| Why nobody uses McIntosh with Vandersteen? It may have to do with the brand mix that retailers tend to cary. The Vandy dealer near me also sells Audio Reseach. That is their choice for a ultimate high end system, so allot of people end up getting this match. A good match it is, imo. I don'... | |
| Coda conundrum I live in Sacramento.CODA is made in Sacramento.I have never even seen a CODA product, but would like to.I was not even shure if they were still in business, and the web site looks like it has not been updated in years.I have asked the few local d... | |
| Audio Research VT100, MKii and MKiii I'm 99% sure that upgrades are no longer available. I called ARC and they said so.I've owned a VT100 for 10 years and it was 100% reliable, but now needs new tubes and maybe some board work. That is probably why so many are for sale used. When it ... | |
| Refurbish a classic amp or replace it? if it works, why fix it ?the small amount of $ you get for it will be silly compaired to the cost of a new amp which may not sound any better.If you really want a new amp buy one, and keep the ML for a back up. (And I would strongly recommend list... | |
| stereo amp vs monoblocks, any advantages? With monos, you can put the amps closer to the speakers and use shorter cables. I was a mono only macho man for a while, but now perfer a one box solution to KISS. (keep it simple stupid) and after 30+ years of listing, I don't think monos really ... | |
| classe twenty five and classe fifteen Hey, Brf, I think the biggest change was the face plate (removal of DR from all model names) that would be the most obvious to most people. (Even the next gen of Classe (when the Fifteen change to the CA-150) was the same amp.I like this Classe se... | |
| Tone controls? Sorry about the heresy. Judging by your other gear, you might like an older Carver C series pre. These have enough knobs to satisfy any knob junkie. They have a fairly complex tone control section - more than just a bass and treble knob. | |
| Build Your Own? "I have heard some truly horrible sounding speakers built by individuals [that claim to be] knowledgeable in Physics and Math, the theory may have been correct but the result was not."There is no shortage of these being sold at Audio salons all ar... | |
| Should I trade-up from my Krell KAV 300? You should really put the whole product number because they use KAV300 (something) on several things (even know this is the AMP section)Anyway, I have the KAV300CD player and I would not trade it for two reasons. 1. It is the best sounding player ... | |

| With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you Pass labs are no good with sound labs.Total wrong combo. Trust me, I have tired this.Be forewarned that Pass stuff can damage speakers.(it has happened to me)I wouldn't trust them with $20,000 speakers unless woofers are easy to get and replace an... | |
| New SS Integrated from ARC DSi200 ... I think you are looking at a prototype photo on the ARC data base. ARC own website just says comming soon and provides no technical data. | |
| Why do speakers recommend amp wattage? Probably a rough estimate of the power needed to drive the speaker to max. sound pressure level for extended periods of time over the full frequency band for most recorded music. Amps that are underpowered may not be able to produce enought power ... | |
| New or Old DAC I wish i could have bought the Theta Gen. V when it first came out, as it rivaled the best Krell and Levinson DACs at a fraction of the price, but the Theta V(at 5-6 grand) was still more than I could afford. I demo many times, and I really though... | |
| wich speaker go wich mark levinson 331 thank you I've heard these Levinson amps with various B&W speakers. The lean dryness of Levinson coupled with the typical overbassy and nothing else B&W sound almost works. |
