| What is your source for discovering new music? I am a VMPS speaker owner/agent since buying the speakers and have many listeners over to hear them. They bring their music, much of which is both excellent sounding and good music. I then go on Amazon.com and order them up on cd. Also, I ask the ... | |
| Whom to invite to a Powercord shootout party Check out Lessloss original (about 350-400 used) and Wywires Juice II (329 new). Both are excellent in every way and the more cables used, the better the sound. | |
| Need help with Jazz Check out Dianne Reeves--she's been the award winning jazz vocalist many times over.Quiet in the StormGo on Amazon.com and check out her music. The recordings are excellent--great clarity, dynamic, punchy bass. | |
| $2500 speaker threshold Man, all I can say is for that money you could get an upgraded VMPS 626R with a VMPS sub if you buy used, or the VMPS RM2 new. Either one is a great sounding speaker. Dynamics and clarity with excellent defined base and magnificent mids and highs,... | |
| Budget Strategies forTightening up Bass? As for your speaker cables, I've tried many and settled on Speltz anticables, even over cables that list for over $1200.00. There is a clarity, and open clean window on the sound that is beautiful and incisive on VMPS speakers. Can't comment on ot... | |
| What CDP gets really close to vinyl? Check out any Modwright Sony or Denon player. They come up used on Agon quite a bit because everyone wants the latest and greatest player. It's as close to vinyl as I've heard. I've owned the Modwright 9000 and currently until it craps out someday... | |
| Differences Between Esoteric SACD Players Hey Teeshot, Check out a Modwright 9100 or 5400 Sony with the separate tube power supply, listen, smile and pocket the extra change to later buy more music. I'll bet you the sound is every bit as good or better for a whole lot less money. Dan Wrig... | |
| Adding Sub to current system Look into either a 215 or larger VMPS sub. They are totally adjustable to your room/system and can be bought with amp, with outboard amp, or without amp. I have the 215/with VSS upgraded driver and the bass blends with very quick speakers so that ... | |
| Where to go after Polk LSI15's If you want great sound in areas, adjustability to any room to get that great sound, VMPS 626Rs (monitors) with auricaps and sound deadening. VMPS RM30s, or VMPS RM40s (both of these are floor standing). All have a similar sound, transparent, live... | |
| VPI motor popping noise upon startup/shut off Techexec44, It's been about 2 years now. I'd tell you the exact one if I could--but that short term memory thing is holding me back. It wasn't a better capacitor, just one of a different value than their standard issue. Call Harry at VPI--he'll te... | |
| VPI motor popping noise upon startup/shut off I've done the fix. Call Harry Weisberg at VPI and he'll guide you through it. You need to go to Radio Shack and get a different capacitor (.06 vs. what's in there--the exact value I don't remember). It requires you to take off the long plate under... | |
| Subwoofer question Look into VMPS--larger sub, or OMG (Oh My God) upgraded driver and passive radiator. Can be had new for under $1000.00. Adjustable to blend with any speakers so it's undetectable that you have a sub, until that OMG moment when the power and clarit... | |
| Help me choose a new sub If you're spending 500-600.00, look into VMPS subs--awesome sound, not for the money, just awesome sound--deep, powerful, clarity, no boom, adjustable to any room to get great sound. They will also blend with very fast speakers and be unnoticable ... | |
| how to pick a preamp? I have an Audible Illusions 2c tube preamp that recently had ceramic tube sockets put in by Art Ferris at AI. It has kept me happy for 20 years. Occasionally you'll see one pop up on Agon for about 400-500. With a good solid state amp like you hav... | |
| For a boomy room, what panels will reduce mid-bass I have Real Traps minis and the 2' X 4' panels tighten up the bass when put diagonally in the corners behind the speakers. In my room, the corners behind the listener don't seem to have much effect. The minis do not screw up the mids and highs eit... |
