| What's the story with Borresen speakers ? Thanks for your detailed explanation and congrats on being a flagship dealership. My experience with the Borresen speakers have been nothing but positive. When mated to Aavik Acoustics gear, as they usually are, the sound is sublime. Last year ... | |
| VAC Pre-amp to roll or not to tube roll... Yes they are special and worth every penny IMO. The red tipped 12AX7’s from Brent are $575 a pair. | |
| VAC Pre-amp to roll or not to tube roll... Hello. I had an Sig Mk IIa SE line stage a few years back and now have a Master with phono. I rolled the 6922’s which I would recommend that you do first if you haven’t done so already. I found Mullard’s to give a warmer presentation. Amperex ... | |
| About Koetsu Rosewood Serge, I cannot see your photo. Glad that you have others that you prefer. I suppose the cost to benefit ratio wasn’t enough which is understandable. I’m a recent Koetsu owner and purchased the RSP. I also picked up a SME 30/2 and love the com... | |
| YG Carmel 2 v 3 Hello, I own a pair of Carmel 2’s but have not heard the 3’s. My dealer has delivered a pair of series 3 Hailey’s to an owner who had the Hailey 2.2’s. Here are some of his impressions, ”The series 3 Hailey’s, definitely are an improvement on th... | |
| Dog pissed on speaker Now it’s your turn to mark your territory on the other speaker. | |
| What Holiday Gifts did you ask for or Give to Yourself? Gosh, where do I start? This December I got a Brinkmann Nyquist Mk II DAC, Graham Engineering Phantom III tonearm, 3-meter WW Platinum Eclipse 8 XLR’s and waiting for my Cardas Clear Beyond x2 tonearm cable. My VAC Master line stage is in Sarasota... | |
| Ethernet Switch Recommendations Please I’ve been using the Ediscreation Silent Switch OCXO Extreme for several years and like it very much. Edison is very helpful too. I haven’t tried other ones tbh. | |
| Second-hand record stores in Tokyo I bought quite a few records from HMV Records and Books in Shibuya and Shinjuku. In Shibuya, the record shop is in a different location than the book shop. Many thanks to ANA for not weighing carry on luggage. ;) Also, if you’re into chef’s knive... | |
| Pls help me decide Pass Labs X250.8 or Luxman M900u VACs need to be powered on for Cinema bypass. ModWright preamps can be left off for HT bypass if that matters. VAC preamps with the Pass Labs X250.8 is a wonderful combo btw. I used that with my Maggie’s and YG’s. However you can turn the Luxm... | |
| Question about Shunyata Power Conditioners I’m also a fan of Shunyata conditioners and power cords. I upgraded from the old Running Springs products (multiple Haley’s and Jaco). The Denali 6000 v2 came first with the Sigma XC cord, and everything improved in terms of detail, separation, de... | |
| How do I know if my systems any good? It’s good if you sit, listen, become catatonic and think “This is the way,” repeatedly. | |
| VTL TL7.5 series lll VS VAC Master Line Stage VS AR Ref 6 VS Nagra Classic Preamp @christianb5s4 I have not heard Parasound amps, but they have a very good reputation. Honestly I can’t grade how much warmer the Pass Labs is, as I don’t have a reference as to what a 5 or 10 is. Also in keeping with the OP’s theme, I’d like to... | |
| VTL TL7.5 series lll VS VAC Master Line Stage VS AR Ref 6 VS Nagra Classic Preamp @christianb5s4 Today is my second day with this amp. I have to work later today but got up early to listen to the amp in my system. The Coda is an unbelievable amp. I have it plugged into my Shunyata Everest conditioner, and I’ve had zero noise... | |
| VTL TL7.5 series lll VS VAC Master Line Stage VS AR Ref 6 VS Nagra Classic Preamp @christianb5s4 My Coda 16 was delivered 5 hours ago, and I’ve been listening to it for the past 3 hours or so. Simply said, get the Coda. What everyone says about it here on the Audiogon forums or What’s Best is true. It is one stunning amp in e... |
