| Better speakers than Von Schweiker VR4jr under 3k Better, I am a big VSA fan, so I'll say, different. My choice would be Maggies. | |
| 2nd system? Older Carver gear.... More a fan of Carver's amps. Having had the CT-17 pre amp tuner, I found to have good sound, just harder to operate in it having very small buttons and hard to see the writing on what button does what. I have two Carver amps, the Cube and the CB-1... | |
| Von Schweikert speakers.. Happy listenig with your VSA speakers, you are indeed in for a treat. I have found driving them with my 50 watt tube integrated, or my 250 watt SS Acurus amp to be audio heaven. | |
| NAD 1600 pre and 2700 amp; opinions? My time with the 1600 Pre Amp tuner was great. From the very useful tone controls to a better than run of the mill sound with good features, appreciated having the headphone output as well. WAF must be considered...but enjoy the Klipsch Hereseys a... | |
| No escrow? Excellent advice from those above..I use paypal with my credit card. The credit card company will go to bat for you if need be. And paypal can at least provide tracking information. At least to some degree. Check feedback from buyer or seller on t... | |
| Man Cave or No? To have a nice system and having your mate to listen with you from time to time ain't bad at all. When I built my "man cave", I did find myself becoming more disconnected from the wife and kids. Kids grow up so very fast and the wife,I would want ... | |
| Should repaired equipment be stated in the ad?? Should I sell my car, I would not hide the number of miles or the vechicle, nor would I if the stereo gear was repaired. Besides, for some, repaired gear, rated properly may have a higher value. In that there may be less of a problem in the future... | |
| Isaac Hayes A Great Sound and Great Soul. | |
| Best U.S.A. speakers? Maggies, and Wilson's, Klipsch..and yes even a mention for the good old 901's, | |
| KEF 103/4 loudspeakers; any comments Good to hear you are enjoying your Kef's 103'4s. They are one of the few pair of speakers, that I really wish I had from back in the day. | |
| question about breaking in speakers and amp Was never one to buy into the "break in period" needed for gear, until I had a chance to hear new mono tube amps, which should have blown my integrated away. It was not even close, returned back to the dealer whom kept them on a few days later... ... | |
| tube integrated amp recommendations? The SQ-88, 55 watt integrated may be worth a look. Remote control of the volume, three inputs. Self bias. Very well put together. More info can be found at Quest for Sound. Fun hunting. | |
| HTIB???? Just thinking a little out of the box..so to speak. You might consider not getting a full HTIB with the five speakers and a sub. But something like the Cambridge Soundworks i765. It has dvd player,ipod hook up etc, with speakers all in one box. So... | |
| wow first tube amp Check the bias for sure, but tubes can run a little warm. Congrats on the journey into the world of the "Glow". I have a SQ-88 integrated which will bias itself, and it is a slice of musical heaven. | |
| AT150MLX cart + Cambridge Audio 640P Phono Stage Veery interesting. Recently I picked up the 640P and bought my old Technices 1300 out of moth balls. Be it hooked up to my SS or tube integrated very nice sounding. My old records still make beautiful music. Good to read your comments on a possibl... |
