Vandersteen 2ce sigs? Beginner needs guidance.
Thiel takes yet another "hit" ...hehe....The Vander's , yeah i've heard em, 4 rs ago. They're allright. Abit fatigue there, too heavy for my taste after an hour session. . "oh that was 4 yrs ago, its a new speaker now"...yeah Ok, so my opinion is ... 
CDP to replace vinyl
If Cary has worked out its build problems, then maybe a Cary. But my Cayin 17 doesn't sound too shabby. I'm trying to roll the 4 6922's to see if I can get even more out of an already fine sounding player, I'm trying for a quad of BugleBoys, under... 
HELP Horns, Stats or Conventional Speakers
First off Bose is not a speaker. Not sure what you'd call it, I've heard some bad words not to repeat, used to describe Bose. No stats, ribbons, horns for me. Strictly old fashion cones. 
Speaker recommendation for Cayin a88t/kt88
Ck out the Tyler SIGNATURE MONITORs a MTM design which may be too much for your room size, otherwise ck oyt his design with a single 7 inch/tweeter in a floorstanding model, same price as the MTM. 
Spendor S8e, Dynaudio Focus 220, VA Grand Mozart
If you read sallie's comments, she does not place the Spendor as superior to the Tyler. She;'s says ? If push came to shove, my PERSONAL decision is spendor by a WEE TINY MARGIN". Make ot it you will. Just don't go blowing hotair that spendor blow... 
Tube rolling in Cayin A-88T
"harsh compared to TEAC". Are you refering to TEAC that japanese c**p that came out in the 70's? Spam. The Cayin needs zero breakin time btw Newbee. 
Tyler Acoustics Linbrook/Super Mini Monitors
I would guess Ty followed D' Apoloito's xover in the MTM. So expect no sound difference there. Considering Ty has put together a very impressive array of models using the Seas' (he does utilize the Scanspeak tweet, for whatever reason in a few of ...

Gsselling can you explain further, I'm not following you. How do you find the Systems 2? Comp[ared to all other speakers from your past? "...the larger Tyler's will be first on my list as replacements" I gather you mean to say you will be interest... 
New Tubes- Need Burn-In?
Dan I have plans to get the A88, months off though. What did you pay for the Svet quads? And the 2 sets of pres? Why did you use 2 different types of pres? Different #'s? I may replace the tubes in my Cayin cdp if that will make a difference.. Any...

Look what could lead to provocative encounters here if each side would level with the other's idea's /opinions ( believed) thus we might have more meaningful discussions. But I'm afriad to take Sallie's comments further. Read the article make up y...

Tvad, as you are aware Katrina wiped me out. Had circumstances been otherwise, I'd have a pair. Things may change later this yr, , a certain "loan" may come through. Until then all we have to go on are sally's comments and dozens others like here'... 
Not wasting my time on new Digital
The money factor should never influence your decision in buying. "more it costs must mean the better it is" is non-sense. The only exception to the rule is Jadis, which really doesn't concern many posting members here. Sure yrs ago the higher the ... 
NAD Model 1020 Preamp and 2150 Amp
Its NAD what do you expect? 
Tyler Acoustics Linbrook/Super Mini Monitors
Read 43600 as "$3600". The seas' might not be "as soft" as other paper cone woofers, but as sally says, "imprefect, yet possessed of magical power". IOW 'as close to perfect as you're going to get". Seas' in the design of the cone material gave up...
