| How to correctly hook up Vandersteen 2C speakers? You use 2 pairs of speaker cables instead of 1. Its also possible to use 1 pair of speaker cables and put jumper on the terminals.

| Vinyl Warm Up Time It sounds like your phono cart has enough time on it so its fully broken in. Just be aware that when it comes to break in, nothing is like a phono cart. The difference is huge. I've had brand new units that I thought were defective because they so... | |
| For those with a Belles Aria integrated... If it was my choice, I would get a pair of Vandersteen Model 1's. I think it would be a very good match, and they're not that expensive. | |
| The physics and limits of relative loudness perception Maybe the issue is with the new amp. If it has balanced connections along with single ended, you may want to start there. When a signal is balanced, the output increases approx. 4-6 db louder. Make sure you have both channels running either balanc... | |

| Footers under new speakers Put the spikes on and put a penny under each one. It should work well enough to get by while you're looking into different options. It will also serve as a reference.when you try new feet/spikes. | |
| Looking for a new power amp - choosing between T + A, Atoll, Rogue There are some good recommendations listed. The only area where I would disagree is going by price. For example, if you have a $5000 budget for an amp, then you're going to buy a $5000 amp. Do all $5000 amps sound the same? Not even close. I would... | |
| Linn Akurate 242 speaker spiked GAIA III Isolators (Set of 4) It doesn't have to be these. Just a link to this company. They sell just about everything at all price levels. | |
| Thoughts on using the DAC in my oppo 205 with a CD Transport. They both make a difference. You need to be careful when asking for opinions like this. Most people get their listening experience by reading spec sheets and reviews. Or they just guess because they think they know better. For example, someone tha... | |
| Audiolab 9000P bi amp speaker question Are you doing a horizontal or vertical biamp? That's important because if you do a horizontal biamp, you probably need a crossover to deal with the difference in volume. A vertical biamp avoids that issue. | |
