| Steve Morse pays tribute to Jeff beck What a treat! Thank you for sharing it. | |
| Audio Research Reference Phono 3 versus Nagra Classic Phono I agree 100% with what Lewm stated. Additionally, I believe in same brand for system synergy and proper voicing match, particularly for preamp/phono stage/power amp. Of course, these are my opinions. But I think that you won't find any argument... | |
| Six DAC Comparison And Mitch, a big CONGRATULATIONS on your recent retirement. Enjoy it in great health. | |
| Six DAC Comparison I agree 100% about "wonder how I ever found time for a job". I am in retirement year 6 and it has been a great ride. Developing my new audio system, fishing for big tuna and yellowtail, and skiing only on weekdays (no more weekends or holidays)... | |
| Spades vs. Banana plugs ?? It's not fair to generalize. Not all banana plugs are made the same way. Audioquest banana plugs, particularly in the 500 and 1000 series, are made from high grade copper with a heavy silver plating. They are made in the identical fashion as th... | |
| Modern Covers of Classics "Groovin' Is Easy" by The Third Mind on their second album, The Third Mind/2. Totally acid-rock music genre, done in a current day recording sound quality. The album was released in 2023. I first heard that song by The Electric Flag, in 1968. ... | |
| That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For @ronkent An amp stand between the speakers, with a run of XLR cables, and you can put any amp there that you want, regardless of size. Just sayin'.... | |
| That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For @ronkent If you really want to beat your Coda 16 then settle only for the best solid state amp from BAT, the REX-500. I am not so sure that the REX-300 will do you any better than what you already have (the CODA 16 is fabulous). I am considerin... | |
| That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For By the way, I initially had a VK-33 and found it to be very good. I then had it upgraded to the VK-33SE and there was a marked improvement in all the areas we have mentioned already. The VK-80 is a direct replacement for the VK-33SE and by utili... | |
| That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For @agbrace Right on! Enjoy to its fullest, and in good health. | |
| That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For agbrace, thank you for the reply. Yes, the trade-in program. It is handled by retailers and BAT fulfills the order. And you are correct, the owner of Music Direct is also the owner of Mobile Fidelity, Mo-Fi Distribution, and BAT. Best to you o... | |
| That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For Power cord does make a difference. I am using the same Audioquest on my VK-90 preamp as ronkent. Like ronkent, my BAT preamp provides a very wide soundstage, incredible separation of instruments, incredible air surrounding vocals, depth of stage... | |
| That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For And next up is building a dedicated sound room, shortly into the new year. Literally, adding on to the house and making a room addition that is dedicated to 2-channel high fidelity. I think that, along with a properly designed set of room treatm... | |
| That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For I've been a BAT man for about 5 years now. I upgraded to a BAT VK-90 last year and was amazed at the improvement of space between instruments and the air around vocals. BAT is an outstanding brand of product, as is the company and people there. ... | |
| Those rare albums that are great on first listen. So, so many mentioned that I already own. That makes me feel very good. Quite a few that I probably need to get. Stanley Clark School Days Jeff Beck Truth Paul Simon There Goes Rhymin’ Simon Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall By th... |
