| VMPS speakers--Who has had great success in bringing their VMPS speakers to new heights? I never heard the ones Patrick made, BUT...I doubt they sound as good as the real VMPS RM series speakers.Bob | |
| VMPS speakers--Who has had great success in bringing their VMPS speakers to new heights? That’s terrible! Sorry to hear that. I’ve bought several pairs of VMPS speakers, many of which were owned by the first owner who had an issue with a part of one speaker. I believe I was able to buy 2 different pairs of very well upgraded RM40’s, o... | |
| Poor value vs snake oil... This may be THE most useless thread to date. Either way, who cares? | |
| Manufacturers with Excellent customer service I will also add Jeff Smith at Silversmith Audio as he went to great lengths to allow me to try his new speaker cables. He even made a second pair of adapters to allow biwiring to my speakers and got it out to me in 2 days while making it. Always... | |
| Manufacturers with Excellent customer service Dan Wright at Modwright will go way beyond the normal call of duty to make his customers happy. I didn’t even buy the MW CD player from him and he continually let me in about a new trade in he had coming in to see if I wanted to get it at a vastly... | |
| Newbie help - Building a system from scratch I agree with MC on the Double Impacts. Not a lot of WAF to them, however. I'd have to go with the Audible Illusions 3A preamp with MM phono section. I had one of the AI 2D's for 18 years and then the AI 3A w/ MC phono section for another 6-7 ye... | |
| Low profile CC speaker that is good sounding Thanks soix. My wife just doesn't care about the sound. I DO! That's most likely why she doesn't care. If I did this, I would probably start looking for a sub replacement of equal quality for replace the Paradigm sub I bought new 18 years ago.... | |
| Low profile CC speaker that is good sounding Soix,I agree with you about the sound not being as good in a cabinet, but the look is also important to my wife and I in the family room. She watches the TV most of the day so the speakers better not intrude on the look of the area too much. I C... | |
| Hopelessly Confused Is the $1195 mentioned in your original post the high limit of what you want to spend? That would be helpful to give you more guidance. I don't think I'm the one to do that, however. I just don't know that area all that well to give you recomme... | |
| Looking for a speaker cable with a relaxed sound. Two cables come to mind that I’ve used or at least tried out in my system: Cerious Technologies Graphene Matrix or Clarity Cables Organic. In my system, the CCO’s were the absolute best I’ve had--almost all other cables will sound thin by comparis... | |
| How long is the break-in time for a Sophia Electric Blue 6SN7 tube? Thanks everyone for your information--much appreciated. I may just start turning things off between sessions. I've had the 3 tubes in my DUDE on other than during storms 24/7 for about 4-5 years with no drop off in performance so far. The MW 54... | |
| How long is the break-in time for a Sophia Electric Blue 6SN7 tube? At 50 hours, they are sounding even better now. Sophia said 100 hours will be the mark when they reach their best. Sue at Sophia also told me to start shutting off the Modwright player at night so the tubes last their longest. The 24/7 except f... | |
| How long is the break-in time for a Sophia Electric Blue 6SN7 tube? Hey Chuck,I have no more TC left and quite a bit of stuff to either touch up with TC or do the first time. I have made some very good changes in cables over the past couple years since applying TC. Would I be correct in that you have no more eithe... | |
| Need helpful recommendations for next two purchases Look for a used Nuforce Reference 9 SE mono amps versions 2 or 3. I had a Bryston 8B, then a better sounding Edge M6, but the mentioned Nuforce was significantly better sounding than either of those amps. Later, I had TDSS do their level 3 upgra... | |
| Good entry level cables I would recommend Speltz Anticables for the speakers. The original Anticables were about $80 for an 8 ft. pair. I had to spend a lot more to get better sound--like over $600. I tired a couple cables that listed for over $1400 and still preferre... |
