| Fixing woofer, should I replicate actions on matching speaker woofer too? Repairing rubber surrounds on older woofers is pretty common.Had I know years ago, I wouldn't have thrown out my old Tamanton's...In any case, I think replacing both surrounds makes sense, as they will degrade with time.As far as the interior wiri... | |
| New Speaker Conundrum - Vandy's, Spendors, Salk, Ascend - Mainstream or ID Ribbon tweeters never worked for me.Since you like the Vandy's I would stay with them.The ProAc are very good, and if I were in a pinch, I would get them, but the Treo's with subs or the Quatro's are much better in my opinion.Bob | |
| 30 Amplifiers Totaling $428,740.00 In Search of Audio Nirvana Mmmm, Mbl. 😍Bob | |
| Recommended speaker for second system Vandy VLR's. They should be placed near corners (like a bookshelf speaker) for bass reinforcement.I use them in my office with a pair of HSU subs and a pair of McCormack Micro amps and preamp. Even without subs, they go pretty low.PM me for detail... | |
| Which to Upgrade first? My Amplifier or Speakers I find this one a 'toughie' as both components are top notch pieces of equipment.For me, if I love the Maggie sound (and I do), I would keep them.The Mac amp has plenty of power and perhaps another amp might yield a different sound, but I would su... | |

| Manufacturer Repaired Dropped Integrated Amplifier - Should I Be Concerned? If the manufacturer signs off on the repair, I don't see any reason to doubt it will function as new.If the unit sustained cosmetic damage that wasn't repaired, only then would I ask for a discount.Bob | |
| Upgraded Atma-Sphere MA-1 from 3.0 to 3.3 PM-ed you.B | |
| Upgraded Atma-Sphere MA-1 from 3.0 to 3.3 I just traded in my MP-3 for a MP-1 only because my Ayre KX-R bested it.If I were you, I would keep an eye out for a used MP-1. That way you'll never have to upgrade again.Bob | |
| Audioquest vs. Others I just auditioned some of the newest AQ cables- with some very high prices, and can say that they are unbelievably great.In my opinion, AQ prices their cables realistically with regard to their capabilities. That being said, as you work your way t... | |
| Broken hearted...magnepan and vandersteen I am moving to the Sub 3's,If anyone is interested in buying a nice pair of Black/Black 2wq's, PM me.Bob | |

| Recommendations for high quality Streaming Audio: I concur with big greg,I also own 2 Nodes (original version). And, they perform flawlessly and still upgrade. The onboard DAC is pretty good for the money, but if you are serious, you can buy a higher quality DAC and still use the Nodes.The only o... | |
| Should I defrag my 1.5 TB HDD BEFORE transfering files to a SSD? OR... Defrag is only to wipe out the unnecessary bits and allow the drive to perform more efficiently.If you want to have a faster download, then defrag, but I doubt it will make a significant difference.B |
