| Battle of the BAT's, VK-60 vs. VK-220 Based on a long listening session at a dealer, I came away from your dilemma thinking the vk-200 would be a better choice, primarily because you listen (like me) to mostly rock and roll. The dealer suggested that one of the tubed bat preamps would... | |
| ipod and dac? Thanks for sharing Onhwy61. I guess the next step is figuring out what kind of soundcard to get that has digital outs. Since I have a laptop, I'll have to find either a USB card or a pcmia card. In the limited research I've done, it seems USB card... | |

| Best value speakers available I bought my Totem Rokks used but in great condition from a guy on EBay after they didn't sell in his auction-- $325 for the pair with Lovan Stands. I drove 1 hour to audition them and bought them on the spot. I'm having a great time with them in m... | |
| Where do tubes matter most??? I really think the power amp is where tubes matter the most. My experience is more limited to guitar amps, but they certainly are amplifiers.I own a class A tube preamp made by Matchless, which is quite a great item, btw. I also own a '67 Fender S... | |
| Can I/Should I Bridge my power amp? Thanks guys-- especially Sean. I was actually able to understand your response, which means you must understand what you're talking about. I willproceed accordingly.D | |
| Front port vs. Rear Port Thanks to all-- I appreciate the info. I clicked on the "near backwall placement" thread and it was helpful too. As long as we're on the topic, the range of monitors I'm looking in is the SF Concerto and smaller Energy Veritas, that sort of thing ... |
