| Think I blew a driver on my Vandersteens 5A Thanks Zargon. I may start there, seems pretty painless. I have extra speaker cables to try, and will recheck the pre>amp IC connection. I do have another IC which I could try there as well. | |
| Think I blew a driver on my Vandersteens 5A Stingreen, I will flip the speaker cable from the left speakerto the right, but may just start w/ running the CDP direct. I would like to just eliminate the preamp, and isolate it to the amp or speakers. Tom, also a great suggestion. I did not thi... | |
| darTZeel NHB-18NS Tim, I have the Phi 300.1 with the Vandersteen 5A's and love the sound. I have heard the 300.1 w/ Magico V3's, and it was very impressive. As you said, soul. I am using the Messenger full function preamp, and also like it very much. I would say lo... | |

| Attention Messenger Preamp Owners... I am just guessing here, I did speak with Elliot a few weeks ago though. There is an updated volume control,which my 1 year old unit does not have. Elliot said the new one has fewer steps. He did not mention an increase in gain in the upgraded mk ... | |
| Attention Messenger Preamp Owners... My Messenger is a mk 1 I believe. Was there a Mk 2 then. Mine sounds so good as is. I would also encourage... to take a listen to this preamp. | |
| Vandersteen 5A You can't be that far away from a Vandy premier dealer. If you are ever in the Albany area, you are welcome to hear mine. I won't sell them to you though. | |
| best loudspeakers for full Gryphon system The Rockport has been paired with the Gryphon with great success, although I have only heard Gryphon preamp and digital with the Antare's. I have heard the Rockport on a few occasion's, and it is a great speaker. Clearly the one for me if I could ... | |
| Tube Options with Verity Tamino I also love the Verity's. I have heard all their offeringsexcept the Sarastro and the Tamino. I would seriously consider a Vac 30/30. I think with the impedance of the Tamino being min. 6.4, you should be in good shape. I heardthe Vac 30/70 on the... | |
| VAC 300.1 compared to VTL 450 Mk II or similar I cannot be a leader here. The Vac 300.1 was much better than my previous model VTL 750 Ref's. I used the VTL single ended, which may be against the majority as far as getting the best out of the VTL. It was not close though. The VTL was just not ... | |

| Short report on EAR Acute CD player I went from an original Capitole 2 to the Acute. They are both fantastic sounding units. The Capitole 2 may have had better bass, although system changes prohibit me being confident there. The Capitole 2 a bit more detailed, up front presentation ... | |
| Vandersteen 5A room placment options Thanks for all the helpful info. I did a bit of measuring, and these are the #'s. Room: L: 23'4" W: 12'4" H: 8 feet standard. Speakers 36" or 3.0 feet from side walls (center driver). Speakers are spread apart 76" or 6' 4". Closer than I would lik... | |
| Vandersteen 5A room placment options Mrjstark, That's my thought exactly. I think I may be just looking for feedback, so I can put the idea to rest. Nice looking room, looks as if you are getting the most out of it. What are the dimensions, and what type of room treatments are you us... | |
