| Removing components from between the speakers Too bad the potential for a good thread is wasted by some. I don't blame the thread from going the direction it has though. I think the OP had a valid question and some of us tried to answer him honestly. Just because someone can't or won't afford... | |
| Vandersteen Seven Review Thanks for your review. I have the Treo's and have heard the 7's at Audio Connection on MANY occasions. They really are special. I can't wait to hear the mk II's. I realized a few years ago that Vandy's done WOW the masses on first listen. They ar... | |

| Looking to hear new systems in New Jersey Oh, ok...Funny, I just got invited to listen to two systems in NJ then, lol.... | |
| Removing components from between the speakers Everything 'JUST DEPENDS" when you break it all down. I have been to MANY a showroom over the last 46 years. Many if not most have had mono blocks in between the speakers (when listening to their higher end speakers and gear). I've heard systems b... | |
| Removing components from between the speakers It depends on many things I would think. How high up are your components. Are they in the middle or are the speakers pulled forward of them? Dispersion patters I assume would be affected depending on your set up. i have not choice, plus I have a 5... | |
| Looking to hear new systems in New Jersey Thanks. lol....Is this David? | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, I agree. One reason I stay with Audioquest is because that's what Richard Vandersteen uses with his speakers and it's what my dealer demo's them with. When we've changed cables or even cords, I've heard a huge drop off and that includes that... | |
| Audioquest Water There are many cables 'above' the Fire. I didn't want to say the Fire was the TOL. I"m very familiar with the whole line. I ended up with an XLR Niagara and have loved it. I will want to hear Fire too. I didn't like the Sky as much as the Niagara.... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I agree on USB cables....I also agree on ALL cables. There are too many great sounding cables on the market that are 'cost effective' I guess you would say. I never understood spending as much for cables as you do for the component. At that point ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Wow has this thread evolved. Thanks to all for what you are sharing. I would never have the Empiracal in my system if it wasn't for me seeing this thread and I love how it sounds. Matt, we need to talk again, lol. I can't wait to hear your take on... | |
| Holy Cow. My Vandersteen Treo's sound like new.. Yes even their original speakers are awesome. They upgrade to make money and to give a better speaker. It's what the higher end market is dictating. They still have their 1-3 series, but they realized years ago that the true market to make money i... | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Very interesting info you guys share. Thanks. I now have Steve's OSDE that was fully upgraded and I use his USB cable and the short block with the cable. I also use the mac mini server with Steve's big linear power supply. Are you saying this devi... |
