| VANDERSTEEN 2 owners can get $500 for trade in Yes, dealer trade in. Makes the most sense. It's actually a great deal if you have older 2's as you don't have to sell and ship and go through the hassle. To me, it's the perfect time to do an upgrade and see if the dealer would be willing to a... | |
| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black Guys, it keeps breaking in and getting sweeter and sweeter. I changed back to my Niagara balanced interconnect and the detail opened up in a huge way. I also have a much sweeter sound with that added silver in the path. I eventually will try to g... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Ok. Time me to move back to the original thread. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD "But I see no reason to give credence to vague statements (teenager? Does a couple of things well?) that don't square up with those of very experienced listeners I know and trust, not to mention my own and the general consensus of experts around t... | |
| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black Bob, i knew they would be. I'm SOOOO happy. I told you I wanted them in a good home. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD So Matt, I see a DaVinci mk 1 on Audiogon for only 15k. Wow. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Wardl, sorry to have upset you over my post. As I always say we all hear differently and I trust what I hear when I audition. I've been doing it for a long long time as have many others. As Matt said, it's hard to go off of reviews. I know thi... | |
| Speaker recommendation for married couple What a thread. Yes, you need to go listen. Your wife most probably does have much better hearing than you do. If you want a full range sound with a warmer mid, most of the speakers that folks are mentioning probably don't fit that bill IMHO. Y... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD That can happen in all digital systems. I have heard the DAVE in my own as well as two others and have heard the same thing. No coherency. I asked another very well known and respected DAC designer about the DAVE and he said that it does a few ... | |
| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black Once I get better light in the room, I'll take the picture. I broke my phone and lost all that I had so I need to start fresh. They have so much metallic flake in the paint, that it's amazing when I put the LED lighting directly on them. It's a... | |
| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black The OLED's are another story, lol. That's what I would purchase if I was looking today. No questions about it and that's another reason the plasma's are gone.I have a hard time not gawking at the speakers as they are so beautiful. I LOVED the w... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Everything you have said about the DAVE is what I too have heard. I could never relax into the music when it was in the system. This is why I went with the QX5/20. It has layers and is more musical for me. It's coherent. Matt, you know how we... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Intersting. As much as the Dave isn't my taste, I have never found it harsh. If anything, it's the polar opposite to me as well as anyone else I've ever spoken with who has heard one. Very interesting. As much as you love your Yggy, it's honest... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD What? | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Yup, but again, this thread is about the best DAC's and the Codex and Yiggy aren't in that discussion as Matt's thrown out before. last note and I'll join a new thread if you start it, those DAC's sound pretty different to most folks who have hea... |
