| Paradisea Dac I replaced my 3500 Wavelength Cosecant with the Paradisea + and could not be happier. The Paradisea is much funner to listen to. Month since owning it I'm am still thrilled and amazed by how good it sounds. I also picked up a Constantine and it is... | |
| Newbie seeks advice - please help Marty, Enjoy and let us know how what you think when you get it up and running. | |
| Ayre K1X vs K1Xe Mike, Yes please do let me know what you think after the upgrade.Ryan | |
| Jump in now or wait? I would jump in now, but I would consider the MHDT Labs Paradisea + DAC instead. Sold factory direct through Ebay only, as well as seen here used occasionaly. I replaced my 3500 Wavelength Cosecant with the Paradisea + and was thrilled with IMPROV... | |
| VTL MB450 monos Vs. BAT VK 60se monos? You won't be getting a dark sound with the VK Se version amps, they are anything but that. Depending on your Accuphase you may just be making a sideways move, especially if you are giving up power to go to the VK60se. | |
| VTL MB450 monos Vs. BAT VK 60se monos? Peter, I guess they must just mate a lot better with my Ayre K1x pre better possibly? Don't get me wrong I do like all the amps mentioned a lot, but for me everyday realities like massive heat output as well as the need to turn the amps on and off... | |
| VTL MB450 monos Vs. BAT VK 60se monos? I have owned both amps, though my BATs were the 150SEs. The BATs probably sound a little better, but they don't have the brute strength that the VTLs do. If you need a lot of power or are used to it you might be disappointed by the BAT amps. I per... | |
| Table/Cartridge price ratio I'd have to say in my experience I totally disagree with Samujohn. There is a huge difference between 500 and 3000 dollar carts, more money gets you more magic usually. Now you can have a great time with a 300 dollar cart, just don't fool yourself... | |
| Newbie seeks advice - please help Marty, Sounds like you want a good sounding budget system and don't want to fuss with it much beyond that. I don't think you will be dissapointed with either the Music Hall amp or the Outlaw. Personally I would try and buy all this stuff used if y... | |
| System advice I would spend every cent I could on a top notch preamp and go from there as funds allow. | |
| speaker cable recommendation for Innersound Kaya Wow! Looking at your system I see that you replace the Vandy 5s with the Kayas? What a change that must be. I had the Eros Mk3s and just could never get used to the 12" sweet spot and the relatively weak dynamics compared to dynamic box speakers. ... | |
| Von Schweikert 4SR...bi-wire or Remote Sense? I have the SRs and think they have always sounded better biwired. You have a pretty unique situation there and I would be surprised if you can find someone who has gone from Speltz to the Remote Sense cables with the Spectron and the VR4SRs, but w... | |
| What Solid State PreAmp? While I have not tried a lot of high dollar preamps the Ayre K1x was a revalation in my system. | |
| AZ Absolute; which is I'm pretty sure AZ has a 30 day money back guarantee. Call and talk to Robert Lee, assuming you bought them new and see what he says I bet he will give you your money back if you can blame it on the new cables. | |
| Amplifier for Avantgarde Duos I owned the Duos for about 3 years and I thought they far and away sounded best with the Audiopax 88 mono amps. I owned the BAT VK150SEs and used them on the Duos which to my ear was not a great combo, but I guess others disagree since they did sh... |
