| Picking components -warm / bright which is righ? Cdc:Choose neutral components. Roll tubes to tweak from warm to cold. A good comination is solid state amp for bass tightness with tube pre-amp. There are some good integrated such as Cary SLI-80 Signature. Look for neutral speakers and shun metal... | |

| assistance - need to power VSA-VR4jr I've heard these speakers with SimAudio I-5 solid state, and Cary SLI-80 Signature tube amp. The speakers sound great either way. A friend of mine drives his with the Cary SLP-98 tube pre-amp and SimAudio W-3 amp, which gives the best of both worl... | |
| Room Size and Loudness Vtl:What makes you think the room is the problem? Playing your system loudly won't change room modes. IMHO: If your system doesn't peform at low volumes, the problem lies elsewhere. Having said that, bass traps will eliminate some room modes. See ... | |

| bookshelf for Musical Fidelity A3?? Campton:I heard Musical Fidelity A3cr amp and pre-amp with a pair of KEF Q1.5's sounding very good. That speaker is no longer in production. It has the Uni-Q driver, but not real veneer, and cost only one-quarter of your budget. Polite British mon... | |
| Tungsol tubes- What do these 's mean??? Hi, Gary:Tung-Sols are generally good tubes. The most prized version has round plates. I believe the numbers are just date and/or factory codes. I'm not sure about National Electronics, but someone else will help you soon, I'm sure. How do the amp... | |
| tubes or no tubes I'm not familiar with VTL gear. I use the Cary SLI-80 Signature ($3,200) an integrated which IMHO is better than solid state regardless of cost. I agree with the person who said there's no going back. WORDS TO THE WISE: (1) Make room in your budge... | |
| Power Cord Length Cha ching, cha ching -- it's music to the ears of the cable salesman with the cash register. IMHO it's pure nonsense.Jay | |
