Skips with CDR's
If the skipping only occurs on CD-Rs, then I would suggest re-burning the cds with a slower speed, something like 1x or 2x. The slower you burn your blank cds, the better the laser burns into the blank cds. This will help cd players pick up the bu... 
acoustic zen bi,s or shotgun?
The acoustic zen satori shotguns are very good. I used to own a pair and they provided me with lots of enjoyment. Their treble is clear and detailed but without glare and hash or brightness. The cables sounded pretty neutral on my setup, full deep... 
B&K 200.2 S2
I have owned the B&K Ref 200.2 and 200.5 in the past. These are really great power amps, better than the NAD, Parasound, and Rotel counterparts with equal power rating. The B&K just has more musicality and still maintains accuracy and inte... 
Denon DVD-5900 vs DVD-3910
I believe the Denon DVD-5900 has a better transport, beefier power supply, and more solid/heavy build quality which improves damping and noise problems. All these improvements will yield better audio results over the less expensive DVD-3910. The D... 
Better B&K amp?
B&K is a great value player...their amps are their bread and butter for their product line. I have owned in the past the B&K Reference 200.2 and Reference 200.5, and they never failed me once. Solid build quality, no nonsense design, built... 
New Von Schweikert VR SR4 mk11 Cream or Crap ???
Ozzy,After my SRs were fully burned in (after 500 hrs), I started to adjust the rear level tweeters and critique. The rear tweeter settings, depend on your room, equipment/cabling and personal tastes. With all these pre-requisites factored in, I d... 
Von Schweikerts VR4 JR's and SR's?
I have auditioned the Dali Euphonia MS5 before I bought my VR-4 SRs, the MS5 was good, but it still reminded me of listening to a good recording, but hearing the VR-4 SRs, I was listening to a live event, where I actually felt I was there at the p... 
New Von Schweikert VR SR4 mk11 Cream or Crap ???
Ozzy,Definitely need to play the VS at least 400-500 hours of solid music playing level and leave the rear tweeters on too. After that full burn in, you can fine tune the rear tweeters to your liking. I love my VR-4 SRs MKI, they are really that g... 
Von Schweikerts VR4 JR's and SR's?
Chgolatin2,If your gonna run the JRs or SRs with tube amp, the bass module might require more power. They will sound ok, but you might not get the control and slam as a nice powerful SS amp for the bass module. But as always, try it out and see fo... 
Von Schweikerts VR4 JR's and SR's?
Chgolatin2,I have heard both the JR(mkI) and SR(mkI). They both are great speakers and one of the best in it's respective price class. In absolute and relative terms, to me, the SRs are better and they should be for the price difference. What's mo... 
Bryston 6BSST or B &K 200.5 or Aragon 8008
The B&K Ref 200.5 is definitely a good value. It serves to be a good amp for music and movies. It does not sound lean or cold, it has a bit of warmth and body and sounds really good if paired with a nice power cord and ICs. It has good amount ... 
Attenuator recommendations
Tboooe,How much did you decrease the input gain or as BAT calls it "Relative Volume" adjustment? Try setting it lower. If that is properly set, you should be able to use the main volume knob in a wider range. A CDP with 1.7V output is not high at ... 
Attenuator recommendations
Tboooe,Did you try decreasing the input gain on the BAT preamp (the one that is causing the music to be too loud even at the lowest volume setting)? Most if not all preamps have an input gain setting that can be adjusted up or down. So if it was s... 
New Von Schweikert VR SR4 mk11 Cream or Crap ???
I own the Von Schweikert VR-4 SR MKI (so take my reply with a grain of salt), and I totally agree with the two positive remarks above. This speaker does everything right and will bring out the best of your equipment, the better up and down stream ... 
Von Schweikert VR-5SE
Mfontana,I bet your bass is so much better than using the VAC alone. Cool, nice to hear. Enjoy !
