| David Elrod. the man , the cable the company. I'd also mention Robert at RSA. His knowledge, experience, and friendly sense of humor are what makes this often highly biased and opinionated hobby very refreshing! :) | |
| Best Speaker for $2500 Rock - Jazz, No Clue Usher 6371 is a fantastic speaker retailing in the $3K range. You should be able to find a demo pair in your range or less .Simply one of the BEST values for the money. They are neutral and dynamic, and are easily driven with moderate power. Bass ... | |
| What is the quietest preamp you've used? Agree also with Philjolet...Its amazing how quiet the tube Stingray is. | |
| What is the quietest preamp you've used? The most quiet was my old (now almost 23 years) Perrauex SM2 bought in 1983. It was a slim design and was a highly regarded pre amp. Although extremely quiet with almost no noise or hiss... with comparison by todays pre amps its most likely anythi... | |

| ARC VTM120 Any thoughts? Speaking as the only poster who seems to have ACTUALLY OWNED the VTM 120's here, and gave you my impressions...your most welcome! ;) As Jafox mentioned...you can certainly do better. I liked my SS D-200 better than the 120's. | |
| ARC VTM120 Any thoughts? I owned the 120 monoblocks a few years back. I paid about $1650 at the time..which was about book on them. Mine were not the SE version which have upgraded caps. I ran them on ML SL-3's and Von Schweikert VR2 for the time I owned them. Neither spe... | |
| Power cord upgrade on your Jolida JD-100? I bought a stock JD100 and tube rolled over the last few months, finally finding a pair of Ei Yogo ECC83 Gray Plates.(not elite gold pins) as the best sounding in my system. I use an Electraglide Ultra Khan 2 Revalation/Revised Statement on the JD... | |
| Manley Laboratories Amps-what do you think? I think the Manleys are a great recommendation for you. All their amplification from the integrated Stingray to the Monoblock powerhouses are known for their tight fisted power supply regulation and sound great with many types of speakers. IMO you... | |
