| Amplifier reviews from Hardesty's I used the Theta Dreadnaught I 4-ch for a while with my Vandersteen 3a Sigs. I found it to be a good overall amp but a trifle soft in the bottom and lacking in the "Jump" factor. Mids and highs were excellent although I felt a touch off in dynamic... | |
| vandersteen 3a sig ss vs. tube The Vandersteen's can sound wonderful with tubes as well as ss. I've tried about everything with the 3A Sigs. I've found the midrange is probably a little better with tubes but ss does the frequency extremes and bass better. I currently use solid ... | |
| Original Audible Illusions Modulus question I have not known any of the Modulus preamps not be phase inverting. Without a cathose follower, the will invert phase. As for tubes, look on the Audible web sight. Art cautions you about certain NOS tubes. The Modulus is hard on tubes so you need ... | |
| Placette RVC review in Stereophile The fellow really didn't go into much detail. He mentions dynamics early on but really doesn't elaborate. I felt it left me wanting a little more detail on the sound. | |
| Vandersteen 1C set up You really need that manual. Call Vandersteen and have them send you one, it's about $5. Vandersteen's are set up for tilt back using your ear height in the listening position and your distance from the speaker. It is very important this be correc... | |
| Belles II Amp Call Dave Belles(Power Modules.) I'm sure he can answer your question. | |
| Meridian 508,20 upgrade result in new laser? Probably not(unless something was wrong with it). The electronics are the main update from 20 bit to 24 bit. Everything else stays. | |
| Is the big sound from the big names? Look up the thread in the archives started by Sean, "Current trends in multi-thousand dollar speakers."If you think a big company or a high price buys better, you might want to rethink that position.Some of the long standing companies offer some v... | |
| My Belles 150 is buzzing when I turn it on.. Sometimes a very low level buzz that can be heard from less than a few feet away is considered normal. There are several other possibilities, let the amp warm up a while and it may go away or there is a light dimmer or some other control in the ho... | |

| whats first order filter on spkr's cross over ? It means that the slope rolls off frequency at 6db per octave. For example, if you take 100hz frequency with a 6db filter, it will be down 6db at 50hz and 12db at 25hz(2 octaves shown here)6db filters create less phase shift and as a consequence a... | |
| meadowlark nighthawk/ vandersteen 3a sig Audiofankj, Sometimes I get confused, are we looking at which speaker looks good or one(s) that sound good in this thread. In the looks department, I would certainly give the nod to the Meadowlarks. However, how much of the production cost goes in... | |
| meadowlark nighthawk/ vandersteen 3a sig I really don't hear anything wrong with the Vandersteen's bass as long as a high damping factor amp is used capable of delivering high current into the relatively low impedance of the speaker. Tube amps are nice in the mids and highs but leave a l... | |
| Best Redbood CD Player Used/New under $7K I also vote for the Wadia 861se. Best I've heard. | |
