My Experience with Dave from Audio Doctor NJ
Great post and thanks for sharing.I feel better about myself now, lol.Folks, so many use FLAC as it's easy and you get album art easier etc....  Try the same files in WAV.  Many designers will tell yo it's much better for SQ.  I feel the same way.

great post.  Thanks, I feel better about my own journey now, lol.  Also, most run FLAC as it's easy and you get the art, but most top designers I know only use WAV and that's what I use.  I have about 1T of Flac now, but we will change it over to ... 
Room placement for Vandersteen Treo CT
Sky, I wish you were, lol...promise you that, lol 
Vandersteen TREO CT's with Pass Labs XA60.8
I think it was the 30W one, but it could have been the larger one.  I ran mine for a couple of years with the Ayre AX7e, which is A/B and a smaller amp than my AX5/20.   The Pass he brought over wasn't large, was a stereo not mono and had plenty o... 
Any love for the Belles Aria or other recent Belles amplifier?
I've spoken to a few folks who own or have auditioned the Belles gear and they seem to play well in the sandbox with most everything.  That's very rare.

Dave, thanks for posting my thoughts and views.  Makes it easier for me to post as I guess I don't need to anymore.  I posted my thoughts and views, but you decided to tell me what I am going to post and then even told me why 'I' am wrong, lol.  I... 
Vandersteen Treo CT, Pair of Sub threes and Lyngdorf TDAI 3400
wish I understood set up better than I do.  I may call this week if I can carve out some time to talk.  I have a few questions for you. 
Von Schweikert VR 55 Active versus Wilson Audio Alexia's/Sasha's?? Which upgrade??
I agree with Johnny.  I stayed away from Vandy for many years.  Liked them, but were never set up properly as the dealers I went to were lazy and never set the rake properly (and so easy to do).  When I finally heard the Treo's it was after 2 year...

That new Aesthetix Mimas is probably a game changer for the cost. I was shocked when I saw that.  I love their gear (had Rhea) and boy do they stand by it.  We all need to go visit Tomic!!!!!  I want to hear his other houses system with the 7's ;)... 
Room placement for Vandersteen Treo CT
Awesome stuff.  keep us posted on things.  I spoke to Jonny and Richard on my Quatro placement recently. I have MS and can't physically move things, so I rely on having friends come listen and help (son in law is strong like bull).  I'm going to p... 
Vandersteen TREO CT's with Pass Labs XA60.8
I had a friend bring that Pass over when I owned the Treo's (Now Quatro) and it sounded great in my room. I have a large area to fill up too, but I also one listen at 85db or so when seriously listening. I use a sound pressure meter app from my li... 
Any love for the Belles Aria or other recent Belles amplifier?
Those belles product really are special. They are one of the true values in high end audio. they are not out of place in much more expensive and sophisticated systems. If I was putting a system together for someone on a limited budget, I’d gladly ... 
My Experience with Dave from Audio Doctor NJ
Guys, digital is a strange beast and most folks just don't want to spend the time to ask the right questions or do it correctly.  There are some outstanding pieces of digital gear, but it may be the most important place in the system to have syner... 
Subwoofer options for Magnepan with crossover betwen pre and amp?
I personally love Maggies in the larger panels, but dynamic bass is something that most folks are used to and want.  Physics can only do so much for a Maggie playing by itself.  Lot's of folks use subs with them and each time I've heard a sub mate...

Many of us are in the Most camp.  You can't fix broken, but many chase their tails trying. I'm making a point and not saying that the speakers are broken.  Not by any means. Many folks value what they do.  Many of us have the same issues of cohere...
