| Tonearm Options for Basis 2800 As good as the Vector 4 arm is, the Basis Superarm 9 blows it away. I just got mine one week ago and trust me, it is jaw dropping. I also put a Lyra Etna cartridge in which is still breaking in. Seems to be a great combination as the Etna is very ... | |
| Basis Audio Super Arm 9 Jwm- When describing the Super Arm 9, sonic bliss is an understatement. I have never experienced an upgrade like this in any system I have owned. I won't go into all of the sonic benefits of this arm because I could spend most of the day doing so.... | |
| Basis Audio Super Arm 9 I'll report back this weekend on what I hear with this arm. And thanks Jeff.You were one of those who really influenced my decision on this purchase. | |

| Vandersteen Seven Review The teflon cap upgrade is for the high pass filter built into the Atlas monos. | |
| Vandersteen Seven Review Bruce is a terrific dealer. I bought my 5As from him years ago. I live closer to LA than San Diego so I switched to Optimal Enchantment and Randy Cooley. I purchased my Model 7s from him. He gave me a terrific trade in on the 5As.The top of the Va... | |
| Vandersteen 5Aa Carbon--any 5a owner's opinions? Don't forget there is always the possibility that you could sell your 5as. I traded mine in when I bought the 7s. This helped put me in the ball park of thekind of price you are talking about. I'm a retired teacher in California, not exactlyDonald... | |
| Vandersteen 5Aa Carbon--any 5a owner's opinions? I should also mention that the electronics that I have are Aesthetix Io Eclipsephono preamp with two power supplies plus Aesthetix Atlas Signature monobloc amps. I had this set up with both the 5a and 7 speaker systems. | |
| Vandersteen 5Aa Carbon--any 5a owner's opinions? I had the Vandersteen 5a speaker system in my listening room for about 6 years.Peter Roth (Ultra Audio) is a member of the LA?Orange County Audio Society where I am also a member. At the time his reference speaker was the 5a. He told me about the ... | |

| Attention Vandersteen 5A owners/ amp matches I failed to mention that I believe it also has a fiber carbon enclosure and the pigtails are Audioquest Wild Blue Yonder. So, as you can see, this is a completelynew HP filter. | |
| Attention Vandersteen 5A owners/ amp matches The new high pass filter is the M7-HP. I talked with RV last December about it at the LA/OC Audiophile dinner. He has completely revised the unit with much better caps and other parts. He has since told me that the difference is veryclear. Peter R... | |
| Attention Vandersteen 5A owners/ amp matches Ayre monos work very well with the 5A and 7. Same for Aesthetix monos. I also have talked with Richard about this. I opted for Aesthetix monos because I have the Io Eclipse preamp. I also think the world of Jim White. The AR 210 can drive the 5a v... | |
| Attention Vandersteen 5A owners/ amp matches Aesthetix Atlas mono blocs with signature caps. A hybrid that will give youthe voltage that the sub woofer in the 5a needs. 16k for both amps. RVhas said that these speakers and the Model 7 need that voltage. |
