| ARC SP9 MK2 tubes Eagleman-If you can get a pair of Tungsram 6922's (red print) give these a try. I found them to really open up my old SP-9MkII pre amp. I used EH 6922 and they were smoother than the stock Sovteks for sure. The Tungsrams are very transparent and h... | |
| best shippers? Also highly recommend Bax Global. | |
| How much difference between balanced XLR and RCA Ozfly pretty much has great advice. I have heard RCA's sound just as good as XLR in any given set up. One place I hear a nice improvement is in a longer run of cable from my pre amp to amp. I found balanced did 3 things better in my set up. It low... | |
| ARC LS25 vs. LS16 MKII Similar, but not the same. The 25 has better regulation of the line voltage, is quieter, and offers seletable output gain. Its just more pre amp overall. | |
| Anyone used Plinius SA250 in monoblock mode? I have never run my SA 250 bridged in mono,nor have I had the opportunity to hear them as such, so I can't be of much help. However, the second part of your question can best be answered by shooting an email over to Peter Thomson at Plinius NZ. I ... | |
| Von Schweikert VR2 vs Sonus Faber Grand Piano H I am in agreement with Oz. They were too forwatd a speaker for my tastes and although the imaging and soundstageing was good..it was not exceptional or as good as VSA touted them to be. The rear tweeter was more of a nusense in the long run. I mig... | |
| good amp for b&w N802 Plinius SA 250. Power and finess. Tube like mids, excellent tight deep base, and will keep the Very Detailed Nautilus Tweeter from going over the top and becoming harsh. Really shines in XLR balanced, but I think the CJ is all RCA single ended. Ei... | |
| Who makes a "true" Transmission Line speaker?... Trelja-Thanks for your info on the Ushers. -Ken | |
| Who makes a "true" Transmission Line speaker?... Trelja- May I ask what models in the Usher line you got a listen to? I am going with a 6381 myself, as I hear great things about them. Thansk-Ken | |
| Best speaker cables for Thiel CS2.4 speakers I had a pair of 2.3's a few years back. I ran Alpha Core M1 Centerstages. (copper cable) I also tried Quicksilver's Silver 4'cables from my then M80 Monoblocks. All of which sounded fair, but not great, and I never did find the best cable for them... | |
| B&W 801 s 3 or???? Audiobugged-Boy, I hear you. We could be looking all different stuff 6 mos from now. the way things change! I hope not..but Im sure there is something Ill want to try down the road! Cheers! | |
| B&W 801 s 3 or???? Yes, I actually came across my pair of 801's as they were my Dads. It was quite unexpected actually. They replaced a pair of VonSchweikert VR2's which were good sounding after breaking in..but just too forward for my tastes and not quite dynamic e... | |
| B&W 801 s 3 or???? Oldpet- In my case I am looking at the Usher line. The price/performance seems very good. A buddy has heard the 8871's are were excellent although not fully broken in when he heard them, his feeling was they sounded much better than their price(wh... | |
| B&W 801 s 3 or???? As an 801 S2 owner for about 6 months now, I am having a hard time replacing mine. Ive been all over the map in 24 years from Planers, E-stats, boxes big and small. But the 801's do many things well and are not too offensive to my ears. Ive slowly... | |
