| Any fellow VAC Phi 220 owners out there? Thoughts? Not necessarily. The music has more "life" and body with the preamp in the chain. And, for some reason there is more HF noise (hiss) going direct with the digital volume control. | |
| Any fellow VAC Phi 220 owners out there? Thoughts? No PW yet. Hell, I've just discovered I can run my VAC Phi 110/110 with zero negative feedback running the APL direct, thus avoiding the preamp altogether. This is a whole new Pandora's Box that will require some exploration. No worries, though, I... | |
| Any fellow VAC Phi 220 owners out there? Thoughts? Any of you hear both?Are you serious? You KNOW you'll be the first in this audiophool community to hear both. | |
| Any fellow VAC Phi 220 owners out there? Thoughts? Well, interesting experiment tonight. I went direct to the VAC Phi 110/110 with the APL Denon 3910 and tried Zero Negative Feedback on the VAC. Eureka! No distortion. Even though I had tried going direct to the VAC with the APL, I hadn't tried it ... | |
| Any fellow VAC Phi 220 owners out there? Thoughts? In this article from the VAC website, Kevin Hayes discusses his design philosophy and specifically mentions that the Renaissance series of VAC amps are class A1. Now, I don't know if that applies to the Phi series. That would be a question for Ke... | |
| Need quality flexible power cord for CD player.... Really flexible, and great reviews...and so inexpensive it's undeservedly dismissed as "unworthy"...Absolute Power Cord $49.Still flexible, but higher up the $$$ scale, and really good (neutral...no tone control like the Shunyata Black Mamba) is t... | |
| Audiogon's Audiophile Wise men, I need advice From past experience, I can tell you it's difficult to be make a good objective decision when you're under the pressure of a "good deal" that may go away. The best thing is to listen, and continue to listen over several days, if possible.I did som... | |

| Cyndi Lauper & Tom Waits in Phantom of the Opera That'd be the best thing that ever happened to that show. Nice casting, you Fool!. | |
| Review: Denon APl 3910 CD Player Brent, I've found terrific results with Michael Wolff's Source Cord. More pleasing in my system than the outstanding and overlooked TG Audio 688 cord. No doubt that the APL 3910 is an excellent player. I'm looking forward to hearing it with the up... | |
| APL 3910 owners, has anyone tried APL upsampler? Thanks for the info, Frank. You've heard both, and your opinion carries considerable weight. Lucky you to be the ONLY ONE.. | |
| Musical Fidelity A5 CDP vs. Tri-Vista or others Brian, end your quest and buy an APL Denon 3910. No BS. Unless you're searching for Musical Fidelity equipment for a specific reason... | |
| Any fellow VAC Phi 220 owners out there? Thoughts? Fsarc, you might try some Revelation ICs just for kicks. They really opened up my system. Something tells me I don't have my set-up quite right with my VAC 110/110 because it sounds distorted when running zero feedback, and I know this is what Kev... | |
| What's after Supratek Artg, that was well said. I'd also add to the list of criteria: manufacturer's longevity, manufacturer's customer and/or product support. Though these criteria do not count as much as the sound of the product, poor customer support will echo longe... | |
| RIP Paul Hester of Split Enz, Crowded House It's hard to imagine the demons that some people suffer. I saw Crowded House twice, and each time Paul Hester spent the entire concert playing like a madman and laughing...looking like he really was enjoying himself. |
