| Best Tube Preamp & SS Amp Combos I use a Hovland HP100 with Bryston 4BSST with good results. | |
| Acoustic Zen Satori Shotgun problems with B&W N801 I used Hologram II with signature 805. Not very different than Audioquest Slate except for a little increase in speed. Not bad but not worth the price difference to me. I liked synergistic research better. | |
| Does KT-88 runs hotter than 6550? JJ Tesla KT88 & EH 6550 seem to generate the same heat in my amp. | |
| Help from tube expert: rolling AudioResearch VS110 I called ARC and the tubes are biased the same way if others wonder. JJ Tesla KT 88 betters the EH6550 in all respects without fully broken in.I forgot to take my Prozaac & Olanzapine lately if people wonder why I'm taking to meself. | |
| Audio Aero Prima or Consonance REF 2.2 cd player. I heard the consonance. It reminded me of a Cary 306/200 which is high praise. U may or may not like the style.I haven't heard Aero, though. | |
| Cary V12i vs V12R??? I heard V12 and it was very good. While not as extended in frequency extremes as audio research, it has better mid range texture and smoothness. I've the ARC VS110. The R model is marginally better but the upgrade is not too expensive. Buying a us... | |
| Help from tube expert: rolling AudioResearch VS110 Thanks guys. | |
| bright up "warm sound" speakers I'd try some nordost IC. Not speaker cables. If that is not enough, I suspect the warmth is from your CD player. Trade for any good non-tube CDP2cent | |
| Dynaudio S5.4 vs B&W 802 Thanks for responding Lafish. What would be the minimum to drive the N802s? | |
| B & W Nautilus I currently have the signature 805s driven by audioresearch VS110. I'm thinking about upgrading to 802s. I rarely listen at very high vol.. Do u guys think 110W of tubes is sufficient? Thanks | |
| So why was the Krell KPS 28c discontinued? Thumbs up to ovature who can admit a bad purchase. | |
| Buggtussel Cingulates or B&W 805's or Proac? GO with B&W signature 805s. Better than both the nautilus 805 and proacs in treble and bass. Saw one on the gon for 2500. | |
| sonus faber auditor vs 804 Don't forget the Signature 805s. They are better than N805s in both base response and treble. Same price as SF auditor, also check out dynaudio 25 anniversaty | |
| Philips 1000 vs 963 for 2 channel. Which one ? Philips SACD 1000(I still own but will be selling) is not that great a CD player. It has a smooth coherent presentation but lacks transparency and speed. It can be a bottleneck for certain systems. The SACD is a step below the sony 999es (i also o... | |
| Rotel RCD-1070 One of the better players for the price. Presentation is bold and transparent. It stayed with me as the rest of my sys. were upgraded significantly. I didn't miss anything until I eventually got another CDP for 3-4 times the price. A slight lack o... |
