| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? Was the removed post from Mark? | |
| Vandersteen 5 @tomic601 ,what happens when the batteries go?I thought I remembered Mr. V. saying it wasn't something that would very noticeable.Bob | |
| Mccormack DNA-225 platinum As far as cabling goes, I would recommend Audioquest.AQ and Vandy just seem to work hand in hand. In fact Mr. V. uses AQ for internal wiring of his speakers, as well as the pigtails on the crossovers.Bob | |
| New power cord needed for speaker with powered subwoofer? @OP,Like I said, give your ears a chance to hear the system. I do not doubt that changing cables will affect sound, but you need to know what you have before you will notice what you are changing.B | |
| Vandersteen 5 The guy who sold you the equipment gave you some nice stuff.I say try both cables and see which one you like. And, give things time to settle in before making upgrades.-You won't be able to tell what makes a difference until you know what your sys... | |
| Mccormack DNA-225 platinum Good luck and let us know what you think.Bob | |
| Vandersteen Treo CT, Pair of Sub threes and Lyngdorf TDAI 3400 As Johnny (audioconnection) is familiar with the Lyngdorf, I would consult him before connecting a Vandy sub to it.@efoo , you have some nice equipment to play with.I would first connect the Treo's sans subwoofer and get a feel for what it can do.... | |
| New power cord needed for speaker with powered subwoofer? I am sure the manufacturer provided power cords will be sufficient. Only by trying a non-OEM cord are you going to find out. Though, to me, I think it will provide a minimal change. As long as the cable provides sufficient current to the amps in t... | |
| Vandersteen Treo CT, Pair of Sub threes and Lyngdorf TDAI 3400 +1 for John Rutan.And, you could also leave a message with Mr. V. He calls back the next day, usually.FWIW, I would have the Treo's and Sub 3's set up by a dealer like Johnny, and skip the room EQ from the Lyngorf.[Though I haven't heard the Lyngo... | |
| Speaker Cable Bi-Wire Jumper Break-in Yup, 50 hours or so, sometimes more, sometimes less, but they do sound differently after a while.B | |
| 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... |
