| Belles 22A users yet? Based on Soundstage review, the VT-01 is equipped with 4 CV4003 Mullards tubes but I bet some neutral GE BP triple Micas 5814A or equivilant would really make it shine. The Mullards were ok but they were too rolled off when I had the Vandies 2 Ce ... | |
| Belles 22A users yet? This is some good information, any other users with observations? Thanks, | |
| Belles 22A users yet? Hoff48,Thanks for taking the time to give your observations on both units. I know it was probably a hard decision to get rid of the acclaimed 21A with Auricaps but I hear the 22A has so much potential as you have outlined in detail on tube rolling... | |
| Speakers in 10-15K price range for Classical music I listen to Classical and Gospel only and what Avguy mentioned about the Avalons' are spot-on. I have the Ascendants and my listening position is 9' away and you get the feeling that you are part of the performance. I thought my Thiels and Vander... | |
| Notes on Harbeth, Vandersteen, Avalon & Spendor Guys, My Ascendants are 5 weeks old now and have really opened up quite a bit. I have been experimenting with placement and find that 7' seperation from tweeter to tweeter provides the best overall sound with a listening distance of 10'. My 2 Ce S... | |
| EAR 868 VS Belles 21A? I switched out the Mullards CV4003's and put back in the 1950's GE 5814A BP triple Mica and the speakers really opened up with a more natural presentation. I can easily hear deeper into the soundstage. | |
| EAR 868 VS Belles 21A? Davt, What tubes are you running? I'm currently running the Mullards CV4003 and also have a pair of GE BP Mica 5814A that I may put back in since I believe they have better detail and soundstage presence. | |
| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING Thuan, See Douglas Schroeder review on dagogo.com The CD2 is quite good. | |
| Speaker cables For Vandersteen 2CE sigs I used MIT S3 biwire, Goertz MI2's and Audioquest type 8 and the Dynamic Design Lotus blew them all away with the Goertz coming in second place. This was evaluated on my 2 Ce Sig II's. | |
| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING I'm going to give the pre a go within a few days and man will I be sad if I have to sell my Belles 21A modified unit. | |
| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING BassraptorDo you know what changes are being made? | |
| Upgrading from my Rotel RCD-1072 I upgaded my RCD 1072 with a Rega Apollo and the difference was easily disernable, even the wife and kids heard the difference. More bloom, seperations of detail and soundstage. | |
| Thiel CS 2.2 or B&W 804N I have not heard the 804's but I did own the 1.5, 2.2 and 2.3. The 2.2 were my favorite, didn't like the sound of the dynamic drivers. | |
| Notes on Harbeth, Vandersteen, Avalon & Spendor I received my Ascendant two weeks ago to replace my Vandersteen 2 Ce Sig II and have put 400 hours of current through them, but probably more like 200 hours in driver workout. I have experimented over the last few days and was blown away when I mo... | |
