| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Yes it's always is about system matching so I can understand part of your thoughts. I do find it strange as I have heard vinyl and digital on some incredible systems that were put together with system matching as the key ingredient and vinyl has ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I have a great digital set up at home, but my vinyl is better in many areas as I've posted. I know others in this thread who also love their vinyl still. When you clean your records with ultra sound and then vacuum, it usually takes out all the g... | |
| Feedback on Ayre and Aesthetix with Vandersteen 5As Yes it has ten tubes. It does however sound better than nearly any other pre I've heard and I love the three in puts and remote control to change bias and gain or input from my chair, lol. Great company with even better customer service. | |
| What makes an expensive speaker expensive Lot's of ideas and in the end every company is very different. Many companies are not that expensive to make, but they are large structures and priced accordingly. Some give you a LOT of high quality components and hand made drivers with tons of... | |
| Vandersteen 2xx - 100,000 units? The number is much north of that I'm sure. Isn't that number a few years old? | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Fully aware of vinyl and it's limitations. some of the top phono amps take all the equalization curves into play and are adjustable. I have a top preamp as well as a top DAC or at least very good. I do love my digital, but Vinyl for some reason... | |
| New Vandersteen oil cooled hybrid amplifiers I get that you think it's bizarre. Not knocking you on that and I hope it didn't come across that way. it's just novel technology and thinking outside the box. I bet others will eventually try the same although the patent may hold them back. T... | |
| Vandersteen 2xx - 100,000 units? Thanks for sharing Johnny. They really are nice looking compared to some of the other huge boxes out there, lol. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Not to get off track, but do you guys still play vinyl? I got my Rhea up and working with my Basis TT and Benz Glider cart yesterday. Cleaned the albums nicely and got the static off. Honestly, it's still been better than digital by a hair. I ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thanks for the feedback. Is there a link to the dealer as well as the DAC? I'm lazy i guess, lol...thanks. | |
| New Vandersteen oil cooled hybrid amplifiers Stewart, I assume that you heard them with only a couple of folks in the room while sitting in the middle seat at the shows as well as at the dealer? Sorry, but it's bizarre to me that folks can make any decisions on how components sound from lis... | |
| Vandersteen 2xx - 100,000 units? He showed them in Newport this past week. You can see the pics when you see his room set up. Forget which site had it. | |
| Vandersteen Treo in 24ftx22ft i.e 528sqft room? Old thread, but they keep showing up when I make other posts, lol. First off I do have Treo's. I think I still have decent hearing, lol. I auditioned the 3's vs the Treo's. It wasn't close for me. The three's go deeper, but not with the qualit... | |
| New Vandersteen oil cooled hybrid amplifiers I just saw this old thread and laughed. I just got done hearing the production amps with mk2 7's a couple of weekends ago at Audio Connection. Doug Gordon from ARC, Garth Powell and Steve from AQ were also in attendance. WE all had a great time ... | |
| Vandersteen 2xx - 100,000 units? Glad you like the speakers. That's a special speaker for the price. Richard won't ever make a monitor. More than a few reasons, but you need bass to feel music and get that emotion. I had gone the monitor route in the past and was never fully h... |
