| Whats on your turntable tonight? Dire Straits, Brothers In Arms, MoFi 45 RPM two disc set. WOW!!!! Sounds *fantastic* even on my modest 'table. | |
| Have you heard of this speaker? Wesley & Kemp Looks like the worst kind of nostalgia. | |
| Charley Hansen (Ayre) Passed Away "There is no negative feedback in heaven" -- great line and fitting tribute to someone (only one?) I put in the same league as Richard Vandersteen. | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo I run 3A Sigs with an Ayre V-5xe. Fantastic synergy. | |
| Phono stages employing feedback & record scratch "tic" Can't give you a bright-line rule, but my Ayre P-5xe is legendarily quiet and does not use feedback. Not sure if it is quiet *because* it lacks feedback, though. | |
| Vandersteen fans..need your input (TREO CT) I think our hearing is less sensitive to high frequencies at low volumes. Have you tried playing around with toe in? | |
| No frills balanced ss integrated amp? Used Ayre. | |
| New York Stereo show at Park Lane Hotel First time hearing about it; thanks for the intel. Will check out who's exhibiting and decide on that basis.... | |
| Biwire Cables for Vandersteen 2CE Signatures That sounds like a good approach. Spend the leftover $600 on music. :) | |
| Biwire Cables for Vandersteen 2CE Signatures I have true bi-wire Audioquest Type 4s between my Vandersteen 3A Sigs and my Ayre V-5XE. I think that wiring set up costs around $250 and it works great. It’s your money, spend it as you wish....but I’d hesitate to budget $1000 on speaker wires in... | |
| Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K) Just a general comment. I think that some people who comment about Vandersteens lacking detail or sounding overly warm (i.e., to the point of being colored) perhaps have not heard the current line. I find it hard to believe anyone thinking the c... | |
| Vandersteens, PSB or something else? If you can swing the Quattro CTs, that'd be my first recommendation. | |
| Vandersteen I have 3A Sigs, driven by an Ayre V-5xe. Killer combination. That said, having recently heard the Quattro CT at Johnny Rutan's place, I would say that that is a big step up from the traditional Vandys (1, 2, 3). If it is feasible to wait a bit ... | |
| Will preamp manufacturers tell you if the model is phase inverse? Ah, yes! Good point. | |
| Will preamp manufacturers tell you if the model is phase inverse? Virtually certain that the RP-1 inverts phase--confirm with John Rutan (audioconnection on this board). I think the added complication with that preamp is that the phono pre-amp adds another stage of inversion, bringing you back into phase. If y... |
