Can you reccomend a cable for my VAC 140's
thanks for the responses....I am a little concerned about going to a longer length IC. So I could go from 8ft speaker cables to 12ft. Really that might be the best solution. I would have to rearrange my system but that's not a bad thing. Anybody h... 
What 300B tubes are you using in your VAC amps?
Paladin.....even though I would like to purchase the WE's 6K is a bit much for me...more than I gave for the 140's in fact. I would like to hear thoughts on the KR's and other brands for the VAC'sI had the GD's and Cetrons in my 70/70 and the drag... 
What 300B tubes are you using in your VAC amps?
I am interested in the KR 300B's vs Sophia carbon plates and also the Full music brand but I think there the same as the Sophia. Any feedback on these? 
What is the best DAC under $2000 and why?
I have a Monarchy NM24 and it sounds great after i retubed it. Not bad stock.....but the circut is clean and with the option of both SS and tube dac and a LS for about $1100 discounted it's hard to say no. BTW I'm going to try some Mundorf supreme... 
So I just bought an Accuphase C-200
Yes the C200 is very natural. My experience is that McIntosh and ARC of that era will sound colored surprisingly so. The Aux 1 and 2 outputs are the main connections for everything but a tuner and phono. The ouput level should be the same as the t... 
So I just bought an Accuphase C-200
I find the stock C200 very transperent and open with one drawback.....the highend lacks a liitle smoothness. The soundstage is very large and is layered. Musical notes are on the uncolored side of the spectrum and the bottom end is full.My upgrade... 
So I just bought an Accuphase C-200
I'm probably the biggest fan of this pre-amp. I recently had mine recapped with Nichicon gold and it is stunning. I have another that is going to be done with blackgates. The preamp originally was done in Elna gray caps....which were popular in th... 
How many of you upgrade your preamps and amps?
Samujohn.....I guess my point was that the factory tech doesn't have the descretion to make changes that would void a warranty. At this point for me that's not a issue.As an example my tech called today about my P300 Accuphase...the Mundorf M-Lyti... 
Any Ampex users out there?
Atmasphere,Thanks for the info.....I'll do some digging as I would think a 350/440 setup would be neet. Thanks 
Any Ampex users out there?
Atmasphere,As I have a extra set of 350 electronics I was thinking about running a 440 xport. Was your conversion complicated?Roger 
How many of you upgrade your preamps and amps?
I have a factory upgraded Accuphase C200 and a C200 that my local tech upgraded. The private upgrade is about 10X better....no comparison. The original used elna caps...I had Nichicon gold installed. I am lucky as my local tech was a trained Accup... 
what is the best amp you've ever heard
Vac 70/70 and I bought one. 
How many People own Working Reel to Reel Decks?
I have 2 Crown decks...CX824 and a CX844 both are 4 track. The 844 is a 4 channel. The Crown's have pull out PCB's so I had the caps replaced using Nichicon's. They both sound great and are beautiful examples of American made tape machines.I recen... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
