| Which amp for Vandersteen 3As? Thanks for the tips, Bob.....from the responses so far, it looks like the 3As will sound good with most amps, but will perform best with modded versions. I'll probably look into having the DNA-125 upgraded since that is the best all-round amp I ow... | |
| Which amp for Vandersteen 3As? That leads me toward the B&K 200.7, which even though it is a multi-channel amp, sounds very good in stereo mode. It can seem a little forward at times, but that may be a good thing with the 3As. It definitely has sufficient power to drive the... | |
| Which amp for Vandersteen 3As? That leads me toward the B&Ks, especially the 200.7 - it fits that general description to a T. Even though it is a multi-channel amp, it sounds very good in the stereo mode. The 3A Signatures are no doubt a superior speaker, but I am getting t... | |
| Component Stacking Question Stacking is usually done because of space considerations, at least in my case. But if I have to do it, I use a platform/bridge that I have a friend custom-make for me at little cost (usually around $50). Simple but effective. Personally, I would n... | |
| Is It Just My Imagination? You may be right about the dynamic range compression setting because the problem seems to happen when the program material goes from either very loud to soft or vice versa. And I may have been mistaken by saying it is just the center channel that ... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. I own three RTR's, two are Teacs, one is the Akai GX-636. I enjoy the process of threading the tape (I worked in computers years ago when tape drives were commonplace), and the sound to me is still preferable in many aspects to some formats (FM fo... | |
| "You cannot handle the truth" Marketing is all about making you dissatisfied with what you have (i.e., the new, improved Tide!) and as a group, us audiophiles are prime candidates to buy into their spiel. Don't get me wrong....I enjoy getting new gear just as much as the next ... | |
| Does anyone play two pairs of speakers at the same time? I run several 2-channel systems and have multiple speakers in two of them that I listen to simultaneously (the speakers, not the systems). My favorite actually has three sets of speakers....ADS L-570s, an ancient pair of Genesis Physics 1s, and a ... | |

| Mixing XLR/RCA Outputs on Marantz AV-8801 Possible? Boy, do I feel dumb (maybe?)…..I loaded my B&K 200.7 amp into the rear of my CRV and positioned it sideways, with the binding-posts facing to the right. Since I'm right-handed, and because I'm OCD, I tested each binding post to see if it was s... | |
| Mixing XLR/RCA Outputs on Marantz AV-8801 Possible? Thanks for the responses...in the meantime I found a neat XLR to RCA cable by Seismic Audio that will let me make the connection to the PS Audio 2-channel amp. That should put things back on solid footing, I hope. | |
| Do you listen to equipment or music. I heard my first real stereo system while serving in Vietnam in 1971 and have been hooked ever since. Maybe not surprisingly, my preference runs toward gear from the 70s era when I want to listen to music and not be concerned with the equipment. B... | |

| Oppo Ceasing production I think the combination of 4K and streaming services are the major culprits in Oppo's decision to jump ship. The price jump from DVDs to Blu-Rays years ago was somewhat of a shock, but there was still growth potential there. With the price of most... |
