| Acoustic Zen vs. Nordost Find a dealer that will allow you to evaluate both of them in your system. It is the ONLY way to know. Pay no attention to price and/or published reviews; let your ears be the judge.Good listening!! | |
| Copper vs Hybrid differences There are "organic" sounding silver cables and "detailed/analytical" sounding copper cables. The design and construction are equally if not more important than the makeup of the conductor. | |
| Anyone listen to Alva.Noto + Ryuichi Sakamoto? If you like Vrioon, check out "Casa" by Sakamoto, Paula Morelenbaum (vocals) and Jaques Morelenbaum (cello). Killer stuff.Bill | |
| New Van Morrison disc Better than "Moondance"? Find that hard to believe. "Astral Weeks" was damn good, too...Thanks. You saved me the time. :-) | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? Oracle CD-2000 TransportReimyo DAP-777 D/AStealth Sextet Digital InterconnectStealth Indra Analog InterconnectAmazing combination | |
| ARC VTM120 Any thoughts? I've only heard the V4 and Mid Monos but not with the same speakers. Furthermore I've not heard either one with your speakers. Therefore I'm a bit reluctant to "rank" them. Both are well built by a dedicated owner (Mike Sanders) and you could do a... | |
| ARC VTM120 Any thoughts? Correct. I hit the "submit as is" button before I removed the statement regarding strong manufacturer/ retail reliable network. My bad. :-)The VR4JR is a very nice speaker but you will not need 100 tube watts to drive them unless you have an absol... | |
| ARC VTM120 Any thoughts? Thanks for your comments. IMO, your speaker is a critical determinant of your amplifier choice. If the load is "normal" and driveable by both ss and tubes, a used Pass X150 is a nice solid state amp. Used units are going for around 2K. As far as t... | |
| ARC VTM120 Any thoughts? >>His ignorance speaks for itself.<<LOL | |
| ARC VTM120 Any thoughts? >> Clearly Audiofeil has little or no experience with these models as they do not at all have a "dried out presentation" that I personally would associate with the Classic series.<<LOL | |
| ARC VTM120 Any thoughts? I suppose my comments were a bit over the top. Reputations? That's like trusting the media for the news. Don't believe all you read and hear. ARC makes competent equipment and it is well supported at the retail and manufacturer's level. That is un... | |
| ARC VTM120 Any thoughts? Blue book is about $1500 which is $1500 too much. Find a used Sonic Frontiers, Cary, Rogue, Quicksilver, etc. and hear music not a dried out presentation from ARC. | |
| Best tube pre-amp below US $ 10.000,00 ? Not there's anything wrong with that.:-) | |
| Quad ESL 989 and Maggie 3.6s >>You've got some nice stuff,<<Antique Sound Labs, Denon, Audioquest, Audio Refinement, B&K.You're kidding right? | |
| Do I have Intermittent cartridge skipping? Check the anti skating. |
