| Watt Puppy 6 with tube amp. While I'm not sure I believe the 6's and 7's are an easier load than the 5.1's. The 5.1's have a nasty impedence curve that require some serious muscle. Don't use a 100 watt tube amp with the 5.1's. Why not simply arrange a home demo with your ARC... | |
| Cat SL-1 reference vs Sonic Frontiers line-1 I listen to mostly classical, about 90% vinyl. The ML doesn't have a bloomy midrange, but it has a smooth accurate one. The Wilson's have a tendency to be ruthlessly revealing so the 335's mid hall tonal balance is a good match. What I'm suggestin... | |
| Cat SL-1 reference vs Sonic Frontiers line-1 I have a CAT Ultimate and your speakers. I had a VT 100mk2 and switched to a ML 335. While the ARC amp was fine the 335 really made the Wilson's sing. A large inprovement in the bass control with little to no drawbacks in the traditional tube stro... | |
| Levinson 33h or 336? I have a 335, a CAT Ultimate and WP 5.1's. I'm very happy with them. I can tell you the 335 is a step above the 333 which I compared head to head. If you believe the advertising the newer dual mono single chassis amp's have improvements from what ... | |
| What is the best 6 piece sub/sat system under 2k? I have the Aperion Audio 5.1 system with the 12" sub. The sub is very large but the satellite speakers are quite small. This is a super home theater set up as long as you have adequate power, at least 100 watts per channel. The satellite speakers ... | |
| Toshiba 9200 or Sone 9000 for DVD HT I compared these two players side by side for progressive video performance only. Out of the box the 9200 was softer and the color intensity was down. This was on my ISF'd Elite 510. What was really strange was the 9100 I owned had the same color ... | |
| Amps for Wilson Watt Puppy 6.0? I have 5.1's and went from an ARC VT100mk2 to a ML 335. While I don't know if the 6's are the same, I can tell you it takes a massive tube amp to control the bass of the 5.1's. The ML 335 was a big improvement over the ARC, the VT100 just didn't h... | |
| CLEAN RECORDS WITH WHAT????? Goliverjr,The first time I used Torumat I bought a 16oz bottle. I suspect it's still available in that size. It's just cheaper to buy a gallon and keep refilling the smaller bottle. Of course, over the years I've cleaned maybe 3000 records and use... | |
| CLEAN RECORDS WITH WHAT????? Music Direct in Chicago, a measly $70 a gallon. But, a gallon cleans a ton of records. | |
| CLEAN RECORDS WITH WHAT????? Many years and thousands of records ago I found Torumat cleaning fluid really worked with my 16.5. The really dirty records may need a second cleaning. The Torumat cleans the record well and somehow nearly eliminates static electricity. While it's... | |
| Plasma vs. CRT based HDTV The CRT sets have better contrast giving them blacker blacks and whiter whites. This difference until now has been large, but the plasmas are closing the gap. The higher end plasmas now have excellent contrast, but still not quite as good as a hig... | |

| CAT Pre seeking Opinion Without knowing what speakers you have it's difficult to say. I have Wilson 5.1's, a CAT Ultimate and a Levinson 335. This combo is wonderful. But, my speakers are a difficult load and are more Row "A" in tonal balance. The Levinson is a bit laid ... | |
| OTL amps with Wilson Watt/Puppy 6s Rlennan,I have 5.1's and wondered why my ARC VT-100mk2 didn't get the job done. I then tried a 335 and my jaw hit the floor. Instruments were much more full bodied and the tonal balance smoothed out making marginal recording much easier to listen ... | |
| ML No 383 to ML Nos 380S & 335 While I'm not familiar with your current gear I do own the 335. I spent years trying to tone down my Wilson 5.1's tendency to shall we say be ruthlessly revealing. I was always happy with the audiophile stuff like dynamics, imaging,etc., but the s... |
