A few weeks ago, I had a friend who knew a friend who knew someone who had a new pair of Borresen X1 monitors. After much a-doo, I was given access to that individual’s home to audition them, quite impressive to be honest - treble, bass was surprisingly great. I mean for $5500 & $1100 for...- vintage_tube

ARC announces price increase effective Mid-March '24
Correct -- I was astonished to learn from KH at VAC, the Vishay Z-Foil metal resistors he likes, pre covid were around $25-30 depending on value(s). Post covid, he mentioned, depending on value(s), some have shot up to around $90 each. I have an SE product he expressly uses those resistors in...- vintage_tube

Good Amp Stands for VAC
Realizing this thread is 2 years old, I'll chime in anyways -- HRS's Latvis makes great isolation platforms; however most don't know he offers a product called G7 Footers & G-Links that allows his amp stands like the HRS M3X2 to load amplifiers weighing outside of the color-coded load range...- vintage_tube

Ron Reporting from Southwest Audio Fest 2024
Great report Ron -- as usual BTW. You're so concise in the short time you have to highlight areas that you visited and auditioned. Please keep it up Sir. As a tube guy practically my whole life, and a current VAC "vacette" (HAHA), I find it interesting that Valerio Cora, owner of Acora...- vintage_tube

Tube Testers
Heard back from VAC and the bottom line is with the ATT 3.02 which has a maximum of 200v current it does not offer a true representation of a KT88/6550 tube under test and is approx. 350-350v less than what they operate a KT88 power tube at (560v). VAC goes on to say it is ideal for 6SN7's...- vintage_tube

Tube Testers
From my short but inquisitive conversations with VAC -- they like it & more than the maximatcher power tube testers they have (it doesn't have a regulated power supply; whereas the ATT 3.02 does.). So, that's somewhat reassuring to a degree. If it turns out otherwise -- well, then there are...- vintage_tube
