| vandersteen 2w subwoofer Just remember that the plate amp in the 2Wq has a build in first order boost from 80Hz on down, so for best results you should feed the mains with a first order roll off from 80 Hz on down. FWIW, Aesthetix makes some amps that have built in cross... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! I sent my comments to Sweetvinyl, and got a fast reply. It seems I have the software version prior to the current release. I set my SC-2 to Bypass and left it powered on, which should enable the firmware download. I will reboot tonight or tomor... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! Update - After some time away, I returned home, fired up my SC-2, and was pleased to see I got an update. Both the SC-2 and the Sugarcube Android app were updated. The biggest difference I noticed was that you can now customize the resolution for ... | |
| Recent retip(canti also) Dude where did my soundstage width go @terry9 - Lubing the nuts will reduce chaffing, but I am not sure it will make anything sound better. Well, courderoys, perhaps. | |

| What Do You Think About This Comment? Douglas - You make a good point. I have heard my own speakers demonstrated at shows and felt they didn’t sound nearly as good as they do in my own home with my front end gear. It’s all about synergy and set up. That said, I did have a pair of entr... | |
| Vintage Carver Thanks. This is helpful for those of us who look to buy used gear to save money. | |
| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range @johnnyb53 - Excellent idea. I have heard them, at a show, and they were extremely impressive. You need high cielings and some space around them to breathe, but the Carver Amazing Line Source is one of those rare speakers that just seems to do e... | |
| Wide dispersion + high efficiency + detail + coherence in a speaker? +1 on the Ohm suggestions. I have had the 2000s since 2009, and they provide as much of what you’re looking for as possible in one speaker. No, they do not project laser sharp images, but there is image specificity within a very wide, deep and tal... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! @kalali - There is never any "rush" on the Garden State! :-) More like the morning "mosey".Being extremely cheap, and a bit of a ludite, I have yet to commit to monthly streaming fees, and my cheap cell phone has limited data, so I am still all a... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! @miner42 - I hear you. I told one of the principles of Sweetvinyl that had the SC-2 only digitized, track-split, added metadata and sent the files to my networked server, I would have gladly bought it without the de-clickifier processing.At retai... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! @kalali - I enjoy spinning vinyl, and if I could, I would play the LP rather than the digitized version. But that's not always easy to do. I have to find the LP (harder than it sounds in my house), clean it, and flip it over in the middle. Some... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! @sbrownnw - No question the entry fee is on the high side. In Sweetvinyl's defense, I will say they have pretty much built a new product category from the ground up. Yes, I know there are competing de-clickifier programs, but, AFAIK, none of the... | |
| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? @travbrow - Your last post was quite reasonable. My point above in response to your earlier post was simply that, as JGH used to say, "if you haven't heard it, you don't have an opinion." Every system, room, ears, and brain is different. YMMV,... | |
| TT mats @lewm - The K-Works Ersamat does claim to block EMI from getting to the stylus/cartridge. |
