| Speaker Footers and Amp stands Irish65 Gee thanks. I didn't know about the Sistrum Sp-101 being a suitable support for speakers.I am assuming from your post they suitably improved things enough to suuport the costs.I will look into it.The triangular shape has enough surface are... | |
| Speaker Footers and Amp stands Hmmm... no one uses stands for floor mounted speakers?Sound anchors used to be the popular choice, I would have thought some newer and better items had come along since them.Any experiences there or swapping out amps using the same stand would be ... | |
| VSA speaker owners What did you upgrade to? Beheme Well, lets see, I've had JRs for a little over a year or so now. I started the thread. it asks what other vSA owners have moved on or up to... I should think perhaps I'm curious about upgrading. Huh? Maybe? If not then why point to VSA owne... | |
| VSA speaker owners What did you upgrade to? "... and didn't look back" Wow. There's a statement.To be sure, the JRs are overachievers. Mine have sounded their best ever just recently with some system changes. There's no getting around their res, detail, and coherency, despite twin cabs... a... | |
| Need thoughts on Canary & Cary I used both Kevin, and Andy to price tubes with. Andy was less by a good margin. kevin said the 'now' tubes would not be the exact same as orig. he also said some sonic diffs were to be had as well... though nothing poor, just not at the same leve... | |
| VSA speaker owners What did you upgrade to? I can also see changing brands too, Tvad. Simply to gain some greater ease of use via standard configurations.Hiend2 VR4 to VR8? yayyy you. Now that's a real step up, I would think. Figured why waste time, huh? Just get on up to the penthouse and ... | |
| Need thoughts on Canary & Cary DennisWhoa! My info on pricing 300b's is sure higher than that, like double.... or more. A lot more. I did do some research too with creditable tube vendors for a good while. Those sound great huh? Lovely. the retubing price wasn't the only thing ... | |
| Need thoughts on Canary & Cary Well the room is 14x20x8.5 or so. and the now plan is to improve on what is on hand as much as possible.so the current decision is to get more eff speakers, and a solid choice in amp which will not cost terribly to keep up. Talking with VAC and my... | |
| Need thoughts on Canary & Cary OK.. thanks... as for speakers. It depends. If I am able to do the VAC, then for a time, maybe a year, the speakerage duty will fall to what's on hand now. namely, Phase Tech's former flagship, PC 10.5 w/87db, 4ohms, or Phase techs monitor series ... | |
| Review: PS Audio PS Audio Duet AC filter A word about the power switch on the PS Audio Duets.I said the UPC 200 took some time to manifest it’s best filtration level. The same thing happens with the Duet, though the time frame is shorter and the results better. What does happen, eventual... | |
| Need thoughts on Canary & Cary yep. Customer service and support are most important. they are not however the only reason to buy. eg. above, build, sonics, designs, maintainence... etc. Oh, and there's that price thing too. | |
| Review: Elrod Power Systems (EPS) Signature 3 Power cord ...my pleasure Tvadwith the incorporation of the Duet, an ammendment to the bass authority of the Elrod is due... that being the bass impact and distinctiveness are well into the high end of audio excellence... not merely defined and tightly woven... | |
| Review: PS Audio PS Audio Duet AC filter Thank you.Funny thing to me is always my reluctance to change. When I found the Duets to be at about 200 hours I plugged them into my system. Didn't care for the sound then. Put back in the UPC200. Better... IMO. It wasn't really, but I was more f... | |
