All TubesI was considering selling the entire system on Audiogon. I'd like to get some feedback on how much I might be able to ask. Comments definitely appreciated! posted about 17 years ago | View comment | |
All TubesSystem updated. Got a mapleshade rack and threaded heavyfeet brass footers for the PL1. Source is resting on ultimate triplepoint v.3's. Will post pics soon. posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
I believe I have arrived...Congrats. I've heard the Hawks a few times at a shop in Philadelphia. Fantastic sound. I really couldn't believe the bass response from that little driver. I was told they take a while to break in ... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
Turbo's 2 channel ver 1.0Great set up and room. I was wondering if you would describe the Flavor 4 as a smooth power cord? I've read that they image poorly and can highlight poor recordings. Have you found this to be true?... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
My Modest Speaker / Headphone SetupNice setup. Have you experimented with after-market ac power cords for the PrimaLuna? I also have the PL1 and am trying to get some ideas for future tweaks. Thanks for any feedback. posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
First HiFi System (suggestions welcome)Hey Willbc,great system, I like that it's a fairly simple setup. Can you describe the sonic changes that the VH audio and Signal power cables made to your overall sound? I am in the market myse... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
Mike Lavigne's SystemFirst off, your system is insane. I can't imagine what it must sound like in that room. Second, my wife would like to know if you have a significant other. She can't imagine that any partner would ... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
Currently...Great system. I also love how you used the inside of the table to hide the conditioners. You should consider displaying the receiver, it's great looking. Do you usually stack the line stage on the ... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |

Poring into the world of hi-fiNice set-up. I was thinking the same as Firecracker_77. The components will sound better if you don't stack them.millikeith posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
All TubesHighend64,I'm glad you commented on the simplicity--it was one of my goals when I was putting the system together. The Kestrels sound great. Actually, if you look at Veroman's thread history yo... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
All TubesHey Veroman,I hear what you're saying about the Kestrels. I have close to 300 hours and I'm beginning to get an idea of what they will sound like. The highs are starting to smooth out and the b... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
All TubesSiegfried,Ha. The two coexist and it's a beautiful thing. I thought about the windows too. Getting rid of the tray tables and some curtains are definitely the next moves. Thanks for the advice. posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |

All TubesQuestion: Are cdp's like the minimax that utilize tubes considered digital components? I'm curious because some companies (e.g. signalcable) manufacture power cords for digital and non-digital comp... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
All TubesSiegfried,Thanks for the compliment and reassurance. I'm very lucky to have this system. The truth is, it sounds far better than anything I've ever owned (i.e. mass market components). It actua... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
All TubesGmele,Thanks for the encouragement with the Kestrel break-in. If the speakers stayed like they are now--bass-shy and harsh and grainy highs--I would conclude that I've wasted my money. I'm most... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
All TubesHey Quackfat,Thanks for the tips, especially on the power cords. I haven't had any experience with those manufacturers but will definitely look into them when I go to upgrade. As for the speake... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
All TubesMikemarv,Thanks for the advice. It is an elevated floor above a basement. The room itself has very odd dimensions and eventually I'll post pics of it. My only concern with vibropods under the s... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |

All TubesSo much for shelving the obsession. I've been reading on power cords, which is likely to be my next upgrade. Only concern is really cost/performance ratio. Price needs to be reasonable given what I... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
