| Good SS Amp for Vandies 2 Ce Thanks for your advice, you've nailed down what I already felt, just needed some encouragement I guess. I have considered upgrading to the Quatros and that's what I may actually do. | |
| Audio Research Amp Shootout Guys, What will I gain in terms of sound quality and performance by switching from Belles 150A Ref amp and Belles 21A tube pre to ARC SD 135 and LS17? Wig | |
| Audio Research Amp Shootout Dodgealum, Thanks for the advice, I'll have to line up an audition soon! | |
| Audio Research Amp Shootout Would you recommend the VS110 for Vandersteen 2 CE Sig II? thinking on bidding on one here on Audiogon. | |
| Audio Research Amp Shootout Dodgealum, Have you had any experiences with the VS115 or BAT? I'm considering going back to tubes for my Vandersteen 2 Ce Sig II and ran across your review and will now put the SD135 on my list as well. | |
| Good SS Amp for Vandies 2 Ce Guys, Thanks for the suggestions. I returned to the Hi-Fi arena after a five year break and bought everything based on recommendations versus a listening test. My Belles equipment is very good but I didn't gain much low end control over the Rogue... | |
| Audio Research Amp Shootout Will the SD 135 be reviewed by any of the hi-fi magazines? | |
| Bryston BDA-1 Macdadtexas, The digital cable did make a huge improvement but I was expecting more from he BDA-1. I would say an increase of 10% in performance and if I had to do it all over again I would have bought another Belles 150A Ref amplifier which would... | |

| MIT Shotgun Question. I've used MIT cables exclusively since 1996 and thought they were the best cable until I heard the Goertz MI2 and my new DD cables. The only way I can explain it is the sound seemed to be coming from a bubble up front with no depth. I never notice... | |
| MIT Shotgun Question. Shaunp, I owned 2 pairs of MIT S3 and an 8ft pair of Bi-wire S3 cables as but found the midrange was too forward and edgy.So, the first thing I done was to audition a new speaker wire, which I tried a biwire pair of MI2 Goertz and heard thing I've... | |
| Bryston BDA-1 Macdadtexas Took your advice and bought a $20.00 toslink until my coax come in and you were absolutely right! More bass and a more realistic soundstage and detail. So, It's going to get better with a digital coax? Thanks, Wig | |
| Bryston BDA-1 Thanks for the good information! I guessed the loss of richness on acoustics guitar music was due to the cable but had no idea an analog cable was that inferior to the digital cable. I really can't wait for this cable to come in now to do some se... | |
| Bryston BDA-1 That's correct, using a standard RCA intil my digital 75 ohm Kimber DV-75 coax cable come in the mail. I believe that is the source of the reduced bloom I'm noticing with the BDA-1. Thanks, Wig Belles 150A Ref Belles 21A Tube modified with Auricap... | |
| Difference between RCA & Coax I was just curious because my Kimber Coax cable has not come in yet and was using an old MIT T2 interconnect for the time so I imagine I'll be shocked on the level of detail I'l hear once the cable come in. Thanks, Wig |
