| Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why? Rockethouse, I used to see Billy Sheehan perform with Talas in the Buffalo, NY area in the late 70's. Terrific band, but he was always the feature. | |
| Any fellow VAC Phi 220 owners out there? Thoughts? Fsarc, considering the possible differences in synergy between tube and SS, I thought it might be beneficial to hear them both in your system. I respect that you've made your choice. Perhaps I'll walk the walk and order a pair of RAL to compare to... | |
| The most detailed speaker cable?? The sad thing about the Rsbeck/Sean debate is that they both make points that are valid and useful, yet neither seems willing to accept any techniques or viewpoints of the other. Am I reading this incorrectly?Holy smokes, there's enough of this go... | |
| Any fellow VAC Phi 220 owners out there? Thoughts? Fsarc, wouldn't it be relatively easy for you and your friend to swap RAL and AirSine cords for a week or so? Seems like this would be an ideal way for each of you to try excellent new cords in your own systems? Have fun with the Phi2.0! | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Bon, I'm not going to get into another debate about whether the APL Denon 3910 is better than the Modwright 999ES. Some people hear one thing and prefer it over another, and others prefer something else. I have heard both the Modwright Sony 999ES ... | |
| Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why? I'll add Dean Peer for his mind blowing harmonics. | |
| Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why? My favorite bass player today is Tony Levin. Prior to him, I'd have to go with Entwhistle.But, my favorite interview of a bass player is on National Lampoon's "That's Not Funny, That's Sick", in which Mr. Rogers (Christopher Guest) interviews a fu... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Guido, that's an old review from July/August of 2004. While it's a glowing review, I have two issues with it. First, Mr. Levi claims the Modwright Sony 999ES to be the best digital playback available as of the time of writing the article. Has Mr. ... | |
| Any fellow VAC Phi 220 owners out there? Thoughts? Scotty, I've been using TG Audio 688 power cords, and just recently purchased two VH Audio AirSine cords to try on the VAC Phi 110/110 and my Hydra 4. I've had the Vh Audio cords only a week, so it's too early to provide any feedback. I'm going to... | |
| The most detailed speaker cable?? Howard, I'm not siding one way or the other on this issue. I just agree with Rsbeck that it's important to look at more variables than just wire. We all agree on this. Harnellt says in his original query, "I want something that is I guess on the b... | |
| Mating power cords with APL 3910 John, I look forward to Grant's response, too. You asked: "I would like to isolated the high-current amps from the low-current APL. And, if its is not too costly to isolate the right channel from the left to reduce cross-channel talk and contamina... | |
| The most detailed speaker cable?? Rsbeck's suggestion of examining one's room and system configuration to trouble-shoot a sonic problem makes common sense to me. It's possible that folks asking questions about cables as a solution to a problem haven't considered whether room treat... | |
| Any fellow VAC Phi 220 owners out there? Thoughts? Scotty333, thanks for your thoughts. Alex informs me the problem has to do with the 35dB gain of the VAC phi 110/110 when going direct to the amp, and with the amp in the zero global feedback mode. Alex is fashioning a pair of adapters to correct ... | |
| Mating power cords with APL 3910 John, this page might be useful to compare power conditioners from several manufacturers. Also, the UPC-200 competes with the Hydra 4 and other products in this line are forthcoming.Just FYI... | |
| tube upgrade for first sound Artg has it right. Swap the two left channel tubes and the two right channel tubes. If the distortion moves to the left channel, you know it's one of the tubes. To determine whether it's the OA2 or 6922 tube, swap them with their partner one at a ... |
