| Selling a mostly complete setup A package sale would be easier if local, but to get the best price for you gear, selling separately would be the way to go.B | |
| Speaker Recommendations - from Vandersteen 5As Ahh, now that seems like something- not the best situation, but at least a reason for the sound discrepancy. And, like I said, you seem to be a very capable person, so tracing the problem should be easy.BTW, how can I listen to the components you ... | |
| Looking for a good full range floor stander @cleeds ,I wouldn't say sales people were poorly educated, but my decades of experience with NYC dealers made me cringe, that is until I met John Rutan at Audioconnection.Unfortunately, those cringe-worthy sales people seem to be alumni of another... | |
| What were some of your early Hi-End audio gear/influences? Oh I forgot the DQ-10's.They were pretty sweet.Unfortunately, I had no money then...B | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? @calloway ,I would be glad to oblige.The Deep Cores are supposed to be inserted before the Equi Cores.So, I will do just that, and let you know.B | |
| Speaker Recommendations - from Vandersteen 5As @kren0006,Thanks for posting.I will keep an eye out for Spendor.Bob | |
| Speaker Recommendations - from Vandersteen 5As @bigkidz .I looked at your system, but see you are using your own (hand built) equipment, and since I don't know how it sounds, it is something I can't comment upon.- Though I would sure be interested in listening to it.😉I never heard of the NY ... | |

| Looking for a good full range floor stander As the OP has amps that offer 600 wpc., I think speaker efficiency will not be a limiting factor unless the speaker has a nasty impedance dip.Most here on Audiogon know of my love for Vandersteen- which Audiotroy doesn't carry. The Quatros's and a... | |
| What were some of your early Hi-End audio gear/influences? Sad to say, but when I heard Bose in college, I was hooked on hifi.Let's see. I know I had a pair of AR speakers that were small bookshelf speaker/monitors that had an unusual shape- the outer edges were tapered. I also ran another pair of bookshe... | |
| Speaker Recommendations - from Vandersteen 5As @bigkidz ,I’m on Long Island. Let’s make a date. I know for a fact there is a good pizza place just down the road.-though Rutt’s Hut isn’t far either.I haven't heard of GT Audio until now. I will try to listen to a pair.As you have listed your equ... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? I got an email from Wally providing Tracking numbers for my Deep Cores, as well.B | |
| Opinions of GoldenEar Triton 1 As a dealer we can freely post, and as mentioned we are supposed to list that we are dealers.But, you do it with an eye for making a sale. Or, at least, that is how it comes across...B | |
| magnepanLRS or 1.7i ? If you have the space, it makes sense to go with the larger Maggies.The new LRS will definitely need some subs. The larger Maggie would benefit from a sub or two, as well, like the Vandy 2wq, which has the benefit of relieving the amp from the hea... | |
| Speaker Recommendations - from Vandersteen 5As As you are in the NY area, I would contact Audioconnection for a demo of ProAc. Similar to Vandy's but with a British sound that may be closer to what you are looking for.And, if midrange is your fav, have you thought about electrostatics?To be fa... |
