| c-j buffs: MV-55 vs. Premier 11a I've owned both and used them in the same system. I found the 11a to be much much better than the MV-55, all the way around especially in the bass. I had an 11a for 2&1/2 years and really enjoyed it.Then I got a BAT VK-60, and that's a very bi... | |
| BAT VK-60 tubes Scifi, Thanks for the tip. Just spent an hour at vintage tubes. Seems to be a good way to go. Have you bought any tubes there? Steve | |
| BAT VK-60 tubes Cfjohn, I was all set for the SE upgrade last year until Victor informed me of the board situation. And with "C" boards, it's not very cost effect at over $4k. So, I bought a 30SE preamp, and got all the SE magic plus big improvement on the 3i tha... | |
| Why so many Flaky Buyers? Interesting topic, as this has bothered me a bit too. Nothing against a little bargaining. It's the way of business in most of the world. However, it's easy to gauge a market price for an item here just by looking at what others are asking. I then... | |
| Opinions of Coincident CST interconnect? They need a very long time to do the break-in thing, like 2 or 3 months. I've found interconnects to not make all that much difference in a system due to the low level signal that they are passing. However the CST's DO make a difference. Give thes... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? The powersnakes website makes the most sense, until it gets to the magic stardust part. | |
| PC s and/or conditioners etc for BAT Thanks for all the replies. There is a variety of things that seem to work well. Victor at BAT is very reluctant to even broach the subject of aftermarket power cords. The PS Audio stuff seems to work but needs to be at least the 600 model. The ma... | |
| Speaker Cables - 15 Ft. or "No Wife" Jcidulka, I second the recommendation for the Coincident speaker cables. I replaced my long cherished Cardas cables with the Coincident CST and it was a match made in heaven for a tube amp to high efficiency speakers (just like you have). And best... | |
| Powersnakes power cords Another voice from the wilderness: A point seems to be missing here, and that is the particular component the pc is plugged in to. A pc only supplies power and filters the RFI/EMI. The component makes the sound. If cleaner power makes for "dirtier... | |
| Power cords - a BASIC question It's a basic question that needs a basic answer. Start with going to the powersnakes website (www.powersnakes.com) and reading the faq's section. A common assumption is that the power cord is at the end of the circuit. This is not true. Power runs... | |
| XLR for BAT VK-3i and VK-200? Go for Cardas! Used to own 3i and vk-60. Used Cardas Golden Hexlink 5C - nice, rich and smooth. With vk-200 you'll definitely need the Cardas richness! I've moved to a 30SE and am changing to a Coincident IC. Can make deal if you wish. | |
| Rogers LS3/5A Replacement Recommendation I owned Harbeth HLP3 and LS5/12a for 6 years and they are nice improvements on the LS3/5a. However, with small "woofers" you always get small sound. The 5/12's did have better bass than the P3's. Having heard the ProAc's I'd have to say that the H... | |
| Waveform mach solo's, Are they good? The Waveform Mach Solo is clearly the best speaker you cannot buy anymore. I've had my pair since May'00 and NOTHING(except the Mach 17's) else comes close to true music! Only about 25 pairs were made. Someday, a pair may show up on the used marke... | |
| Waveform Speakers I own a pair of Waveform Mach Solo's. I've had them since this May. They are truly outstanding in every way!! The clean clear sound is like nothing I've heard elsewhere. The bass response is to die for. The "egg" is more like the best minimonitor ... |
