| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? Wc65mustang, I think your analogy is wrong--it would be like handing in old dirty money and get crisp clean dollars back, with that 'new money' smell. | |
| Monoblocked Bernings ZH-270s? Yes, I have a pair of 270's running as monoblocks. Markxiii is right, be sure to buy two from the same time period, early versions of the 270 had a different input impedance than later versions, and the 'transformers' in the earlier versions were ... | |
| Cerious cables - Proper setup and run in time One question I would have for Srajan regarding his review is why he thinks that the cables are at fault rather than the RCA terminations. I fully agree with him that the connectors are not so great, they always seem to be too loose on my BAM. In h... | |
| Everyone whose Merlins... Yes and no on the Stereovox. Right now I have a mix of Cerious Tech IC's, Stereovox IC's, and Stereovox speaker cables. Really like the Cerious, although I think the Stereovox have cleaner, more pristine highs, kind of a trade off. | |
| Everyone whose Merlins... Well, the bottom line is that the MX is a dramatic improvement over the Millenium, and the addition of the superBAM takes it to another level yet. I am quite simply astonished at the amount of bass coming out of these speakers, I would not have th... | |
| Liquid Ceramics cables Has anyone heard these? Stan, come on now :) I don't have 80k speakers, but by all accounts my Merlins are among the most 'revealing' of all speakers. Same with my amps, Bernings are noted for clarity and transparency, not coloring the sound in any way, or at least color... | |
| I had a spider crawl in my preamp A Problem? No, in fact it will probably improve your soundstaging, imaging, and tonality. If it was a cryo'd spider, even better yet! | |
| Recent reviews on Cyberlight IC's I would strongly second the suggestion that you be sure of the output voltage. I went through three different versions of the cyberlight before I got the right one, because I wasn't aware that the voltage was such an important factor. Also get the... | |
| Berning ZH270 - Wiring Upgrade Since I have the monoblocked Bernings I have to jump across the positive speaker terminals on each amp to combine both channels into one. The negative terminals are connected internally. Can't be done with a single 270 running in stereo. I wish th... | |
| Berning ZH270 - Wiring Upgrade Art, it will be worth it. It took at least two weeks for mine between shipping and all, and that was early on before a lot of people wanted the upgrade. By the way, I got some very small pieces of the upgrade wire from Allan and used it to jump th... | |
| Siltech G5 range compare with Stereovox Reference Dgob, just curious, did you buy the 'old' Stereovox--the SEI I's--or the new Stereovox--SEI II's? You can tell by looking at the Xhadow terminations, the new Stereovox SEI's have round termination,the older ones have square ones. I ask because I'v... | |
| Regrets, I've had a few... I still listen to BeBop Deluxe, Live in the Air Age is in my 'heavy rotation' pile, supposedly all the BeBop Deluxe albums are soon to be or have recently been reissued. I only have 'Axe Victim' 'Live in the Air Age' and another "live in the studi... | |
| How much power for Merlin VSM speakers? At one point, I ran my VSM Milleniums with a WAVAC 572 SET, certainly not your classic flea-power SET, it put out about 50 watts. I seem to recall seeing threads here or on Audio Asylum where people used lower powered amps on VSM's, but I can't re... | |
| Joule Electra VZN100 with Merlin VSM-MX. Art and Swampwalker, you really must get the wire upgrade, it is more significant than either the tubes or the ERS, maybe even more significant than both combined. As for Stereovox, by next week at this time I hope to have all Stereovox cabling, t... | |
| Atma-Sphere M60 or David Berning ZH270? Laoyuap, here are the mods to the Bernings that I have: 1. All tubes replaced with NOS, some cryo'd, some not, not really a mod I guess, I think that new Bernings come with the Cryo'd 6jn6 tubes stock now, not sure2. The ERS mods 3. Some of the ca... |
