| Sistrum or Neuance or...? No, haven't been paid a thing. I'm just trying to help other audiophiles out. It really is that good. I've been through a lot of tweaking. This is really the best. It's a full system upgrade and I've got good stuff to begin with. | |
| What IC's ans Speaker Cable for VAC Amps? The VAC is great the way it is. It bettered everything I've ever tried or owned - period. Enjoy. However...you should try the stand, if possible. It really is that much better. Try the cable. It's all copper, very musical. Start with that. If you ... | |
| What IC's ans Speaker Cable for VAC Amps? Sonoran Plateau with my Phi 110's, by the way it's an awesome amp isn't it! I love mine and Kevin at VAC is the best. www.audiopoints.com for the cable. Very musical, detailed and dynamic. Great mid - 3d - excellent bass and extended treble - 100 ... | |
| What are your favorite monitors? Currently, I am running the Diapasons - adamante's. They go down into the 30's and image very well. Depth is also outstanding. I have replaced the stands they come with, to the sistrum stands which was a big improvement. But for everyone out there... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Guys, I got the upgraded amp stand and yes its quite a nice improvment. I am definitely keeping it. Everything is just better. Better dynamics, lower noise floor, bigger soundstage, cleaner sound, better highs and lows. It took about 10 days for t... | |
| First Sound compared to Supratek, VAC, or Audio No The VAC REN is fantastic - agree completely with Bhouser. Bested a lot of preamps that I listened to, albeit not the ones listed above - Kevin, is one of the best if not the best in highend audio to deal with. He is open and honest - always willin... | |
| Are Wilson speakers springbok10, you are on the right track. Personally, I find tubes more engaging..so I would consider that as an option. There are a lot of speaker options in your price range. Part of the fun is the "listening search". As an interim suggestion, le... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? I tried various "stuff". You can email me for details. What surprised me the most was the level of improvement. Yes, I expected an improvement, but not as much as I got with the sistrum amp stand (and I have the lesser model). I have VAC equip. am... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? I have found the sistrum stands to work very well in my system. Surprising that PF recently recommended a $47k amp ONLY if you buy Sistrum stands with it? Well, it works very well on my "much less expensive amp" :). Try it, what have you got to lo... | |
| Diapason Adamantes II and III good speakers or no Guys, I just picked up Sistrum speaker stands from Starsound. I will try and post a review. But these things are fantastic. Here is what I experienced. Better bass, tighter, more extended. highs were more extended as well, but the great thing is t... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Gee, I posted the cement thing without even being a Sistrum owner...no bandwagon here. However, since posting, I recieved Sistrum stands for my speakers. Needless to say, I haven't "tested" them, nor have I returned to my physics books of twenty p... | |
| What's the best way to clean vacuum tube pins? dip them in cleaning acid. You can get it at hardware store. Be careful of course.... Dip pin only in a small glass container / small glass bowl or pyrex (only about 1/8 to 1/4 depth of acid) for about 30 seconds and then neutralize in baking soda... | |
| Diapason Adamantes II and III good speakers or no Try Audionut.com for the bybees. Yes you will need solder for this. Radioshack has solder iron for 9 bucks or less plus 6 bucks for the better solder. It's not that difficult to do. The soldering is frnakly the easy part. Getting the speakers off ... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? science has still not proven why cement hardens, go figure...last I looked folks were using a lot of it and liking it. | |
| Diapason Adamantes II and III good speakers or no I have the II's and would say the following: Also some suggestions. They are more revealing than you think. Musical yes and very musical at that. But every time I have changed cables, pucks, cones tweaks, mats, etc. you can hear the difference. Tr... |
