| Speakers for BAT VK 75SE The most important thing (imo) for matching speakers with the VK 75SE is to find a speaker with a relatively stable impedance. Since the amp uses no negative feedback, it does have a pretty high output impedance. The more flat the impedance, the m... | |
| What do you like about your "favorite" retailer? Hmm... I'd say that my dealer is actually my friend, given that we spend more time just talking instead of listening to equipment. He's even left me alone in his home (he works out of it) while he did some errands to listen to music for a few hour... | |
| Does NAD C270 sound as nice as T752 ? The sound should be virtually identical. I see no problem with what you want to do. The C270 will simply give you more dynamic overhead compared to the amp section of the T752. | |
| Where does your user name come from? A friend of mine threw a carton of milk at me during lunchtime back in high school, which so happened to blow up in my crotch. I threw one back and put a welt on his back, then made him run home with me so I could change my pants. We came up with ... | |
| wilson vs competitor battle demo Just drug up a thread on it over at avsforum, apparently they were Signature 800s. | |
| wilson vs competitor battle demo B&W-- don't know which model.A friend of mine went to the demo. I, unfortunately, was out eating lunch at the time. | |
| NAD C320BEE Rotel RA-01 Cambridge 640A The C320BEE is perhaps the best value I've ever heard. I currently have one in my system and have no plans to replace it anytime soon. It does have both preouts and amp inputs, so you could conceivably get more life out of it than the Cambridge. | |
| Best of Home Entertainment 2004 NY ? Since you don't want to know, I'll tell you. MBL's full top of the line system goes for $160,000. The speakers go for $40,000. | |
| analog newbie question/vinyl weight One is heavier. :DNow, without being a dork--One really is heavier. The LP is also thicker, making it less prone to warping. That's a good thing. | |
| How many years before MP3 becomes king? Massive storage is possible, but we will also have to see the advent of massive throughput capacity with our internet connections before it will truly die. Thankfully, this becomes less of an issue daily, but it isn't gone altogether. | |
| Best Used SS Amp For VTL Preamp? Just remember that VTL recommends having an input impedance of at least 47k Ohms on your amplifier to avoid any bass rolloff. I believe that Parasound makes some reasonably priced amps that would fit the bill. | |
| Is there a Signature verion of the Vandersteen 1C? I've never heard of anything like that. If it was true, though, I would be interested. | |
| BAT VK-D5SE The VK-D5 has six 6922 tubes, while the VK-D5SE has 4 supertubes. | |
| Less Revealing Replacement for Thiel CS 1.2? Well, you can look at used Vandersteen 2CE Sigs or something from Meadlowlark. Both share the same time and phase correct design that Thiel uses but tend to be a little softer and warmer, ie forgiving. | |
| Time to reflect - why do you post on Audiogon..... I'm unemployed and bored. That's why I post.That and it's fun to be involved in this hobby. There aren't that many people around here to chat with, so the internet has become my favorite abode. |
