| Belles 21A standby mode? 1markr, I received my L-2 Christmas day(actually arrived). I'm very impressed with it and feel it was a definite improvement over the L-1 I had previously.Why don't you call Dave Belles and talk to him about your questions. I would think that it w... | |
| Should audiophiles be disappointed?... No way can you get around room treatments. Acoustics dictate this. It is one of those physical things we live with. Can you make your voice sound the same in any enviroment? It sounds hollow in an empty room. It sounds better in a acoustical dead ... | |
| Vandersteen-like "In-between" speakers The 3 sounds closer to the 2Ce where the 3A Sigs are closer to the model 5's. They are considerably more transparent, sound stage better and seem to open up so much better. Look at the Sounstage review by Doug Blackburn. He has a pair of 3A's he c... | |
| Belles 21A standby mode? There is not going to be a change in intensity of the light emitted from the tube filaments. The power to the filaments remains the same on or off. It's the other circuits you change.1markr, care to comment on the comparison between the L-2 and th... | |
| Vandersteen-like "In-between" speakers I love how people think you can improve so much over the 3A Signatures with more money or whatever. What are you improving on. Just because something sounds "Different" doesn't mean it is "Better." The 3A Signatures are a proven accurate speaker. ... | |
| Best cable to use with meridian 508.24? Try Acoustic Zen Silver Reference or Harmonic Technology Prosilway II or III. Either cable works well. I'm sure they're many others. Everyone has their favorite. But synergy is the key and I know from experience these work well with your equipment. | |
| Vandersteen 2ci: what a pleasant surprise I think Vandersteen is probably one of the most underrated speakers out there. I have been using them for years in various incarnations. Vandersteen is usually describe as laid back or lacking sparkle in the highs. The 1st order crossover and phas... | |
| Moderately priced interconnect for McCormack amp I would add the Kimber Silver Streak. Unshielded but good stuff. | |
| Best sounding player under $3500 Used ? I second the Ayre. | |
| How to bi-amp with 2 two-channel amps? You can do it either way but here is my suggestion and the reasoning behind it.Use one amp on each speaker. One channel drives the highs(and/or mids) and the other drives the lower end. The reason I feel that doing this is better has to do with th... | |
| what's the best pre amp I bought a new Audible Illusions L-2 to go with my Belles 350A. It makes a wonderful combo. I feel this is the best sounding AI preamp to date. Its smooth, transparent and dynamic. It is also quiet for a tube pre. It also has remote volume that wo... | |
| Tube Equipment: Gimmick? I use a tube preamp and it "Sounds" as accurate as any solid state preamp I have used. Of course, what is accurate?I feel it has to be true to the source, BUT, how did the source really sound? This could go on and on. I look for flat frequency res... | |
| Connecting Vandersteen 2Wq I'll give it a try since it want cost me anything either. I used 8tc for a good while. Thought its bass performance was great but seemed a little grainy in the highs and lacked a little in sounstaging. I still feel it is a heck of a bargain in wir... | |
| Connecting Vandersteen 2Wq Sdcampbell, What subtlies did you notice with the 8TC? I have a couple of sufficient lengths to use. I tried the AQ Type 4 wire since it was solid core. I didn't notice much. I have been using the Vandersteen wire cut just long enough. | |
| Connecting Vandersteen 2Wq Sorry for the multiple posts. I had a little trouble with the submit button! It wouldn't submit but I guess it actually did! |
