| tube pre for bryston Look at the Audible Illusions L-1 or the M3A. Both are excellent preamps and have been selling fairly cheaply lately. | |
| HELP: Subwoofer for music One of the high points of the Vandersteen sub is it can be readjusted to whatever system you change to. It is extremely flexible. It doesn't take a lot to set it up correctly. It does require you to install high pass filters into your amps inputs ... | |
| Speaker Cable directionality: reversable?? I hope the same amount of power (w = v x a) travels both ways. Phase has nothing to do with power flow. It is simply an orientation to keep both speakers going the same direction or the power flow in the left is moving the same direction with the ... | |
| Are silver coated cables a bunch of hype? Brucejel, It is my understanding that the Pro Silway II uses both copper and silver conductors instead of the silver over copper stuff. I use them myself and really enjoy their sound.Also, has anyone ever looked up how much better silver conducts ... | |
| Speaker Cable directionality: reversable?? Bob-b---That is exactly why I said there are a "few" engineering reasons why wire is directional. Any electrical or electronics engineer will tell you there is a difference in flow direction (as in a direction) depending on how the wire is made. H... | |
| Speaker Cable directionality: reversable?? This is a question that has been discussed numerous times on this forum. The answer is yes and no depending who's talking. Since an AC signal is present and electrical energy goes back and forth, you wouldn't think that it would make any differenc... | |
| Senior Audiophiles - Audiophile since the 60-70's? Sorry, I forgot the last couple of questions (senior moment.) My favorite time was the late 60's and early 70's. College was a blast. I loved the music and I loved the equipment that played it. It was nice looking and well built for the most part.... | |
| Senior Audiophiles - Audiophile since the 60-70's? I started my search for the Holy Grail back in the mid 60's when I was in high school. My father introduced me to "Hifi." I had a Heathkit amp and a pair of KLH 17's. I used a Garrard turntable at first and switched to a Dual both with a Shure M91... | |
| Alternatives to Dunlavy speakers? I think Richard Hardesty does an excellent job of describing Dunlavy's, Thiels and Vandersteen's in his online magazine "The Audioperfectionist." He goes into great detail about these different speakers and comes to a conclusion based on his exper... | |
| Are NHT VT2.4's harsh, or is it just me? I think NHT wanted to try and get a little more extension. Actually, some people complained about the original soft dome being a little rolled off(hum) Maybe they felt since everyone was going to metal dome, they had too. The metal dome actually m... | |
| Vandy 2ce vs. 2ci Having owned just about everything in the Vandersteen line, I agree they "Will" play rock. However, they WILL NOT rock at levels above about 92db. If you have a fairly large room and intend to play at that level or higher, I would look elsewhere. ... | |
| Vandy 2ce vs. 2ci The 2ce has a different tweeter than the 2ci in most models. There was a time when Vandersteen put the 2ci 3/4" tweeter in the earlier 2ce. Then he went to the improved 1" tweeter. The 2ce has a little better bass than the 2ci and with the 1" twee... | |
| Polarity on the Infini cap? Herman, I buy what your selling and it might make a difference in absolute terms(maybe.) However, as I stated earlier, manufactures say try them both ways. The Infinicaps are not marked for polarity and neither are many other caps. When they are o... | |
| Polarity on the Infini cap? If you look at the label on the capacitor and read it left to right, then it is suggested that the signal come in on the left and leave on the right(which sounds nuts since this is an alternating AC voltage) but it is how the cap is internally mad... | |
| Are NHT VT2.4's harsh, or is it just me? The NHT's can be harsh with the wrong equipment. Let them break in a little bit and see what happens. They're actually a fairly revealing speaker although I have personally liked the 2.5(not the 2.5i) for home theater. They have the soft dome and ... |
