| New CJ preamp w/ remote that have old CJ sound? Whoa! I guess I did well buying a really nice PV-11 here on the 'gon (not Jeffjazz' or Uru975's) for a fair price. Moving all my 2-channel sources and the front mains from my Sherwood P-965 pre-pro was a solid improvement in detail, soundstage and... | |
| Vienna Acoustics Bach Grand Slightly OT: I have read what I could find on the Mozart Grands (being more in my price range of ~$3K/pr). I get the impression that they are a warm speaker, with underdamped bass. However, my intention would be to cross them over to my Vanderstee... | |
| Want something more forgiving than Vandy 3a sigs If you are able to audition Silverline Audio speakers, you might like what you hear. They are designed with a slightly lower output in the upper-mids/lower treble, and I liked what I heard from the Bolero model very much. I too am extremely sensit... | |
| DCM speakers Aktchi: Comparisons are difficult, especially since I've never heard BC1s (would like to, though). But, to give you a point of reference, I own Vandy 1Cs with a pair of 2Wq subwoofers. I love the Silverline Audio sound, and my other favorite "hous... | |
| Vacuum tubed tone control??? Thanks, Joeylawn. I ordered a T1951 (great deal on a refurb at Musician Friend with a 45-day return option). I will post my impressions once I've used it a while. | |
| Van Alstine When I wanted to upgrade from a Rotel RMB-1066 to a better 3-channel amp for my combo 2-channel/HT system, I tried VA's OmegaStar 240 (not sure if it was EX version or not, but this was Spring of 2005). My attitude towards gear in general is that ... | |
| Vacuum tubed tone control??? The above post was supposed to be addressed to Joeylawn36111. Sorry about that! | |
| Vacuum tubed tone control??? I will take you up on your offer. I just read the T1951 manual, and I am intrigued. I like the fact that it can be set to a "hard bypass" when EQ or added "tube warmth" is not desired. The specs look impressive, but I was wondering: How much does ... | |
| Novice with vinyl & tapes needs help evaluating Chadnliz: If you inherited a piece of jewelry and wanted to sell it, wouldn't you want to get fair value for it? Also, I intend to split the proceeds with my friend who gave them to me.lmin2u: I wanted to, but there was a lot stuff, and due to som... | |
| What is the best used sub-$500 DAC? Nhtran: How would you compare the sound of three units you mentioned? I am very curious, thanks. | |
| DCM speakers I heard the flagship at HE 2007. Driven by a tiny Jolida tube integrated and the Jolida CDP as source, the sound was quite impressive. Smooth, dynamic, airy and open, with a solid foundation of tight bass. Way better than a $1K pair of speakers ha... | |
| Silverline's "Prelude" vs. Monitor Audio RS-6 A favor: Can the Prelude owners who have posted here describe their room size? I have heard these speakers, the new version, and was very impressed, but I suspect that I will need something bigger for my basement system. My basement is 500 square ... | |
| dac choice I am very interested in this thread. Has no one heard the VAC2? Also - and I've asked this before - the Pacific Valve modded Lite Audio DAC 62 is based on the same platform as the Monarchy M24. It uses a different DAC, but a well-regarded one. It ... | |
| Best Tube CDP for $2000 Budget Mrtennis: yes - I've seen very little on the Vincent players. Please post your impressions. TIA. | |
| Marantz cd510 As Transport? Thanks... I am months away from a source upgrade, but I will certainly consider using the CDR-632 with a DAC. |
