| Newbie looking for amplifier advice I wouldn't run the Aurelic over a Codex. Night and day sound wise. I have heard the Altair a bunch as two of the dealers I frequent run them. One has Ayre and we have done side by sides and not one person has chosen the Altair. Go get a cheap st... | |
| Newbie looking for amplifier advice Andy, get in touch with Johnny as he can help guide you even if you aren't buying from him. It's just who he is and he knows your speakers and gear. Honestly the new Rotel integrated amps are outstanding as are the affordable NAD gear. I agree a... | |
| Any Vandersteen 7 Owners in SFO Bay Area ? Yes there is a difference in the mids and highs. Just a bit more refined, spacious and airy. Even less distortion. I hear the difference, but like anything in this range, it's incremental and not WOW. Just want to make sure you know that you h... | |
| Newbie looking for amplifier advice Guys, I"ve heard that Belles and I'm very familiar with Parasound as well a lot of the integrateds in this range and the Belles is very special. I wonder why folks worry so much about watt's. They are a nice measurement, however current is also ... | |
| Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale? Interesting thread to say the least. I'm so surprised that folks aren't mentioning Vandersteen 7 mk 2's in their discussion of high end speakers of the highest level. I've heard most of the speakers in this thread in folks homes as I've never be... | |
| Any Vandersteen 7 Owners in SFO Bay Area ? Tom, I never got a PM. I don't even see a place to look for it. email me at ctsooner@alumni.ou.edu thanks. Also, anyone who wants a pretty set of Treo's that I got from Johnny, let me know as I'm moving on up to the Quatro's. lol | |
| Any Vandersteen 7 Owners in SFO Bay Area ? Thanks Johnny. Many of us feel the same way about the 7 mk2's. They are just so special IMHO and outperform the Wilson XLF's and the top Radiho's (spelling) that I've heard. It's just special speaker and Johnny is as good a dealer as you will ... | |
| Need help from Vandy 3A owners..... LMAO. Tom, I have MS and sometime cognitive issues, lol. So take away...Richard is correct and Johnny at AC is a great dealer ;)....oh and the Vandersteen speakers sound great. | |
| Any Vandersteen 7 Owners in SFO Bay Area ? Tom, yes you have what I consider the best speakers I've ever heard as I"ve heard them so many times in so many room and with so many different amps, but they always shine. I hope OP get's a chance to get down to Socal this weekend. Please call f... | |
| Need help from Vandy 3A owners..... Guys, we are all friends with Johnny, lol. Got the Treo's I"m selling from him. I really want to upgrade to the Quatro's. Need to sell the Treo's first, but I'm ready. | |
| Any Vandersteen 7 Owners in SFO Bay Area ? They used to have one in Walnut Creek. They probably will in the future though as they are starting to grow again. Randy at Optimal in Santa Monica has the 7's on the floor I believe. I know that Bruce in San Diego has the 7's as well as it's m... | |
| Need help from Vandy 3A owners..... If Richard told you the age based on the info you gave him, he's most probably correct. Richard's gruff to some, but honest as the day is long. He has no need to lie and it's just not in his DNA. I don't understand the problem as Richard's answ... | |
| Any Vandersteen 7 Owners in SFO Bay Area ? I'll ask around as many of we Vandy owners are in touch on other forums. Seattle is nice this time of the year as is LA, lol. You have great speakers, but I do hope you get to hear the 7 mk 2's. They are one of the most special speakers I've h... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thanks to another audio friend out in Portland, I've decided to get an optical converter and have an electrician run lines for ethernet into my audio loft. Going with the PS 1 LPS and a commercial converter I believe it is. I still need to switc... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, I totally agree. The big problem I personally see with most folks room treatments is that they go too far. Often when they get advice from the treatment company themselves, their rooms become very deadened and unrealistic in the reverse. ... |
