| van den Hul Colibri - Recondition or leave it alone - how to reach vdH Contact John McGuirk at info@myaudioshield.com. He’s the distributor for van den Hul. Van den Hul customer service has greatly improved since the Bluebird days. | |
| Zavfino Glad to hear Zavfino took care of you with the broken fitting. | |
| Correct ear alignment Got a feeling ears aren’t the only orifices aligned there. | |
| How to tame a bright system? If the unpleasantness appeared with the AQ Fire why don’t you get something else that’s not harsh? | |
| Tannoy Stirlings on the way! Question: Are any of you using the 3rd binding post? If so, did you find 3-wire speaker cables, or are you using a separate wire? Do you find it actually gives your Tannoys a quieter background? Higher end van den Hul speaker cables were designe... | |
| Audioquest Firebird Zero I owned the Thunderbird Zeros for a couple of years. They are miles ahead of what the Silversmith Fideliums will do for you. I had the Fideliums at home for a couple of weeks. They weren’t that great. Nice bass, huge loss of high end detail with t... | |
| SPL (Sound Performance Lab) - Professional Fidelity series? I've had a new Elektor playing for about three days and I have to say that it's startlingly good. I had idea what my equipment was capable of. In the immortal words of Dr. Channard, "And to think...I hesitated." | |

| Speaker cable recommendations for Pass Labs INT-250 & Dynaudio HS All Van den Hul. Mountain interconnects, Cumulus speaker cables, and Mainsstream and Mainsserver power cables. I tried several brands of interconnects first and couldn't find any that sounded any better than the vdH Orchids I was replacing. The o... | |
| Speaker cable recommendations for Pass Labs INT-250 & Dynaudio HS You can have home trials of the Silversmith and Zavfino cables. I'd definitely try them first if I were you. I had the Silversmith Fideliums for a couple of weeks and sent them back. They lost too much detail and space for me. I also bought five Z... | |
| $39K for the Linn Klimax DAC/streamer? Don’t worry. They’ll provide an upgrade plan. | |
| A pitch too High! https://www.stereonet.com/forums/topic/241765-clearaudio-concept-antiskate-adjustment/Maybe this will help. |
