| Audiocubes2.com I bought a Lyra Titan from them. The diamond came off and if there is a warranty for it, I couldn't find how to use it. I contacted Lyra Japan directly and the U.S. distributer, Musical Surroundings, and there was no valid warranty. | |
| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? >>I think that you answered your own question. There will be upgrades to a point and then the Ref4<<As it should be. Odd, that some people think that a company shouldn't continue to put out a better product, including switching to a wh... | |
| Audiocubes2.com They are great prices. And they do deliver the goods. Be forwarned though, they are a "grey market" dealer and you won't get any warrenty. If anything happens to your cartridge, or when it simply wears out you won't be entitled to any discounts or... | |
| Joan Baez - Do I just not get it? >>Yeah you really have to hate this low inflation, great housing market, low mortgage rates, good stock market, and low consumer prices. Yup, it sucks or maybe you were thinking of France?<<Maybe inlation has been low for a record amou... | |
| BEST UPGRADE regardless of cost? Perfecting the room acoustics. Made a bigger difference than any componant I ever bought or upgraded. | |
| Amps for Vandersteen 3A Signature SS or Tube? Laid back and yet detailed is a very good description of the whole Vandersteen line. Especially the 3A sigs and the 5As. Laid back in that you can listen to them for hours at any sound level without ear fatigue. In other words not colored on the b... | |

Just try and collect.I think that the US Post Office actually is safer, more careful, and more responsive to insu... | |
| Anyone spend more on their system than their car? Audio systems can be very expensive, as we all know. Mine cost more than my 4x4 pickup truck and my Lexus combined. But, I also have a Frieghtliner tractor and trailor and it costs less then that. Doesn't bother me to think about it at all. For wh... | |
| Reviews with all double blind testing? Hmm, one of you speaks as if you have participated in and/or has seen the results from many audio DBT tests. Where are these test held? Where are they reported? | |
| Amplifier for Vandersteen 5A' s ? Should you purchase the speakers, why not first try them with the amp you have? That way as you audition other amps you have a baseline as a comparison.I did that when I moved up from the 3A sigs. to the 5As. I kept the Dreadnaught amp that I had ... | |
| Acappella/Vocal Jazz/Gospel recommendations? Ditto for the Fairfield Four. Also, anything by Sweet Honey in the Rock. Especially their Carnegie Hall album. | |
| music to wake up vandy 5a subs The Cream "Wheels of Fire" for rock, Ray Brown "Solar" for jazz, "Swan Lake" or "Espana" for classical. I'm sure there are even better but, these came to my mind first. | |
| Where to put side/rear speakers? In general, sit in your favorite spot. Look over each shoulder at the side walls, that is the best placement. In other words, just slightly back from 90°. Wall mount v.s. stands and height depends on the speaker. If you put the back speakers right... | |
| Reviews with all double blind testing? I have a huge problem with the concept of DBT, with regards to trying to determine the differences or lack there of, with audio products. Maybe I'm just slow but, I often have to live a piece of gear for awhile before I can really tell what it can... |
