| Amps I Like Wow, a lot happened since my last post.@erik_squires ,Thanks for the great description of the two amps.I agree, Ayre has a certain 'something', and I believe Ralph is correct in naming the Zero Feedback circuitry as being implicit for that sound q... | |
| How to A/B Test Power Cables & Interconnects? If the OP could have a second person switch cables so he isn't able to know what has been switched, might be a way to A/B.B | |
| Amps I Like I'd be interested in your thoughts comparing Ayre and D'Agostino.I own the former, but have never heard the latter.Bob | |
| Bi-Wire Cable Question - Can They Be Used As Standard Speaker Cables Without A Problem? I would just stack the two spade ends to the banana adapter and plug them in.If the wire is from a company like Audioquest, you can have the cables re-terminated for not much money.Bob | |

| Vandersteen 1 in the nearfield, for rock music? @dave123456 ,Given what you have just reported, can we get a list of your equipment?I won't say Vandy's are for everyone, but when someone posts their speakers sounding 'muffled, and etched', I have to think something upstream is at fault- unless ... | |

With subs, they would be superb. I have heard Rogue amps paired with Vandy's and was very impressed.And, as Noble pointed out, room... | |
| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss @erik_squires ,Interesting thread. I haven't had a chance to listen to Pass amps, yet. Though they certainly seem to be highly regarded.Perhaps, one day...Bob | |
| I am Looking for That Elusive 3 Dimensional Room Filling Soundstage Vandersteen VLR's, though the CT version is a bit out your budget.I use mine in a 10x10x8 room. Bob | |
| Atma-sphere Updates Ditto.Bob | |
| Streaming.... Net Radio to Stereo System Bluesound if you want to save some cash, though a high end DAC would be advised.Aurender with an Ayre Codex really blew me away. Though it only streams Quobuz and Tidal.For the most bang for the buck, Bluesound with an Ayre Codex will give you as ... | |
| Vandersteen 2WQ Subs and ARC Power amp @stringreen,Were you using their spikes or the gliders under the Vandy spikes?Bob | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load If you want a gutless amp then look for a speaker to suit, they in most cases won’t be designed like the ones above. @georgehifi I ask you to provide a list of amps that have guts. I request this, despite it possibly being beneath your dignity... |
