| Solid state warm up? It's not the blame that the amp can't drive speakers. Certainly it can, but it's a fact that there are amps that can drive these speakers better than VK250SE and the llist is HUGE even if taken the same budget point. | |
| VTL Compact 80 Issue You've damaged 1k resistor that you actually read the bias voltage from and tube as well.You can order this or a few resistors from OM.Check if there's no visual damage (leaks, blown like baloon) to electrolytics for offset supply of that tube. Bi... | |
| A personal challenge only mary-joanna for me on weekends or holidays.getting tough to consume alcohole for me, but a little drag of green tea or few weed-butter cookies would make my holiday or weekend happy. | |
| Solid state warm up? Daverz,leaving the amp on or off 24/7 is absolutely irrelevant to this issue. you can trust BAT specs but only for very short duration and for quiet music such as small jazz band, chamber(where OP describes sweetness of sound). in all other cases ... | |
| Micro Seiki DDX1000 problems Peterr53, where you're located? | |

| Solid state warm up? It's not the best model of VK and more than certainly it can't do 300/4Ohms(sorry only on 'holidays':-)). It does better job with lighter speakers than you have. So I suspect mismatch of components.An upgrade to your B&K might be Wyred4Sound S... | |
| Solid state warm up? Don't know which B&K reference, but it seems that your speakers need more power beyond vk-250SE capabilities. | |
| Totem speakers and others that I should consider? Sleepless, Listening fatigue from Forests? Never had one for past 10 years of usage. | |
| Totem speakers and others that I should consider? Forests are IMHO the best speakers built by Totem line. There are better models than Totem Winds/Shaman at higher price ranges.Did anyone mentioned Nola Contender? I believe that it's a value winner of the year. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Ebm, Which model, year? | |
| Free speaker tweak that's a must do Only in case if you receive ones with ones that you can unscrew with fingers. Overtorque may be worse than under. | |
| Top 10 Snafus to avoid when building a good rig One of the main ones is Thinking that others make mistakes and you don't. | |
| Tube pre-amp with parasound jc-1's most of tube ARC have very high gain that JC1 would not need.Cary SLP02 mentioned seemed to be the value winner while other mentioned models could be superior in performance. | |
| Christmas Music and Audiophiles? Exactly!That's the only thing sucks about Christmas!Showing up at shopping mall and everywhere listening to that Jingle Bell... Ughhh...The soona the beta to getoutathere. |
