| VTL MB 450 sig v cj prem 8a's v Mac MC 501's Shane, You are on the right track. The VTL 450s do have the bass slam that the Premier 8s do not and they do not have the slight Mid glare that the Mac 501s do. I work at a dealer that carries the VTL and Mcintosh new and we currently have a pair ... | |
| stereophile class b cdps of the past....late 90s It's hard to go wrong with a used Rega Planet for around $400.00 or Planet 2000 if you can find one under $500.00. | |
| Need opinion on cary V12 vs VTL upgrade The VTL 300 tranny upgrade is a very effective upgrade. I would also suggest doing the coupling caps (infinicaps)at the same time. The Cary is a great sounding amp but it just can't match the drive and grip that the VTLs have. Even the first guy t... | |
| Europa/PSB Silveri/Meadowlark kestrel 2 Working at a Dealer that sells both the PSBs and the Meadowlarks, I would recommend either as a great speaker. I do not have any experience with the Europas. The PSBs are a bit more forward and have better bass extension. They have great tonal bal... | |

| Manufacturer customer service Dear Intrepid Listener, First let me say that as long as the manufacturer "knew" of your choices for directionality and which conductors you wanted put in each leg of the circuit, he was obligated to put 'em where and how you wanted 'em. Please l... | |
| Help with tubes for my VTL amp. Please note that you will void your warranty from VTL if you use any tubes ther than what they spec. AND one of those tubes CAUSES a failure in the amp. Not saying don't "tube roll', just be aware that if you do and a tube CAUSES a failure, that f... | |
| Good innterconnects and speaker cables with REGA Try DH Labs Silver Sonic BL-1 interconnets and T-14 speaker cable. lively sound w/o getting "zingy". Your coie of speakers will of course dictate much as well. B&W can be ruthless on top so a softer cable might be in order. | |
| VTL Service ?? As an owner of 3 pairs of VTL amplifiers, I can say that they have been VERY helpful with both the 2 pairs of amps I bought new AND the pair I bought used. I did speak with Luke about the "transferrable" warranty info. He advised they have been se... |
