VSA VR-3 Upgrades. Has anyone done them? Results?
Glad I could help. What are you going to get done? 
VSA VR-3 Upgrades. Has anyone done them? Results?
I've done bypass caps last year and 2 weeks ago replaced all the internal wiring with the singe-crystal copper on my 7's. I also changed out the midrange drivers, per Albert. The difference is amazing - like new speakers. I didn't really need damp... 
Burning question about two VAC amps and dead tubes
You can continue on with this brain damage or you can just call VAC, explain what happened and ask for a bit of advice. I know that sounds too easy for some of you, but it really is the simplest solution. 
World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above?
I hear Mr. Koch is also able to "leap tall buildings in a single bound" and is "faster than a speeding bullet". Gimme a break - What a huge waste of time - again. Mark your calendars... 
How many still listen to CD's daily.
2-3 hrs daily, mixed in w/SACDs 
Mogami wire vs Signal Cable inter and Linn K400
Never mind. 
Running a sub in 2 channel with dhc80.2
There are several popular and active 80.2 forums on the Internet - I would google them and post your question. Another option would be to call the manufacturer of your sub and also integra Tech support.I have an 80.2 as well as a dedicated 2-chann... 
Mogami wire vs Signal Cable inter and Linn K400
Looking for 3 meter balanced analog ICs due to system reconfig for center and 2 rear channels. Which Mogami would work? Will microphone cable work? Rest of cabling is SR, but not an option here. 
The Problem with Synergistic Research
John - I totally see their point. Your comment: "This is a high-end business with cables that cost up to 10 of thousands, I thought they’d do more critical testing and verifying before shipping them out rather than just ohm out for continuity chec... 
Thoughts from THE Show, is $29k the new $10k?
I was at an ENT dr. last week due to a case of tinnitus I picked up about a month ago from a sinus infection that followed a 10-day Florida trip. Severe ringing in 1 ear for about 3 weeks until the antibiotics and steroids finally started to work.... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Currently auditioning Tranquility Base. Didn't think it made much difference, if any, initially. It turned out a few of the active connections in the system had come off inadvertently. When I restored the connections, there was a pretty considerab... 
McCormack DNA500 for Revel Salon 2? vs Lev/Mac?
I'd also vote for the DNA-500. 
Any new 70'-80
Do NOT confuse the "new 80" Sharp with 3d" with the 80" Sharp ELITE TV. They are 2 TOTALLY DIFFERENT sets both in quality and price. I don't think the 80" Sharp Elite has even been officially announced yet, so it may not even happen here in the St... 
Any new 70'-80
The Sharp Elite 70" can be had for less than $7500. It has the best non-projection display I have seen, so I bought one and have been very happy with it. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for. There is also talk they may be announcing an 80" ver... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Its all relative and personal taste as to system/listening goals, which tend to change over time as technology advances and musical tastes evolve. Apex is an excellent cable and still present elsewhere in my system. CTS works better for me between...
