| Preamp Deal of the Century Any feedback from the recent purchasers of the Revelation umbilical ?Just wondering if it's a worthwhile upgrade. Thanks.So far my Chenin tweaks have been Sovtek KT-66's, Ken Rad 6SN7GT's and a Mullard 6106 rectifier along with Herbies nickel tube... | |
| Tube amps to control VR-4jr bass? No input on the amp, just thought I'd prepare you for the sticker shock of lead shot. I just purchased a 25# bag at Bass pro shop for $36. !!Seems with two wars raging, the price of lead has 'shot up'.Suggest putting a trash compacter bag in the s... | |
| The Best Live album After a long time on the shelf, I just pulled out Elton John live in australia with the Melbourne symphony orchestra. It's DDD, an excellent recording and a greatest hits song list. The only Elton I'll ever need. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Not much of a benchmark, but I had the Adcom GFP750 previously.I've got the EH 6SN7's and the Sovtek KT66's. The Sovtek KT66 made a large improvment in the soundstaging dept.Planning on changing the EH6SN7's for some KenRad VT231's based on Electi... | |

| Any UFC fans out there? I'm hooked, usually watch a few hours every thursday eve on Spike.Yes, it's violent, but watching Chuck Liddell tool around in his Ferrari, that seems like a fair trade. Some of these guys would be fighting in bars anyway, it's just the way it is,... | |
| Baltimore MD Merry/Happy to all the B'Morian's.Be happy to offer the Acoustic Zen Satori Shotguns for evaluation, just a reminder, they're 6 footers.But what you really want to hear is my Supratek Preamp, once those monstorous cables are replaced. Sweet tube j... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Thanks for the suggestion on the Sovtek KT66. This being my first tube preamp, I swore I wasn't going to get entangled in Tube rolling. I've had the Chenin for a week and I just ordered a pair of the Sovteks. This preamp is making me unreasonable,... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Frankiealverti - Those two switches are left/right gain switches, the choices are low gain or high gain. You can adjust the pre to match your power amp with these, additionally there's a gain dial on the back for further fine tuning of the gain. W... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Thanks for the feedback lads, hard to believe that the phono will be even better than the line output, Jimi Hendrix was in my living room last night, playing the 'experience Hendrix' CD remaster of Electric Ladyland. Found myself in the kitchen be... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Just replaced my Adcom GFP-750 with a used Supratek Chenin, going from a Âgiant killer to the Âpreamp of the centuryÂ, which is how these two units are written about. The rest of the system is a Musical Fidelity A5 player, Conrad Johnson MF22... | |
| How to thwart cats Put some balloons near your components. When the cats are hanging around the 'off limits' area, pop the balloon(s). They'll make the connection and avoid the area. You might have to repeat the lesson. My cat avoided the area like the plague, but s... | |
| Experience Loading Speakers w/ sand or shot Just purchased some used Von Schweikert VR-4jr's that had the added lead shot. Was a struggle to move them with the added weight, close to 200 lbs of speaker and box. You need to consider how you'll remove the lead, if you ever sell or move em. Th... | |
| VSA VR4 SR or JR as a match to my system and room I'm considering the VR-4Jr's and some of these posts along with the recent uptick in VR-4Jr's for sale here made me wonder if trouble was a-foot.I emailed VSA asking about a local dealer and three days later got a response from one offering to set... | |
