| CV181 6SN7 ModWight CD Player ? No, although there are other old stock tubes you may want to try. I find the Sylvania VT231s to be bit bass shy and the Ken Rads to be a bit treble shy. If you have the funds, the Tung Sol black glass round plates would be great. If not, I think t... | |
| Vandersteen Seven Review Johnny R at Audio Connections recently installed my Model 7s, replacing a pair of 5As. As much as I enjoyed the 5As, the 7s are in a different league. The are detailed from top to bottom but there is never any harshness. They seem to handle all di... | |
| New Vandersteen oil cooled hybrid amplifiers "A speaker manufacturer who starts making amplifiers tends to damage relations with amplifier manufacturers with whom they have worked in the past, hurting themselves. "How do you know that Richard was working WITH the amplifier manufacturers on t... | |
| New Vandersteen oil cooled hybrid amplifiers Was Audio Research involved in the design? They are one of the few, if only, companies to us 6H30s. They are new tubes but hard to find and there are few tube rolling options. | |
| 3 channel amp to power center and rear channels. The Aragon 8008x3 is a great amp for that purpose. I used it in that configuration for years. You should be able to get one in very nice shape for less than $2000. | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Isn't there a big difference in design/theory between the 4 and 5-7 given that the chip in the 5-7 is limited to 16/44.1 processing? I am not saying that is bad, but it has to change things, right? | |
| Furutech Evolution II Interconnects So, the FP-106 has a different center pin than the FP-108? | |
| Furutech Evolution II Interconnects The price difference is crazy. For $270 one can make their own 1 meter cable using Furutech's wire and connectors. That same interconnect (with the GC-303 module) costs $1500.Have you used the solderless connectors or would you recommend the ones ... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Couple of comments on some prior posts:1 - Even though some DACs do not need USB power, they sometimes need that leg of the connection to make the initial handshake. That is my experience with my Lampi L4.5/G4 and my PC server. Once the handshake ... | |
| Furutech Evolution II Interconnects Guido,Have you also listened to the Reference? How do they compare, sound-wise? I realize they are a bit more expensive.David | |
| Furutech Evolution II Interconnects They also sent me a pair of Jena Labs Fugue which I did not like at all.Thanks for the advice on the AQ Columbias. | |
| Oppo BDP-105 vs. Van Alstine vs. Azur 840C? I can't see any reason to use the Azur if you have the Oppo. The Oppo can play all the same discs and more. You may want to compare the Oppo's 2 channel output to that of the AVA DAC, but I don't see the Azur having a role in your system. | |
| Oppo 105 and Cary 11 Surround Processor Elescher, how are the HDMI incompatibility issues related to the Cary which doesn't do HDMI?Sgr, I use an Oppo BDP-95 with a Cary 12 and it is a great combination. I am using the 7.1 bypass with the Cary even though it does decode all the formats ... | |
| Vintage TT - looking to add one - recommendations? I just recently purchased a Denon DP-62 and love it. These vintage TTs are so well built and sturdy. | |
| CD player with Vandersteen and Conrad Johnson What price range are you considering? |
