VAC & FOCAL : 2-Channel w/Vinyl 2 com?Knghifi, my room is 20 feet by 30 feet and angled ceiling 12-18 feet. I'll take pictures and put it up under Jwm soon. I have no idea on the ship date. Andy said sometime in spring so I figure June... posted about 11 years ago | View comment | |
VAC & FOCAL : 2-Channel w/Vinyl 2 com?Knghifi, thanks I also like the TAD's as well and both your speaker and mine use a beryllium tweeter, although yours is part of your midrange driver. I would like to hear the Absolare preamp but no... posted about 11 years ago | View comment | |
VAC & FOCAL : 2-Channel w/Vinyl 2 com?Thanks Dev. I see those speakers as fads and time will tell. They came on the market fast and furious and we shall see if they last. In the old days it took at least five years for a good speaker t... posted about 11 years ago | View comment | |
VAC & FOCAL : 2-Channel w/Vinyl 2 com?Dev, yes 12AU7 no point in tube rolling. My favorite tubes for the preamp are the Amperex 8416 Orange Lettering and gold pins. These are a 12 volt tube not the common 6 volt 6922 tube. I find the p... posted about 11 years ago | View comment | |

All-TubesI never heard of clarity cables, everyone is making cables in their basement. I am using siltech and like them very much. I would be squeamish buying cables that don't even tell you what their cond... posted almost 13 years ago | View comment | |
VAC & FOCAL : 2-Channel w/Vinyl 2 com?I think you should try new old stock tubes in the amp and preamp, I did and the sound is amazing. I don't think any new tube today can compete. posted almost 13 years ago | View comment | |
