| Tube dampers? I was using some NO$ Amperex HOlland and American version 7308's but have recently switched to NOS Russian with Herbies HAL-0 9s. In my system I prefer the latter, better extension and presence than the Amperex. I wish I had tried this before spen... | |
| 6922 Replacements for BAT VK-300x Hi Chris, I'm using a pair of early 70's Amperex made in Holland 7308's from Tubemonger. These sounded better than the early 60's US Amperex that I tried with my 300x. Refined yet detailed. I've been using them for almost a year with no problems w... | |
| Amplifier suggestions for Von Schweikert VR4 JR From everything I've read and heard these work well with many different amps. I'm using a BAT VK-300x 6922 version with mine. It has a nice balance from top to bottom with excellent bass control. The early 70's Amperex from Holland are the icing o... | |

| Add another sub or go with F30's? Steven: I'll look at the B15. Anyone have experience with using this with 383 and M20 combo?Sugarbrie: I never could find a consensus on whether to use 2 Strata or 1 Stadium. The answer is probably system dependent.Moemoney: I forgot to mention th... | |
| CDP Drawer problem You might try powering down or unplugging the unit so that the drawer moves freely then hold drawer in while powering up. Hope this helps. | |
| Recommend a good Monitor for my existing system I think the Revel M20 should be on your list also. Excellent midrange, used price is close to what you want to spend and they are a great value. Stereophile has a review online. | |

| little known musicians we should hear T Bone Burnett has been around for some time but I only recently discovered his CD of the same name. Not sure what to call it-folk, country, or blue grass but it doesn't stray far from the top of the stack. | |
