| Shakti Stones Do they actuall work guys. Snatch is a funny word....or so I believe. | |
| Need feedback from Bryston amp owners Sean, your comments might explain why my 4B SST shut down prematurely when driving Aerial 7B loudspeakers, and why I found both my 4B SST and 14B SST to be bright sounding. Anyway, I eventually sold them both. | |
| The under 10K speaker If you will consider used loudspeakers, the possibilities open way up. For example, Eggleston Works Andra II are amazing loudspeakers...detailed, resolving, and yet organic. And, used Von Schweikert VR4 Gen III HSE are a stunning no-brainer in the... | |
| Anyone using Nuforce Ref 9 Mono Blocks? I've never read posts by anyone so convinced about buying a product, and yet so afraid to write the check.Dazman, order some NuForce amps. You can return them for a refund if they don't work out for you. | |
| Upgrade Von Schweikert VR-4 to Dunlavy SC-IV? The VR4 Gen III HSE are better than the VR4JR. The Gen III HSE were considered the reference before the VR4SR was released. | |

| Anyone else evolve beyond tubes? 09-07-06: Snook2My info came from the gentleman who owns Vintage Tube Services. I ordered new tubes and he explained the problems he has with NOS in bulk. He checks all tubes before sending them off. Lots are failed or don't test to his standards.... | |
| Anyone using Nuforce Ref 9 Mono Blocks? 09-06-06: DazmanI'd like to hear more about the Odyssey amps.Terrific, deep, tight bass reminiscent of Bryston. Organic midrange that to me sounds more real and possessing more soul than NuForce amps that I heard several iterations ago, but perhap... | |
| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables 09-06-06: Virgo_refCheck out the original DCCA Audio cables. I'll vouch for the Biggest and Baddest qualifications of the early DCCA cables. Stiff...check. Heavy...check. Not easy to manueuver...check. Next topic? :)Oh yeah, the DCCA cords happen ... | |
| Anyone else evolve beyond tubes? Further he explains that the shipping process of tubes due to vibration cannot guarantee a perfectly working noiseless tube upon receipt.Phd (Threads | Answers)Then, it makes sense that the best tubes are NOS 6922PQ/7308/and Military designations ... | |
| Upgrade Von Schweikert VR-4 to Dunlavy SC-IV? Have you heard the VR4 Gen III HSE? Dynamics up the wazoo...fast...and clean.A used pair might be a good upgrade from your VR4 without breaking the bank. |
