| Vandersteen Quatro CT I want to clarify something I posted. When I said 'Highly percussive' this is how it should have come across and I don't think it did:It's a highly percussive speaker. Dynamics (((aren't a strong suit))))) as I think it's one of the rare speaker... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT LOL, YES. I got the Audi Havana Black Quatro's (he said that for the upcharge to paint, he will do any color you want). The speakers are just beautiful to look at. They are pretty in the wood veneers that they use, but painted make them look li... | |
| Floor Stander with Small Footprint 7K - 15K OP, what have you been doing with your search? | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Brinkmann sounds outstanding to me. My ear isn't what everyone else's is and visa versa. Matt knows my ear fairly well by now I think (we have discussed our differences). It's like most great audio products. It gets better and better the more t... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I heard the Brinkmann Nyquist DAC about a year or so ago (not totally sure, but it was just before it came to market). I was really impressed and have probably mentioned it in this thread, but I know I have told Matt multiple times that it was a... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? LMAO.... now that's funny stuff. | |
| If bi-amping is so great, why do some high end speakers not support it? Yes, Vandersteen has a white paper. He was sharing at Audio Connections during one of his visits. I've spoken very recently with him about bi wiring and I can't share what he said, because I honestly don't remember it, lol. I do however remembe... | |
| If bi-amping is so great, why do some high end speakers not support it? Have you ever heard Vandersteen speakers (any of them from 2's up) played in both bi wired and then in non bi wired? I only bring them up, because I have done this many times with many of their speakers. There are plenty of other manufacturer's ... | |
| The best tweeter design As Suncoast posted, it's about the material and speed matching the other drivers in the speaker. That=implementation. I personally haven't like the plasma system as there is a disconnect and lack of coherency to MY ears. Many love them, but I a... | |
| The best tweeter design I"ve heard them all in one form or another. It's all about implementation. Plenty of threads on here about best 'mid', tweeter, woofer etc...I personally feel that the reason speakers sound better now days is due to the better quality materials ... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? KN, possibly the best post in any of these threads where folks come on and spout science and feel they are right and the rest are wrong. Thanks for sharing. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thanks Matt. Yes, that was the deal. I just knew that they were identical other than a connection. Clock, not source connection, lmao..... What if your DAC has a great clock. How would that then work? Does it then get bypassed if you use an ex... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD First off, thanks to Jeff for making the offer (I have the best headphone amp I've ever heard in my Ayre QX5/20) even though I don't need a new DAC/amp. That's really kind and he's doing the opposite of some companies by NOT selling out the back ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, you crack me up. I love it. Guys, he texts me all the time about can's as I'm into them a lot. He still needs to try a pair of Noble IEM's, lol. He will in time I'm sure.Very cool of the company to make this offer. I know on other boar... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Looks like he may be looking at Playback. The more this thread goes and the more I think bout my own situation, I'm leaning heavily towards maybe keeping my MacMini and just put a 1T SSD in it for my CD collection (not sure it can handle what I h... |
