating the RM 40's and other VMPS speakers are more difficult to set up properly. One problem is that the front end components need to be very good as they will reveal all flaws. The other is the mass loading on the passive rad... | |
| Speaker Upgrade Suggestion Check out the VMPS RM 40's. They have alot of raves about them at AA and Audiocircle.com. Also won BEST of CES in 2002. They are incredible for the money. There's a dealer in Wash DC with both Von Scheikert and VMPS. Most people buy the VMPS and t... | |
| Carver Power Amps Carver didn't design the 20,000 tube amps. He just modded a design David Hafler did for him. The mods were minor. Ask him. | |
| Whats the tubiest sounding preap? The Cary AE 3 is VERY tubey. No remote on the base model but is an open design. | |
| Audible Illusions vs. Audio Research? I'd also recommend the ARC LS 15 or 16 models. They'll do what you want with little euphonics. No losses anywhere and extremely transparent. | |
| Scott Nixon - Sarudac+? TubeDac+? vs CI Audio Haven't heard the Nixon but the CIA dac is a super bargain. Have owned Theta, Cal Audio Alpha, Krell and MSB. The CIA is right up there with them and better actually than the MSB III or old Theta. I really like it and the price is certainly great. | |
| Vandersteen 2CE sig - How Loud Can You Go??? In my opinion they don't quite get "there" when dynamics and volume are concerned even with a high powered amp. Why so many people say the bass is great is beyond me as I found it quite lacking. Vocals and airiness are quite good. Better speakers ... | |
