| Speaker Upgrade Yes, it goes 1, 2, 3, Treo, Quatro, 5 and 7. I would personally purchase a new pair of 1's over a 15 year old pair of 2's. Newer components means a lot in a pair of speakers. cs, email me at ctsooner@alumni.ou.edu Pete | |
| Best Speakers with a DNA-1? Bob, no a decent preamp will be better for volume control than the Codex will give you. They spent a ton more money on the QX5/20 headphone amp and volume control. bob, send me your email again please. I can't find it. Sam is the BEST. He's a g... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I haven't even shared this with Matt yet, but I was given a few sets of the feet that BEL ( Brown Labs) used back in the day. Just inexpensive and simple hard rubber feet. I installed them under my Ayre integrated as well as the Ayre QX5/20 and ... | |
| Budget American made speakers? That's a good price for sure. Some of the local dealers often have similar deals if you are close to one. | |
| Best Speakers with a DNA-1? Bob, I'm gettin The Memory Player by Sam Laufer's company. You can get it with or without the DAC built in. I'll have the DAC built directly into it as they do it properly so everything is shielded and isolated properly. They have totally separa... | |
| Newbie looking for amplifier advice awesome....VAndersteen and Ryans to me are some of the best value in speakers out there. I have wondered what he ended up with. Inquiring minds want to know, lol. | |
| Best Speakers with a DNA-1? Sure, may as well send some pics. I won't know for a few months since the amps won't be ready quite yet. Have to move a few pieces before I can afford it. I also wanted to do balanced if possible as that's how the amps are maxed out and I have a... | |
| Best Speakers with a DNA-1? Offnon, I promise you that if you go listen to some of the newer speakers like a Vandersteen or even B&W (Johnny also sells those so you can hear side by side) you will be floored. Bob, I will need a preamp/volume control is I get the Vanders... | |
| Budget American made speakers? Yes, Johnny is as good as it gets, that's for sure. | |
| Best Speakers with a DNA-1? Agree about getting over to Verona, NJ adn Audio Connection. The Vandersteen's mate great with those amps. I asked a couple of friends offline (they don't play in audio forums, lol) about their amps that weren't upgraded and how they mated with t... | |
| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range what city do you live in? I know when I was going to get a new set of speakers, I ended up getting teh Vandy's from a dealer in NJ, Audio Connection. They are nearly 3 hours away. For a few other speakers that I wasn't going to drive that far f... | |
| Speakers costing range of 2500-3500 per pair Not talking specifically about Ascend. Thanks for calling my statement a joke. Greatly appreciated, lol. ;). I"m so glad that you love the company and the man. I say that in all honesty. I won't put him down either, since I don't know him. I... | |

| Ayre AX-5 Integrated Amplifier They have even made minor upgrades over time. Just a great piece. Ayre has a 7 year plus lifespan on their components. They just make upgrades like cars that do mid life cycle refreshes. Don't know how that will be handled now that Charlie is ... | |
| Budget American made speakers? tschoroder, they aren't necessarily better. That's subjective in audio. The aren't bookshelf and set up isn't easy to get the most out of them. I'm very familiar with all the Maggie line and like them when set up properly, so I'm not disparagin... |
