| Right Angle Adapters Thanks Al.As always, you provide great information.From what I see, the 90 degree angle is either up or down. I was hoping to get something that went right or left, but I think I will give them a try nonetheless.Bob | |
| Room placement for Vandersteen Treo CT At the top of the page is the Title with a Dropdown tab. Click it and you will see an option for Virtual Systems.B | |
| Looking for speaker recommendations You chose well with the Vandy 2ce's. I would not consider them 'directional'. When properly set up, they are one of the most transparent speakers for the money. Did you follow the set up for the Vandersteen speakers?I won't disparage Ohm's, I real... | |
| Audioquest Slate biwire vs Audioquest GBC single wire A set if AQ GO-4 used should be close to your target price. If you can wait, check Hifi Shark. If not check Hifi Shark for the Slate.Bob | |
| Where to put one's best power cords?? John Rutan at Audioconnection recommends putting the best cable on the source- For me, my Ayre Codex DAC.I have some AQ Thunder due to arrive shortly.B | |
| Room placement for Vandersteen Treo CT You've gotten some good advice, so far.I will second/third having Johnny's opinion regarding placement.For me, my Treo's are in a rather unusual spot- at near the middle of two rooms (roughly 18x11, speakers at 9 feet in along the long wall and ab... | |
| Sirius XM Buying Pandora Unfortunately, both have rather low fidelity.When Sirius and XM combined, I hoped it would offer a wider music range, but it turned out to be the opposite.I let my subscription expire years ago.B | |

| Any comments on my Ayre AX-7e vs Ayre EX-8 vs Simaudio Moon 340i Integrated Amplifiers In my opinion, I would get the EX-8 with DAC, as I believe Ayre will offer the best they can in their new offering. Of course, I would also contact them directly and get their take on this.The Codex (I own 2) is a very special DAC. I think it comp... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers @OP,I can understand your reluctance regarding used speakers, but since gettting back in the game after a 25 year hiatus, just about all my equipment has been bought used-including speakers. And, I have never had an issue with damaged equipment. J... | |
| Help me pick from my sub-$1200 shortlist +1,2,3 for Vandersteen, especially if buying used, you will be below your target budget.VLR’s are $1350 new, Model 1’s are usually under $800 used and Model 2’s used are near your budget top.If you have a separate amp and preamp, you can insert a ... | |
| Music Server - The Search Begins @uberwaltz, +1Bluesound really came out with great products, and their customer service is top notch.B | |
| Tidal not working on mac mini I concur, Tidal customer support is wanting. But, on the bright side, Quobuz should be coming soon. I think I will be cancelling my subscription anyway, as their catalog is impossible to divine for classical music. $20 bucks a month and I really d... |
