| thoughts on MBL amps: 8011 vs 9007's No, switched to pair bryston 28sst's, never looked back. Great amps, got the mbl's to sing much better, less $$$$$. I recently switched my rig though, dropped all the Meridian gear and Mbl's, switched to Venture speakers, VAC pre, Ayon cd5s, but k... | |
| Best new 70" to 80" display I went and looked at the Mitsubishi DLP screens in both 82" and 94"; and compared to Sharp 80" in same store...both are pretty good, but I thought the picture quality was better with the DLP; more cinema like if you watch movies; sports I think is... | |
| VAC / Wilson cables Doug;Interesting statement regarding no longer liking the networked cable solution of MIT or Transparent...so what cable manufacturer do you like; and what type of material have you found to be good, i.e.; pure copper, blends of silver and copper,... | |

| Venture Audio Speakers Mike at Precision has even outdown himself, in my opinion. He is showing the new Venture upgraded speaker, which only has 2 7" woofers; a 5" midrange, and 2" tweeter; all proprietary designs with underhung voice coils and Abacaca carbon drivers, p... | |
| Why Not More Conversation about VAC? I sent my VAC Phi Beta preamp in for service; as I bought it used. Kevin and Brent kept me informed every step of the way; it was finished on time; Kevin spent a lot time listening to, tweaking it; and replacing the tubes with a matched set. It wa... | |
| Ear 868 compared to vac signature mkii oops; meant the VAC phi beta is close to the Signiture Mkii; not the EAR; my bad | |
| Ear 868 compared to vac signature mkii I auditioned an EAR 868 with my Bryston 28sst2's and enjoyed the combo; it was rich; full, easy to listen to...I purchased a VAC phi beta tubed preamp; which is sonically very close to the EAR; I thought the build quality on the VAC was much super... | |
| Any opinions on new type of amps from BMC, Hegel, sorry the thread is drifting off topic; even advertisers who disclose can provide reasonable info..and this info is worth what we are paying for it...which is only time on the 'net; we are smart enough to separate wheat from chaff; and I'm glad th... | |
| Any opinions on new type of amps from BMC, Hegel, TBg: Thanks for your note; yes; I saw yoursystem posted on Virtual systems; it looks great. But I don't think you accurately answered my questions about how the BMC amp works; and how is different from other amp designs. Does it sound best when pa... | |
| Which Multi-Channel Amp? I have a Parasound A-51 running balanced from my Marantz 7005; sound is rich and full; the amp is a beast; weights around 80 lbs; 5 channels at 250 watts/; and runs a bit warm; but built like a tank; with sound quality and punch is spades... | |

| Extremely High-End "Pre-Pro" Surround Pre-Amp I am using the Marantz 7005 in conjunction with a VAC phi beta pre; and am very pleased with the sonic qualities of both my two channel;and home theater.

| Best Preamp for Ayon Orthos II monoblocks? What about Ayon CD-5s; functions as integrated tubed DAC, transport; an preamp; should have great synergy with Ayon Amps...list new for $11.5; but sure you could get for a bit less... | |
| New Giant Television anyone compared picture quality; brightness; and sharpness between the Mitsui 75" laserview vs the 82" or 92" dlp's? The laser view seems attractive as you don't need the bulb changed; and it runs quieter without the fan noise..the laserview's are... |
