| Tube Integrated for Von Schweikert VR4 Gen III HSE Great word of mouth. Great specs...for what they're worth (200 wpc, lots of current delivery, 1 Hz-600,000 Hz frequency range...???, 360,000 uF capacitance).Plus, they are priced less than $2900/pair, and come with a generous audition period.With ... | |
| what is a high end component ? High end is not synonymous with minimal distortion, IMO. A $200 Technics consumer HT receiver has much lower distortion specs than my VAC Phi 110/110, but the VAC sounds better and has considerably better build quality. There are many elements tha... | |
| any recommendations for a rich 6922 tube ? Brimar or Mullard E88CC. | |
| Home made absorption panels..... You're welcome Classical1. I'd upload a photo if I could figure out how.I think the bookcase solution works really well, but from a diffusion standpoint rather than an absorption standpoint. This may be semantics, but there is a difference in the ... | |
| Home made absorption panels..... Cut 3/8" foam core art board to any size you like. Cover the foam core art board with one or two layers of light Dacron batting used for quilting. Use spray craft adhesive to hold the Dacron in position on the front of the foam core, and use duct ... | |
| Does anyone have the new VAC Phi 300 amplifier? It's confusing because the Phi 300 looks like a Beta 110, but the Phi 300 is an amplifier, not an integrated amplifier, so no, it does not have an optional phono stage. | |
| Tube Integrated for Von Schweikert VR4 Gen III HSE Before I give up on the separates all together, I've decided to try a pair of Odyssey Extreme Monos. | |
| Does anyone have the new VAC Phi 300 amplifier? Quite a lot, actually. 150 wpc stereo, 300 wpc mono bridged. $15,000.VAC Phi 300 | |
| i want a dull, caramel colored cd player any ideas Are you aware there are two versions? The VK-D5se utilizes 6H30 SuperTubes whereas the VK-D5 utilizes the 6922. The 6H30 tube is very linear and precise. The 6922 version will offer more opportunities to tube roll and warm up the sound to your lik... | |
| 'warm' cables? Type "warm" into the Keyword window and selected the Cables category.I just did this and got a list of threads. | |
| 'warm' cables? Have you tried searching the archives? I believe there are already a handful of threads discussing this very topic. | |
| Electraglide Epiphany -X VS Shunyata I don't think of this as an issue of synergy but rather to simply choose the product that most greatly brings forward the sonic attributes that are most important to each of us. For some it might be the ultimate in top-end extension and resolution... | |
| Electraglide Epiphany -X VS Shunyata The folks at Purist Audio are also good people (ditto for Shunyata and Acoustic Zen). That counts for something in my opinion.I agree wholeheartedly with the issue of wire/electronics synergy. | |
| jolida jd 100 and rca command 5751 Your associated gear is limiting the effect you will hear by rolling tubes in the Jolida. No disrespect. It's just the way it works. As any system moves toward higher end gear, the system's ability to resolve detail increases...like that which wou... | |
