Guys if you need to know what size thread or what weights, why not ask your dealer?  That's why they do.  Not being difficult, but if I were to purchase something like this, I'd ask the person I purchase from.  JMHO... 
Why do I see more Vandersteen model 3s vs model 2s for sale?
Great posts guys.   You all make sense, because we all have our own priorities etc...  I can vouch for Tomic and Richard wanting to know about any problems, but what makes it worse is that you said I was at a dealer.  I've personally never sen any... 
Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III
I'm totally on board with Tomic on this one.  I guess we all hear differently, but I also use some decent electronics that I match properly with my VAndersateen Quatro's..>I've owned plenty of speakers over the years as well and I get to auditi... 
Why do I see more Vandersteen model 3s vs model 2s for sale?
I agree with Bob. I know for a fact that the veneering that is done at Vandersteen is top notch. I too build furniture for fun with a buddy (I have MS and can't pick up large boards or use power equipment some of the time so he keeps me honest and... 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Thanks for the info George. I'll still let my ears make the choice for me like most do.  Both can sound great and that's all that matters.  There is no one is better than the other right now.  Good DAC's on both sides of the isle as has been point... 
Subwoofer for Ayre AX-7e?
I have a feeling that the new Vandersteen mono blocks will be too much for me to resist, so I'll probably have to sell my Ayre AX5/20 in addition to selling my Ayre QX5 DAC/Server/Digital pre.....it will be strange not being an Ayre owner if all c...

Can't wait for Matt to get back from his vacation and get back to auditioning, lol.  Once I'm out of the hospital and get a couple more weeks or rest, I'll be heading down to his place (if my ride comes through, lol).  I can't wait to hear his sys...

Charlie Hansen also agrees. He disliked DSD personally.  He also knew how to filter properly.  George it's absolute statements like your's that turn many off. Many of us listen to all designs and products and we use our ears.  There are great desi... 
Best standalone music server?
The owner of Lumin is a HUGE audiophile. Not all companies are owned or run by someone who's into the hobby.  For you money, The Memory Player and it's less expensive server that I posted about above are the top ones, but Aurender and Lumin are ou...

Steve, thanks for speaking up about 'the best way to build a DAC'.  For those who say one is superior to Delta Sigma, you can't make that statement. It's just not true.  If you feel that way for YOUR DAC's that's fine, but personal.  Many of us ha... 
Subwoofer for Ayre AX-7e?
Thanks.  Sorry it's taken me so long, but I had surgery on Thursday and am in the rehab hospital for another week or more, LOL>>>>>terrible wifi here too, lol.

Guys, you can't put a % on anything in audio as it's so subjective.  Every system is so different with a product like this, because your vibration situation is totally different if that makes sense.  If you can afford the Gia or the HRS Nimbus, yo... 
Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more?
great story Wolf.  I love that.  I have spent a lot of time in studio years ago.  I never played so loudly that it hurt our ears, lol.  I would hate to hear how the final tape sounded, lol....wow.   
Best standalone music server?
Guys, be careful.  Most of the AC access wifi points will add a lot of noise to the signal that you can't get out even by optical isolation that I'm using as does my Ayre QX5 on it's ethernet connection.  There just isn't any way to get around it....
