| vintage integrated KT_88, The bright highs you mentioned is probably the high use of negative feedback as I mentioned. Old capacitors can probably be some of the cause as well. I bought a refurbished Marantz 2270 on Ebay for my Dad and he's enjoying listening to his... | |
| The most emotional amp out there? 213Cobra, Which version of the VAC Avatar did you listen to? | |
| vintage integrated If you want to go vintage, then by all means go tube. Try to find an older late 50's early 60's Pilot 402 receiver or if you don't need the tuner section, one of their integrateds of the same era. I have read that same era Scott,Fisher and Eico ar... | |
| Review: DCM TimeWindow 1 Speaker I just read the Ebay ad. This Aussie copied your review verbatim, even the mis-spelled words, LOL. | |
| Musical Concepts Modifications I have also known John Hillig for over 25 years. John highly modified my Hafler DH200 and completely rebuilt my Hafler DH101 with his own board back in 1977. I don't think he had his Musical Designs yet at that time. He has come a long way. Yes, J... | |
| AC cord polarity?? Does it matter??????? I have found that polarity is important. To my ears, when the polarity is wrong, the bass is dramatically reduced, soundstage shrinks, and midrange is less focussed. Listen to something with good bass that you're familiar with. The best bass respo... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I forgot to mention that my sources for listening are the McCormack UDP-1 universal player and a highly modded H/K Citation 18 tuner. No phono at this time. I sold my Linn Sondek a few years ago(dumb mistake), but I do have a very extensive LP co... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Well, Grant, I can't. They are new to me in that I haven't heard them all together. The units themselves are all broken in( including cables) with the exception of the preamp,which is brand new. So I can't say that the preamp sounds good in and of... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I would like to give a brief initial impression of the Audio Horizons TP 2.0n preamp. I have the "n" upgrade, which is $250.00. This includes the better, larger Hovland caps and some further quieting in the power supply. I just got my amps in yest... | |
| Tube Integrated for Von Schweikert VR4 Gen III HSE Thanks a lot for planting that seed of "lust" in my heart for the PHI's. I need to be satisfied for a while with the Musicblocs. Let us know how the Odyssey Stratos Mono's work out. | |
| Tube Integrated for Von Schweikert VR4 Gen III HSE I too look forward to your impressions, Grant. How ironic that my last system had the Odyssey Stratos Extreme(stereo, not monos) and now I'm changing to the new VAC Auricle Musicblocs. I did enjoy the Odyssey Stratos immensely, but there's somethi... | |
| Does anyone have the new VAC Phi 300 amplifier? Maril555, I will be glad to, but the amps are still in transit. I'll probably receive on Fri. and hopefully by early next week, I'll be able to leave some impressions. | |
| Does anyone have the new VAC Phi 300 amplifier? I think that the reason Kevin is gushing like a little kid is because with the new Phi products, he has broken ground with new technology that brings the listener that much closer to the real event. I recently bought the new Auricle Musicbloc mono... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I have read that the Counterpoint SA-5000A was considered one of the best when introduced, Very expensive as well. Peter Moncrieff of IAR praised it very highly. The TP-2.0 must be pretty special. I can't wait to get mine. I've already ordered som... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier RX8man, What preamp did the TP 2.0 replace in your system? |
