| Herron VTSP 2 or First Sound PreAmps First Sound Presence Deluxe II is Flavor 1. | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4.5 vs. VS VR-4 Gen III HSE I do notice that the speakers only start to come alive once they have enough "critical power" from the amp. Below a certain threshold, you don't get the magic.Tube540 (Threads)This is true of the VR4 Gen III HSE. Mine sounded best at levels above ... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4.5 vs. VS VR-4 Gen III HSE The VR4 Gen III HSE are phenomenal speakers. Very revealing of upstream components and wire. I drove mine with a VAC Phi 110/110 and a Moscode 401HR. Both amps were terrific matches, with the VAC Phi 110/110 being a touch more holographic, and the... | |
| Python Alpha versus VH Audio AirSine PS Audio UO do more harm than good when it comes to system sound, IMO. You're better off going straight to the wall.Look at the Environmental Potentials EP-2050 whole house surge and filtration system. $650, plus the cost of installation by your e... | |
| Herron VTSP 2 or First Sound PreAmps While the FS Presence Deluxe II is an excellent preamp (I owned one), I'm not sure I would associate it with having more body than a solid state preamp. It's a pretty neutral piece of gear.Tube maintenance is simple as long as you have easy access... | |
| Tube Integrated - Narrowed down to 4 - Help pls Buy used and experiment with a couple. Maybe you'll get lucky and love the first one you purchase. Between the Rogue amps, the Cronus gets more positive recognition among owners and reviewers. | |
| Polish for adagios? 01-27-08: NsgarchOr McGuires Quick Detailer Mist and Wipe.This was the other brand I was trying to recall. I believe the Mercedes Benz branded detailing spray is manufactured by McGuires.The stuff really works nicely, IMO. | |
| Polish for adagios? On my piano black speakers, I use Mother's Showtime spray. I imagine any one-step, quick detailer for autos would work well. The best I have used is Mercedes Benz Quick Wipe. | |
| Review: LessLoss Filtering Power Cable Power cord Well, I compared the Lessloss to the other cords because those are what I have heard and owned. There was no intention to place any relative value based on price.The value of a cord is tied to how one likes it, and can often be unrelated to price,... | |
| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? I appreciate your efforts, Crem1.The rest can twist. | |
| Review: LessLoss Filtering Power Cable Power cord In my system, I find these power cords to have a somewhat relaxed presentation in the highs and upper mids. Attacks and decay are not as pronounced as with other power cords I have owned such as ElectraGlide Epiphany and Elrod EPS-2. Micro detail ... | |
| Tube/SS synergy? I use an Atma-Sphere MP1 preamp with solid state Belles 150A Reference amplifiers, which I run balanced. As Unsound guessed, the combination works very well. Likely, the MP1 would also work well with Pass amps.The Atma preamp is not tubey (bloated... | |
| Better than my 32" Sony Wega XBR? 01-20-08: Tonyptony...is anyone here saying that their flat panel set - of any type - can better a XBR in the areas of color accuracy*, shadow detail, and consistent image over a broad viewing angle?The NBC television network still uses HD CRT dis... | |
| Better than my 32" Sony Wega XBR? No 4:3 standard definition upconverted picture on a flat panel display will come close to the picture on the Sony XBR.However, if your source is letterbox high definition, then a flat panel display will be better from the standpoint of resolution,... | |
