| VTL MB-450 "Generations" Good info on the not-quite-DIY cap upgrades as well as VTL's price and timeframe. Zaikes you mentioned Michael Percy who I hadn't heard of but found his web site, is that where you get your parts? He's more or less in my neck of the woods (about a... | |
| VTL MB-450 "Generations" So - if needed - what kind of a job is it to replace the caps? I'm decent with a soldering iron but I've mostly upgraded old tube guitar amps, not something with this level of build quality. I had thought of rolling to KT88's on next tube swap mys... | |
| VTL MB-450 "Generations" Wow! That's what's great about A'gon, not just facts and information (which is what I was looking for) but interpretation of the information and advice about what's most important.So along the way there was: A signature output transformer, Resisto... | |
| Help Choosing Subwoofers Doesn't look like I could get a pair of DD-15's but maybe the 12's. However reading about the Nola (current name for Alon) ThunderBolt III has me intrigued. Looks like they would work well in my HT system and if I ever wanted to try they would als... | |
| New VTL Stereo Amp? They sent me a spec sheet on the new ST-150, specs are similar - a few less watts per channel. Looks like (4) 6550C / channel instead of (2) on the previous (if the online specs are right for the old one). If that's true it's bound to sound a leas... | |
| Pink Floyd's Pulse DVD finally Went to BestBuy to get a copy of Pulse and saw only 4:3, does anybody know if there's a widescreen (16:9) version? Thanks. | |
| Help Choosing Subwoofers Thanks for the ideas guys, the 750 was on my list and I think I can get my dealer to loan me one to audition. Haven't heard of the Alon's or MJ's but I'll do some reading, thanks again. | |
| What's the oldest piece of gear in your system? I too still have a Threshold 4000's from 1979, just packed up my oldest piece yesterday, a Technics SP-10 from around 1974. | |
| What colors match for interconnects? So R_f I think you may have hit upon why Audio Research preamps sound so good (to many ears), where most companies put the left channel in/outs on the top and the right on the bottom, ARC reverses this and puts the right on the top. I'm sure this ... | |

| How could you go wrong for $240.01? And I suppose you don't care if they're ripping off someone elses design? | |
| How's aboutnthese new Diamond B&W's??? I have listened to the 802D's and was very impressed; smooth response, great imaginging, and well defined. Sinced I haven't heard the previous model I can't tell you whether they are "worth the difference" but they have made the short list on my s... |
