    BAT-VK 43SE?

    And your opinion is based upon what exactly?

    BAT-VK 43SE?

    But you have no direct experience with the VK-43SE, correct?

    BAT-VK 43SE?

    Does anyone have any experience with this preamp? I had the BAT-VK 42SE and was potentially interested in its successor, but they no longer are being offered. Many thanks.

    How Inconsiderate of Them How inconsiderate of them. It is too bad you can't just stick the TFTs on the patients and cure them.

    Synergistic Research HFT

    Rich Davis, I would like to point out that I did not write that any equipment with bad measurements sounded good. All I said is that various equipment all with excellent measurements sounded different. Not the same thing. That is why measurements do not mean much to me. Obviously, your mileage...

    Synergistic Research HFT

    Measurements are not necessarily a validation of positive improvement and while I do not trust anyone else's single pair of ears, I might be persuaded by many temperate responses that the tweak works or does not work as advertised. Ultimately, the final determinant is whether I personally hear a...

    Synergistic Research HFT

    At the end of this thread, we still have no majority consensus of how this tweak sounds (if at all) and no desire by anyone to measure its performance, assuming that there is even a way to: (i) measure its performance; (ii) equate that measurement to whether the thing makes a noticeable...

    Shunyata Z-tron Alpha Series

    Amen to that. However, I am grateful to my core for what I do have, that my hearing is good enough to appreciate the differences, and that I can reach for something better on occasion. I take Caelin at his word that the Alpha Digital is a sui generis cable at its price point, worth the...

    Shunyata Z-tron Alpha Series

    If it were always just "good enough" then no one would ever upgrade, and who said anyone in this hobby is rational! I derive full satisfaction from what I have assembled but have trouble turning off the little gremlin in my head which says "you could make this better."

    Shunyata Z-tron Alpha Series

    Argghh! Do not tell me this. I have myself convinced that my all Black Mamba HC CX system is "good enough."

    Shunyata Z-tron Alpha Series

    Guido, No apologies needed at all. I think that we all agree that the cables would sound excellent. How the target market would be able to make a rationale selection decision with so many choices might result in purchasing paralysis if you accept Gladwell's hypothesis. That said, I am saving up...

    You missed my point entirely.

    Suggestions for a Coffee machine

    Update--The Frigidaire died a premature death. They seem to have that problem. Recommendation withdrawn. I am now using a Cuisinart one that makes a decent cup of coffee. The only thing I do not like is that it dribbles a little onto the plate when the carafe is removed. That is what towels are...

    Shunyata Z-tron Alpha Series

    I wonder if Shunyata is planning to segment its market the same way with the Anacondas or its other cables? I think it was Malcolm Gladwell who wrote an essay on what happens when the consumer is overloaded with too many choices.
