New Von Schweikert VR SR4 mk11 Cream or Crap ???
Audioblazer. Perhaps you could use your current cable on the mid/tweet which is most sensitive to nuance, and borrow a cheaper cable for the bass and see what you think. The silver VHP Guerilla cable I mentioned was $899 for a 3 meter pair with a ... 
New Von Schweikert VR SR4 mk11 Cream or Crap ???
audioblazer, I immediately dropped the data link in favor of biwiring as the company recommends. I used Guerrilla Audio silver cable on the bass and copper on the mid/tweet. If you are still using your datalink you are in for the pleasure of a dra... 
New Von Schweikert VR SR4 mk11 Cream or Crap ???
Audioblazer - Yes, there is definitely a difference in what I was told at the factory and the written description in terms of degree of performance improvement. I think that the marketing department got a hold of that one :). I am sure that there ...

At 40 hours, it is no longer subtle - the preamp is developing a gorgeous sound - details later. Thank you all for recommending that I give the AH a listen.

My unit has about 20 hours on it now. I am listening through the balanced outputs. I am also using solid state amp Aragon 8008Bbb and wanting to experiment with tubes for the first time. This is a very preliminary impression. The AH pre in black i...

RalphCast - I too have a empty hole marked chasis ground. I can only assume it is for later when Joseph has developed his phone stage which is in the works. But if you find out let us knowJoe

Just received my unit this afternoon and set it up. Had a hum using RCA output with none using balanced outputs, called and Victor and Joseph responded immediately with recommended fix to close the ground. I will listen for first time this evening... 
Audiophile movie
Thanks everyone. The link msgarth cites brings you right to the movie. I think it is a "must see" for everyone on a'gon. To me the film is very touching. The quote "the speakers dont disapear, I disapear and there is only music" is very grasshoper... 
best or craziest speakers' design..
JeffThank you so much for the link. I just emailed it to my wife and she will never again object to any speaker I consider, being so grateful that I didn't buy those:) She probably will start praying that we never win the lottery just so I could n...

Bill - that will be an interesting comparison with the CJ reputation for sound that appeals long-term. I think sometimes it is too easy with new equipment to be amazed at all the new stuff heard (partly becauase we are listening so carefully) then...
