| Vandersteen 2ce Signature and Signature 2? @daverz, I also own the VLR's.As I am using them in my office, and more like monitors (way up near the ceiling with some angle downward), I have to say they also outperform well beyond their price. Previously, I had a pair of Zu Omen Bookshelves. ... | |
| Vandersteen Treo CT Wow, I am impressed.Mr. V. really knows how to design a speaker.Even my little VLR's kick some serious butt. I can spend hours in my office and never tire of them. I guess my MX-R's and MA-1's are overkill, but after years of budget systems, I rea... | |
| Audioquest Golden Gate or Big Sur mini-to-mini cable for my car use? I also concur with streaming a high resolution signal.I can hear the difference between XM- Spotify-Tidal, easily.( The latter being the best).B | |
| Is it just me or has Quboz crashed? I just had a small hiccup a few hours ago. Streaming 'timed out', and I couldn't load new album/tracks. I could load favorites.Seems to be okay now.B | |
| Vandersteen Treo CT If I Googled correctly, the Naim Uniti Atom has 40wpc.Nice to know the Treo's can be driven by that.Bob | |
| Vandersteen 2ce Signature and Signature 2? I think Bkeske makes a good point.Despite being 'long in the tooth', Vandy's have always outperformed the competitors both in sound and price. Truly a great value.B | |
| Audioquest Golden Gate or Big Sur mini-to-mini cable for my car use? I concur with Nutella, when you count road/engine noise, I doubt you will notice much difference unless you have really sensitive hearing.Also, consider that all your cables and equipment will be subjected to heat and cold, which will also affect ... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados I use a program called Fidelizer. It doesn't cost much, but I have to say it does improve sound quality on my PC streamed music.-And, the designer offers frequent upgrades at no charge. It does something much like the O and O software Jim204 just ... | |
| Qobuz Windows App Your PC shouldn't be having issues, if you can run photoshop, Quobuz is nowhere near as demanding.I run Quobuz through Bluesound App and have no issues with hanging up (though I do have some other issues which are probably related to the Bluesound... | |
| Has anyone found a good way to listen to speakers on the used market before buying them? Just about all of the local Audiogon sellers I have purchased from allowed me to audition before I bought.- And, this is the NYC area.B | |
| Spotify navigation? Bluesound would be my first choice. But, be aware Spotify streams as lower resolution than Tidal.I really like the Spotify catalog and Discover tab, but have ended up using Quobuz as it has high resolution and a better catalog than Tidal.HTHB | |
| KLH Kendall Speakers vs Vandersteen 2CE Sigs +1 for Johnny Rutan.+2 for Vandy's.Bob | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados The first piano concerto is truly a classic and allows the soloist to show his/her stuff.The second and third never seem to capture that. Both have slow movements that border on maudlin.The second has a nice final movement, technically super diffi... | |
| subwoofer, Vandersteen 2Wq tolerance I rather doubt you would damage the Vandy subs, but when in doubt call Mr. V. and get his take on this.After leaving a voice message, I usually got a call back the following day.Bob | |
| Connecting to a Bluesound Vault 2i I would try a factory reset.I don't own the Vault, but I think it is holding down the button for 30 seconds until it changes color.You can also get support via Bluesound Website.https://support1.bluesound.com/hc/en-usThere should be a little pop u... |
