Are Von Schweikert VR-2s worth auditioning?
Certainly enough positive responses here about the VR2s, but I could not resist to add just one more recommendation because I believe these are truly a special product. Regarding placement and the "floating ball of sound" described in the manual. ... 
Audio Research CD-1 vs Rega Planet original
I know this is an older thread but I recently picked up a Audio Research CD-1. The Rega vs the Audio Research CD-1 is a no contest. I demo'ed both units and the CD-1 is far superior. Greater resolution without glare, superb well defined bass and a... 
Warranties - Best & Worst - New & Used
Both my McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe and Audio Research CD-1 were bought used here on Audiogon. In both cases I called the companies to inquire about service or updates on pre-owned gear prior to purchasing the items. This is my final checkpoint before ... 
Favourite Guitar CDs
Ronnie Earl....I can't believe that he has not been mentioned yet. I think it was Bigkidz who pointed him out to me on a similar post I had some time ago. Thanks for that one Bigkidz! I now have three of his CDs and all are played regularly. My fa... 
Experience with Vonschweikert VR2 or Logan Aeon i?
Not sure if your still looking, but for what it's worth about 2 months ago I was in the same situation. I was hooked by the sound of the Magnepan 1.6QRs which I actually preferred to the Aeon i's. To make sure I exhausted all possibilities I kept ... 
Magnapan vs. Von Schweikert
For what it's worth I just concluded a search for speakers and was torn between the 1.6 QRs and the B&W Nautilus 805s...that was until I heard the Von Schweikert VR2s. In the under $3000 range, a few $35000 speakers too, the VR2s are the best ...

It's been a while since I started this post and I have made several CD purchases based on suggestions posted. I must say of the ones purchased so far (Kenny Wayne Shepard, John Lee Hooker and Ronnie Earl) I am hooked on Ronnie Earl. I now have two... 
Review: Harman Kardon Signature 2.1 Multichamp
I agree, I originally purchased this amp for a home theater set up some time ago. After making the switch to a two channel set up I intended to sell it for money towards a two channel amp. Keeping the Sig 2.1 on hand for comparisons against Adcom ... 
Jazz/blues guitarist suggestions for SRV fan.
Went out and got Ronnie Earl's latest all instrumental album, forgot the name. He is certainly talented and I love the album. I am going to pick up some more of his albums since I like his style. Got a Kenny Wayne Shepard disc too, again forgot th... 
Jazz/blues guitarist suggestions for SRV fan.
This is great! Thanks for all the suggestions. I am going to make up a list from this thread, do some research and pick up a couple CDs over the weekend. I'll let you all know how it goes. 
Bi Amping... worth it?
I gave up trying to find some "high-end" y-adaptors for my RCAs. I went ahead and bought the Monster Y-adaptors just to try them out thinking I would upgrade later. I am currently using Wireworld Atlantis III+ interconnects to the y-adaptors from ... 
Bi-amping w/multi-channel amp...
Thanks. Just wondering why there is never too much mention of this. I found some splitters at a local car stereo shop for $10.00. People spend hundreds on interconnects and then split them with $10 splitters!? 
Krell or Classe Integrated for Sonus Faber Concert
Of course it is more costly but...hearing the Concertos with a McCormack RLD-1/DNA 225 combo with AQ Coral and Granite wiring was simply fantastic.
