| Aesthetix Calypso Power Cord I us a Fusion Audio Enchanter - it was a VERY nice and large improvement over other cables I had used (Blacksand, Sororan etc..) - it almost made as much of an improvement as the Mullard 10M 12ax7's. | |
| Vandersteen 5A biwire shotgun absolutely required? all good points, and thanks for the comments. The reason I ask is because Synergistic Research states this:"Shotgun Bi-Wire vs. TESLA IFT Bi-Wire:One option that does not take advantage of IFT Bi-Wire is a shotgun termination of two parallel speak... | |
| Vandersteen 5A biwire shotgun absolutely required? Davemitchell: I have #2. I think I'll just stay with what I have and save some money. Experimenting always costs me $$ and usually the result isn't worth it ;)ThanksTony | |
| Supratek Malbec. Any user opinions? I have the Supratek Burgundy monos. They are a 4 chassis design that Mick produced between 2003-2005. He no longer makes them due to the time required to build. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about them. The Burgundy's are 100wpc. B... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? probably my Supratek Burgundy amps - 4 chassis - 100wpc 6c33 output tubes. Running in balanced mode I can bypass the 1st gain stage(6922) - transparency is amazing ;) | |
| Power Cord Revelation I use a Fusion Audio enchanter on my Aesthetixs linestage - absolutely amazing difference for the better. They do take a bit of time to smooth out though... Eric Love(Fusion Audio) is great to work with! ;)Tony D. | |
| Analysis Plus Oval 9 & Vandersteen 3As I'm using the Synergistic Research Tesla Accelerators on my 5A's. They aren't a true biwire as Richard recommends but they work excellently with the 5A's IMO. SR doesn't seem to think a true external biwire is necessary with their wire. YMMV ;)Tony | |
| How many have heard the Beveridge Electrostatics? I remember hearing the 2's in high end shop in Jacksonville, FL - "Audio Etc..." It was 1984 or so. The 2's were driven by Audio Research amps and sounded absolutely fantastic. I couldn't afford them and ended up buying some Acoustat 1+1's. Someon... | |
| Vandersteen 5A barrier strip question thanks! | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I wonder if anyone else has the Supratek Burgundy amps? They are 100 wpc and 4 chassis. They sound absolutely fantastic. I've had them about 8 months. I haven't seen much written about them. I understand that Mick stopped making them because the w... | |
| Anyone know how good MHDT Labs Paradisea DAC is? when I bought mine I asked several questions thru Ebay and each time got a response. I bought mine about 5 months ago and still love it ;) He also included 3 tubes instead of the usual 1 GE.Tony | |
| are all power conditioners noisy? I have a BPT and as was mentioned it is dead quiet. I've had 2 Powervar's and they both hummed so much I had to sell them. The Powervar's also killed dynamics on my system although at the time I was only using it for my preamp and CD player... | |
| Preamp recommendations for a Butler TBD2250? I'm using a Tact 2.0S. It does normal preamp functions and room correction. I have a DAC card installed too. Works great with the 2250's - I have 2 running in Mono. I had the Tact fully modified by Aberdeen components - that made it much better!! ... | |
| Ultimate Amplifier for the next 20 Years I agree with Mdconnelly about the Butler 2250. I'm using 2 in mono with great results. Very reveling and musical IMO - they also run cool - never hot to the touch. Very powerful at 800 wpc @ 8 ohms in mono. I drive my VR4-JR's with them. Highly re... |
