| Is the Rockport Avior II an Endgame Speaker? If there is anything Rockport speakers do weel, it's bass response. They are bass reflex which rolls off at 24dM/octave but the designer claims and told me his speakers have a custom alignment so they roll at 12 dB/octave like a closed box. He poi... | |
| Why isn’t more detail always better? There is fidelity and there is the personal 'sounds good to me' but the latter is personal and varies with the listener. Fidelity means reproducing everything that is there. If it's on the source it should be in the listening. If it isn't that's a... | |
| Shrink Totem 1's? The bass response will end up totally screwed up with loss of extension and probably boomier mid bass. The volume of a box is not random.; It's an integral part of the bass system. Don't do it! | |
| Enough is Enough Some dealers are obviously stupid. Even if your system has problems(they all do) this dealer doesn't know how to sell or advise. And he's of no use to you. Stay away from him. Find another dealer who explains things and suggests improvements and a... | |
| B&W 705s3 vs Kef Meta R3 I've heard KEF speakers, including early KEF 50s and they don't sound the way you described them. You should at least try more auditions elsewhere if possible. | |
| Best subwoofer to pair with Vandersteen Treo CTs?? I'd go with the Vandersteen subs for a few reasons. One they are probably voiced to match Vandersteen main speakers so they'll blend better with much less color differences. Second they include the 11 band Vandersteen bass controls which will allo... | |
| Wilson Alexia 2 lacking some bass Two possibilities. One already mentioned, position in room. There are spots where base is poor or even almost doesn't exist. This is purely a factor of room dimensions and speaker position in the room. Unfortunately the position for best mids and... | |
| Is it analog or is it digital? It's unfortunate that class D amps are called class D since in audio D often stands for digital and the description of how a class D amp works(square waves) sort of sounds digital. Plus class D involves encoding albeit an analog encoding not a dig... | |
| "New" model VPI? It does have isolation in 2 forms, VPI's special isolating feet and a suspended sub chassis. | |

| "New" model VPI? I know Harry and Matt well and was around as the new table was being developed. And I recall Harry saying the new parts were designed to fit the HW-19 base. But having seen what's new that means basically just the base and the motor and pulley. | |
| "New" model VPI? I believe, but not sure, it has a detachable headshell but not a conventional bayonet style. I guess we'll find out for sure at the Capital Audio Show. I do believe they will have a version of the arm with a conventional bayonet mount. I was told ... | |
| "New" model VPI? P.S. It will be available without an arm also. | |
| "New" model VPI? I forgot to add, it's a gimble tone arm not a unipivot. | |
| "New" model VPI? Built like the proverbial brick house. Top plate and removeable arm board are about 1/4" aluminum. The sub chassis is even thicker aluminum. The table has VPI anti vibration feet and the sub chassis is isolated but stiffly. The arm is all new wit... |
