| Now Playing: American Graffiti soundtrack LP Thanks for the downer Geoff! | |
| preamp for vandersteen Quatro You can't go wrong with the ARC. I have the Ayre V-5xe with the ARC Ref3. No complaints. I'm curious also if the Ayre pre could be a better combo. Hoping not. I have the Vandersteen 3A sigs. | |
| B&W 603 S3 verses DM 640 The consensus at the time was that the 603 was a much better sounding speaker. I never heard the 603 but I did own the DM640's. The 640 has a nice kevlar midrange driver. The woofers are boomy and inefficient. They need quality power to bring out ... | |
| Bad news for audiophiles? Wine and audio are drugs. Where did that money go? | |
| Audio out to RCA input on new Sony TV's? I use an earphone mini jack to RCA cable. Under "Audio Settings" set the phone jack from "headphones" to "audio out". The quality is very good. | |

| Tube life in preamp. Please help I used Telefunken in mine. I found the 6DJ8/ECC88 to sound better in the SP9 MKII , and the 6922/E88CC to sound better in the MKIII. They both lasted more than five years in standby. | |

| Vandersteen 3 w/ARC d240 MKII ltngstrucktwice -I feel so old! My point was the 3A (and probably the previous 3 if that is what you have) is neither dynamic nor airy and has soft, slow bass. It's pleasant and nonabrasive. The presentation will not bring the band into your room.... | |
| Platter Levelling Issue Willewonka -If you don't mind, what brand/model of level are you using? I have the Ortofon level. It deviates from dead center to 1/10 of a degree out when spun in place. I think that is 1/20 of a degree error. Not what I expected for $50 but usab... | |
| Vandersteen 3 w/ARC d240 MKII The Vandersteen 3A sounds slow and hazy. I had them for 18 years with many amps and never could get them to hurry up. The 3A Sigs are a major upgrade. | |
| Fake Audiophiles I personally believe in the Analog God but the Digital Devil whispers in my ear. I have never heard of these fake audiophiles. Could it be an invention of the Audiosnobs? | |
| Importance of Amplifier versus Preamp? 01-26-15: Wlutke"Your amp can't sound any better than what the preamp gives it."Almarg -"This is true. But it is also true that the preamp can't sound any better than the amp allows it to. So the location of a given component in the chain is in it... |
