| Wireless or not graphic drawing tablet? Wacom seems to have a tablet for just about any use.Have you considered them?B | |
| This one looks like my old love Speaker tech has evolved since the '90's.I would try to visit as many dealers as you can. There must be something in current production that can meet your needs.But, I do understand you love for the Apogee's. A very special speaker.For me, I would... | |
| Poor power in the house Well, a dedicated line to your stereo system would be a good move.I would also add a whole house surge protector to the main box. Most are sacrificial, but considering how often a huge zap happens, it is money well spent.They shouldn't be too expe... | |
| Power conditioners and wall warts Sorry for not replying sooner, but it seems others have taken up the slack.Here is another company:https://uptoneaudio.com/products/ultracap-lps-1-2Bob | |
| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). The Thunder's arrived last week and are now breaking in nicely.My only bugaboo is how stiff they are.I can't fathom how cable companies can make a product that will not bend, twist or conform to any given application.I had to buy some right angle ... | |

| Speaker recommendation I think you should try adding a pair of subs with your speakers. (Quad's, right)? I'll PM you.@mindlessminion,One of the reasons I like Vandy's is that I can sit and walk around the room and the sound is still dimensional.If fact my seat is practi... | |
| Vandersteen 5a vs Quatro ct which do you choose? I lust for the Sub-3's, but they are out of my financial league.But, to be fair, my 2wq's are no slouches with my Treo's.If the OP is buying used Treo's, it would be a great move.FWIW, buying Treo's and 2wq subs should bring you to more than 80% o... | |
| Blue Node 2 ... ??? Definitely use a high grade DAC, if you want to get the best sound output.B | |
| McCormack Micro Power Drive Amp & Micro Line Drive Preamp (Dual Mono) Yup, me!I am using them with a pair of VLR's. Steve McCormack upgraded the pre and amps just this year and it is really nice. I got them because my office is already cluttered with stuff. The speakers are mounted on the wall near the ceiling and t... | |
| Blue Node 2 ... ??? +1 Maritime.I own the original Nodes and use an Ayre Codex as DAC.The Nodes work as they should and the outboard DAC enhances sound quality.I don't think you will be disappointed with the onboard DAC, but you can always plug in a better one, like ... | |
| Power conditioners and wall warts Great topic. I, too, would like to hear opinions.In reply, I think there are many who are replacing wall warts with Linear Power supplies, to great effect.Bob | |
| Zu Speakers upgrade I would say, Yes.I own the Mk. 2 Omen Bookshelves and they were very good speakers. (I am selling them as I change my office system).For $800, I think it will be a worthwhile investment. I used an Ayre AX-7e integrated, but really any decent amp o... | |
| New Bluesound's Node 2i Now I remember...The original Node and Node 2 didn't support 5 ghz wireless.Did that change with the 2i?Bob | |
