| Emission Labs EML 30B-XLS tubes in VAC Ren. 70/70? Thank you for your responses I already contacted Kevin at VAC but did not receive answer yet.I decided to take another approach and ordered Shuguang Treasure 'Black Bottle' 300B-Z tubes from Grantfidelity (www.grantfidelity.com) in Canada.This q... | |
| Optional S/PDIF digital input for APL Denon 3910 Thank you Gentlemen,I will follow your advice and wait for Alex's return. | |
| Review: Denon 3910 APL solid state mod CD Player I also purchased my APL Denon 3910 3 months ago and as I previously stated this is one of the best CD players on the market (in the same league as Zanden IMHO :-). My APL Denon is tubed (my amplification is tubed as well) and allowed me to remove ... | |
| Looking for best CD or Dac under $15k new. I would definitely suggest APL modified Denon 3910. It compares favorably to Exemplar (many consider it better than Exemplar) that has been considered almost equal to Reimyo ( http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/exemplar/denon.html ). I purchased t... | |
| How does sound change when tubes start to fail? My experience is with 300B tubes in my VAC Renaissance 70/70. When tubes started to give up I have heard the following: decrease in dynamics, lowered high and low frequency output, muddy sound. After re-tubing I was amazed by whats been missi... | |
| DV-50s vs Krell SACD Standard vs Denon 3910 mod I would strongly suggest Denon 3910 mod by APL ( www.APLhifi.com ). I have had an opportunity to listen to the player last Wednesday and IMHO it sounds better than Zanden transport and Zanden DAC combo (I seldom get carried away with recommendatio... | |
| My Journey to Digital Nirvana Part 1 Tvad - the switch to volume control is external. The remote is an additional remote provided by Alex and manufactured by Sony.BTW. - today I visited Alex to drop-off my unit for modification and coincidentally 711smilin's unit was there almost rea... | |
| My Journey to Digital Nirvana Part 1 I would like to answer to Improbabilitydrive (or should it be Improbabilitydrivel ;-) 711smilin is one of the most interesting contributors to this forum; he listens, has opinions and is not afraid to push the envelope and try the new stuff. A... | |
| Surround speakers for Martin Logan CLS I am sorry Gregadd that I did not make myself clear (English is my second language :-) - ML CLS are the main speakers in my system, they are driven with VAC Renaissance 70/70 amp...I am trying to tie them to appropriate surrounds and one of the op... | |
| Martin-Logan as alternative to Magnepan 1.6's I completely agree with Rooze. With ML integration of woofers is problematic and their sound (at lower frequencies where woofer kicks-in) is room dependent. Few years ago I helped a friend of mine with purchase and a set-up of Magnepans 1.6 and th... | |
| Fluctuating volume in one channel I did have the same problem few years ago with my VAC pre-amp. The tubes were getting old. I exchanged the tubes (for much better sounding than the original Golden Dragon) and the problem was gone...Good luck. | |
| Glenn Gould piano recording of Beethoven I agree with Andy2 - supposedly GG used to re-play the fragments of the composition he did not like and was inserting new recording (on tape) to the parts he thought were perfect. Sometimes it happend few days after the first "take" so the microph... | |
| Audiomeca Enkianthus DAC problem AvguyGeorge,I tried switching input selector and unfortunately it does not make any difference. Any other suggestions? | |
| Best Amps for Martin Logans???? VAC with ML sounds fantastic (I use VAC Renaissance 70/70 with ML CLS). I hope this helps...Lucian | |
| Allan Pettersson Thank you Shubertmaniac for a great thread! I have had an opportunity to acquaint myself with Pettersson’s music while living in Sweden – otherwise he would remain unknown to me… |
