| Tubes for the BAT VK5i I was able to get all my NOS tubes here on Agon from various buyers. The best tubes were from "fat_cat"..Mike should be able to help you. Also "sam1104" talk to Sam. "Guidosmalibu" talk to Vassil. and "zkid" Bob sometimes has nice 6L6's avail. The... | |
| Newburgh, New York I use to live in Wallkill years ago. If I were still up there Id love that! Signed...Moved to Atlanta with regrets. | |
| Tubes for the BAT VK5i Indeed time.. The bass on the 5i should be anything but light. One of the best attributes of the 5i was its bass. As a former owner, I found the combination of Seimens 7308 gold Pins in the 6( 3 per side) gain stage tubes and the AC shunt 6922(out... | |
| Stand for VPI Scout Red2 has some good points and good advice.I just had a 20x30 inch piece of granite cut and polished as the base for my Aries to sit on..According to the maker, granite is much better than even marble for isolation and resonance control. I use a Pl... | |
| JMW9/Dynavector 17D2 setup Joe, You need a lighter counterweight due to the diff in cart weight.Call VPI and they will exchange the one you have for a nice drop lightweight( they took my reg. weight and exchanged at N/C!!)Give them a call back and they will send it out pron... | |
| How much does your system retail for? Hey Doug...did you figure in the Triplaner..That should put you over the top, no? | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? My Plinius SA 250 will be around for a while( I hope) | |
| Von Schweikert VR2 vs VR3 VR2...It has increaced dynamics and low end over the 3.The 3 is a fine speaker, but will not have the impact the 2 has, and would be a better choice for jazz,vocal type music. | |
| Dynavector Cartridge Load 100ohms or 47k ohms? What??? I have a headache now!! | |
| going to tubes, just one question.. Great move. I think you have basically 2 choices in your set up depending on your musical tastes.If you value the immediate and intimate sound of smooth club type jazz, vocal presence, chamber or light orchestral works, you may want to pair a SET ... | |
| Mcintosh and magnepans Hi Shaman, Here is my fess-up story!I was using tube amps with dynamic speakes, and as a prevoius Maggie owner of 1.5's, and 2.7's...I deceided to go back to Maggies and swapped out my Thiels with another member for a nice pair of MG 3.3's. Then i... | |
| AMP-Preamp Combo for Vandersteen 2CE's My own 2c agrees with everyone else here. Having owned them for a few years,SS and tubes work well.with some power above the 30W range definately., I actually bought mine after a demo using a Jadis Defy7 amp from a Esoteric Transport/DAC.It was th... | |
| Dynavector Cartridge Load 100ohms or 47k ohms? Dougdeacons answer and methodology is spot on IMO.and all other posts are good points as well IMO... I also use the 17D2MkII on a JMW10/Aries combo, but with a Bent audio SUT into an ARC PH3SE. For me, experimentation similar to the way he suggest... | |
| Best used speaker for $2,000 for rock music Im not a BIG JBL fan. However, I would agree that they are very good speakers especially for the rocking dynamics you want. I have heard the 250Ti's some years back and liked them for their excellent dynamics..There is a pair of 250's for sale her... | |
| Why the switch from Kharma/Tenor to DarTZeel/VSA Great thread! Although every piece of equipment mentioned (including the Buick Regal!) is way out of my league(well maybe not the Buick) I have to say that If you can afford it...by all means knock your selves silly and compare as much as you can ... |
