| Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT Setup Questions That is great to hear. I probably should have John Rutan set up my Treo's. (But, I hate to have him see my placement- there is only one place for them in my room).Bob | |
| Flaws in this chain? I would try to connect the Modi wired to the MacBookPro and eliminate the Apple TV. Is there a reason you have to do that?B | |
| DAC Confusion The nice part about the Bluesound equipment is that you can add you own DAC.I have the original Node and use an Ayre Codex for a DAC. The sound is much better than the Node DAC.B | |
| AtmaSphere + Ayre @bigboltz, Nope, just the basic Treo's-from Ctsooner. Too bad I can't have Vandersteen upgrade them.To be honest, I really find myself often wondering how they could sound 'better'. I also use a pair of 2wq subs, which rounds out the bass nicely.I... | |
| AtmaSphere + Ayre @bigboltz,Yup, I have both Ralph's MA-1's and the MXR (non twenty amps). Using the MP-3.3 with my Treo's, I find it to be a very good match. I'm still waiting for a KXR (non twenty) to come up for sale.Bob | |
| Lenth of XLR Cables Why not get a Node?B | |
| Using Tidal Exclusive to MQA DAC unfold or PC unfold to 49kHz/24bit then to MQA DAC If I remember correctly, Tidal offers only a partial unfolding of the MQA algorithm.But, if you have a MQA compatible DAC, it should do the unfolding for you without need for a PC/Mac.B | |
| Tidal Hifi has a very limited jazz selection Some of the problem is that Tidal's catalog requires assiduous effort to find the albums one is looking for. You practically have to type the whole title, and then hope it is available.B | |
| Spotify vs other streaming services @samzx12 ,Streaming quality does matter and getting as high a resolution output would be my priority.Like jl35 says, your equipment should do well, but it needs the best information to perform.Though Tidal has high rez output, I find the catalog t... | |
| My Amp is Broken - Not Sure What to Do - Any Recommendations? +1 @Bigboltz,-1 @ glowwormIf anyone finds Vandy's 'warm' or 'not articulate' aren't using the right equipment, or haven't set them up correctly.Bob | |
| Pre-Amp Shootout Update Great review!Thanks.Bob | |
| DCM QED @roberjerman, I remember Ampzilla. I didn't know he had a son@OP, DCM is one of the speakers I still remember from my early forays into hifi stereos. They and Vandersteen are etched into my mind.B | |
| Magnepan 20.7 + Pair of Vandersteen Sub 3 + AR Ref6 This great to hear.Now you got me thinking about an upgrade from my 2wq's- which I can move my office and sell the old 2w's. Hmmm...Did you have subs before?Bob | |
| My Amp is Broken - Not Sure What to Do - Any Recommendations? OMG, elizabeth agreed with Atmasphere! | |
| My Amp is Broken - Not Sure What to Do - Any Recommendations? Vandy 3a sigs should not have caused the amp to overheat, unless you were really driving them towards clipping.I have no experience with Audio Research, but I suggest you contact John Rutan at Audioconnection. He is a member here (audioconnection)... |
