| New Bel Canto Gear at RMAF P.S. All other American class D amps (with exception of Jeff Rowland 312) are using inferior switching "weak" power supplies which do not allows great headroom for the feeling of power and effortlessness. Dob (Reviews | Threads | Answers)The Ameri... | |
| Why did you switch from Audio Research Ref 3? Nick778, I would recommend starting a new thread with your question. | |
| Grading Used Lps: What to look for? Dan_ed, If you're serious, then I'm happy to send you a list of LPs, which I will offer at the price I paid plus shipping.It might save us time if you mention what styles interest you and what styles don't interest you. | |
| Grading Used Lps: What to look for? What you describe is precsely why my LP buying has dropped off significantly in favor of CDs.I haven't found a reliable solution other than to buy from sellers whose gradings I trust (based on good past experience), and personally inspecting LPs b... | |
| Another Cable Burn-in Question If you don't hear something that pleases you now at the 100 hour mark with the Signal Cable, then I'd move on.Consider copper. | |
| Best CDP under $500?..... Used market Keep the PD-65, it's one of the better transports available (Pioneer stable platter), and superior to anything in a $500 CD player made today.You'd be better off adding a new (used) DAC for $500, IMO (MHDT Labs Paradisea + or Havana, Northstar 192... | |
| Why did you switch from Audio Research Ref 3? I found the sound of the ARC Ref3 to be a bit flat and uninspired. There was a lack of dynamics and life to the music that I wanted to hear. I prefer the Lamm L2 Reference to the ARC Ref3 in my system, which utilizes Pass Labs XA-60.5 amplifiers a... | |

| VAC owners, sound off It's always amazing to me how discussion over a topic as trivial and unimportant as a stereo system can ruffle up so much antagonism and defensiveness among participants.It's not a life altering decision. It's a stereo. | |

| VAC owners, sound off I don't believe you can conduct an objective comparison of any VAC preamp, even of current production, with a preamp from anther company. Every company produces a product that is different from the others. VAC has a "house sound". It's clear and d... | |
| VAC owners, sound off Bottom line...IMO...If you find a VAC preamp (I'm assuming this is what you're after) at a price that suits you, then buy it. Listen to it, and determine if it's what you want.As has been mentioned previously, VAC is classic, high quality gear (sh... | |

| Best transport for $500.ooish Many believe the Oppo DVD universal players make good transports. I've never head one.I'd look for a used: Sony DVP-7700ES, Pioneer PD-69, or Parts Connexion modded Music Hall CD25.2. |
