VAC & FOCAL : 2-Channel w/Vinyl 2 com?Thank you Harve! Exactly what I tried to explain in my comparison between it and the Signature 2a. It is effortless and seems to add more nuance and body to each note with everything else you descr... posted about 10 years ago | View comment | |

VAC & FOCAL : 2-Channel w/Vinyl 2 com?Harve, with all the interest in hearing the Statement you better get it installed and breaking in for everyone's visit in October. I think Kevin is being humble when he says you should hear a diffe... posted about 10 years ago | View comment | |
VAC & FOCAL : 2-Channel w/Vinyl 2 com?Has the VAC Statement Pre-amp landed yet? I am anxious to hear your opinion, especially in your highly revealing system. posted about 10 years ago | View comment | |
VAC & FOCAL : 2-Channel w/Vinyl 2 com?Knghifi, you obviously have not heard the Statement pre amp; if you had, you would understand how I can make the claims I made. You don't need to have the Signature 2a right next to it, especially ... posted about 10 years ago | View comment | |
VAC & FOCAL : 2-Channel w/Vinyl 2 com?I can't wait for your comments on the Statement Line stage. I am curious if my description posted awhile ago on your thread and pooh poohed by another member as meaningless is similar to yours. It ... posted about 10 years ago | View comment | |
VAC & FOCAL : 2-Channel w/Vinyl 2 com?Can't wait to hear your impressions of Kevin Hayes' Statement Pre-amp! I think you will agree it is the Signature 11a on steroids. I wish I could buy one. Love the Focal Grand Utopia's but think th... posted over 10 years ago | View comment | |

Back to Solid State (No More!)Truemaineiac, I did own an Audio Research PH-7 and an EAR 324 solid state phono stages prior to buying the Signature 2a. I know Kevin favors analog sources and knew his phono was well designed and ... posted over 10 years ago | View comment | |

Back to Solid State (No More!)Folker, I owned the VAC 220's and loved them but then went back to solid state. Then, after listening to solid state I went back to my beloved VAC equipment. The 220's are one of these most beautif... posted over 10 years ago | View comment | |
VAC & FOCAL : 2-Channel w/Vinyl 2 com?I listened to the Statement at CES the first year the Statement debuted and also at Rocky Mountain. I don't have to listened to it side by side to the Signature 2a to know it far surpasses the Sign... posted almost 11 years ago | View comment | |
VAC & FOCAL : 2-Channel w/Vinyl 2 com?Dev, don't mean to hijack Harve's thread but I have compared the Signature 2a to the Statement and made a mistake in my thread that may have suggested I own it. I do not. It blows away the Signatur... posted almost 11 years ago | View comment | |
Back to Solid State (No More!)Thanks Dev! I am loving the Evolution Acoustic MM2's; wish I could have the MM3's but another 10k for the extra woofer is too much right now. I wish I could own any of Kevin's Statement pieces; the... posted almost 11 years ago | View comment | |
VAC & FOCAL : 2-Channel w/Vinyl 2 com?Hi Dev; I own the VAC Signature IIa pre amp and couldn't be happier. It replaced an ARC Ref 5 that lacked the musicality and body on the notes compared to the Signature. How can I describe the diff... posted almost 11 years ago | View comment | |
