| 2017 ‘Keeper’ speakers under - $25K What are you talking about? If you are trying to discredit the speakers, good luck. The cost is squarely on the site at 14,900 a pair in many wood veneer choices. Painted, like mine, are an upcharge. He hides nothing and never has. That's why ... | |
| 2017 ‘Keeper’ speakers under - $25K Jim,Here is the Brutus award winner for Dave Clark of Positive Feedback: Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT loudspeakers (Read the review HERE)Nothing to add that hasn't been said in my review and elsewhere by other reviewers... simply amazingly musicall... | |
| 2017 ‘Keeper’ speakers under - $25K I think the reason I appreciate the Vandersteen speakers is because stats as well as Maggies have some issues in the bass and are nearly impossible to integrate with any sub. I know many claim that they use subs and they are just as fast as the p... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Only one sea story. In 1984 (march 10th I think it was) I was in my rack (about 10pm local time somewhere in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Iran). I had just gotten off of watch (I am a surface warfare officer or ship driver) on the USS Kitty... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Dave, thanks for understanding. Yes, you know my background, lol. BTW, I must share that when I was out to sea for 11 months at a time, I owned a pair of Stax Lambda Pro's with their portable, battery operated or plugged in amp that plugs into a... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Guys, there is no doubt that some mods can elevate the performance a great deal. That said, it's not going to beat out any of the DAC's that are being discussed in the thread as he's looking for the best and not just good ones. There are many rea... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT Interesting about your Ayre cable since it's just a rebadged Clear. They now have the Clear Ulta or something like that. I was told to check that out. What was it about the WEL that you didn't like? I was floored when I installed it. I have b... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, I'm down with that, lmao. Seriously, this is exciting. Wison, thanks. the butter thing isn't true. I look into everything as you can imagine. There is hardly anything that helps with myelin. I'm about to start a new drug that was just ... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT I drive nearly 3 hours to go to Johnny's in NJ just like you guys, lol. He's the most fair person I've ever met in audio. He totally undersells. As for cables, I've tried so many of the main stream as well as many of the boutique and handmade DI... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Bruce, the thing is that all you need to do is borrow some cables and play. That's what I do when I can and when I hear something that I feel sound THAT much better and the price is within what I feel is fair, I'll go for it. I feel very strongl... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, that's actually kind of funny and a great analogy, lol. Thanks for the laugh. Yes, everything makes a difference in digital. Wisnon, I wish I could be there, but I have knee surgery in Sept and won't be cleared to travel anywhere for at l... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? I totally disagree with just subtle differences. It depends on what your system is. Mine is very highly resolving and when I put the Audioquest Horizon balanced interconnect in (it's the same cable as the WEL which is about 9k a meter I believe ... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT Please don't be mad as me. I looked at a notebook I use after I listen to components and posted what I wrote. | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT I believe so. Are they really huge with a ton of arrayed drivers? If so, I think they were in the price range of my Quatro's. They sounded very exciting, but their tone didn't match the VAndersteen's. I personally don't like any of the high nu... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT Cajun, email me and let's talk off line. I'll answer any questions for you. I'm VERY familiar with each and every variant of Quatro he has sold (mine are obviously the newest and to my ear the best sounding). His little tweeks make a nice differen... |
