| Classical Music for Aficionados Horowitz really had it, but each major pianist had their own individual forte, be it technical virtuosity or interpretation.Kind of like how Art Tatum, James P. Johnson and Fats Waller could play stride, but each had an individual approach.B | |
| Vandersteen 5 Oh nuts, 10K is really low and I believe the Balanced crossovers only go to 20K ohms. (Oddly, I am in the same situation with my DNA-1's). I think you may have to move to either an unbalanced M5-HP in order to get to 5 or 10K ohms.I would first tr... | |
| Mccormack DNA-225 platinum Did you ask about the impedance output?You need that to set the M5-HP's,And, I think you got a great deal. As far as the actual worth, that is another matter. Usually, even though it may have cost the original owner $3K+ to upgrade, the actual res... | |

| Vandersteen 5 As you are on the West Coast, why not contact Vandersteen directly?If you call in, Mr. V will call you back the following day. Just have all your questions ready, as he can be a bit abrupt.You can also ask John Rutan (his Audiogon name is audiocon... | |
| Vandersteen 5a carbon vs 5a I believe there are other issues than just installing the new Carbon Tweeters that make it a no go.I own the Treo's and would really like to upgrade to CT, but it isn't in the cards.B | |
| BE VERY CAREFUL OF YOUR DEALINGS ON AUDIO-ASYLUM I guess the OP is hiding in shame.It would be nice if he offered Lee an apology.B | |
| Bluesound Vault gen1 MQA I believe that it is the app that is controlling sound and output, so the unit itself has little to do with MQA.Of course, contacting Bluesound directly would be the most accurate way to gain the proper information. And, I have to say they really ... | |
| NETGEAR Powerline Adapter 2000 Mbps Can you reverse the situation-unplug the other speaker and see if the hum is gone?It sounds like one speaker may have a ground fault.B | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? Looks like I am out of luck, regarding my Deep Cores and cables.It really makes trusting people very difficult these days.B | |
| power cables with drains Your first question sounds like an ’Almarg' or ’Atmasphere’ question’.Those 2 guys know electrical stuff way beyond most mortals.And, they are nice people, too.As for the second question regarding lifting cables, some believe it helps isolate the ... | |

| Vandersteen TREO CT's with Pass Labs XA60.8 Like I said, ask John Rutan or Mr. V. (he returns calls the next day).B | |
| Vandersteen TREO CT's with Pass Labs XA60.8 Looking at the specs, it shouldn't be a problem. 60wpc is on the low side, but Vandy's aren't a hard speaker to drive, unless you want to fill a concert hall room. And, no I haven't heard this combo.When in doubt, contact Mr. V., or John Rutan at ... | |
| Thoughts on wireless subwoofer. I can commiserate about trying to hook up a pair of speakers and subs on the A7xe. Those binding posts make adding 2 pairs of cables a bit of work, but, it can be done.B |
