| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). @ctsooner , @ricred1 ,Thank you, thank you, thank you.I will give the Thunder a try. I am currently using a bunch of Zu Audio power cables. I find them very neutral, but I know AQ really makes a great product and want to give them a try.Bob | |
| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). @ctsooner and @chargerfan ,What are your opinions regarding the lesser Thunder model?My pockets aren't quite as deep....Bob | |
| A way to listen to a large collection I have for the most part abandoned my CD's.Spotify, and to a lesser extent, Tidal (mostly due to their abysmal cataloging system), has exposed me to more composers I never knew of.The 'Discover' tab usually offers something I would never have clic... | |
| Ayre Parasound Pass : where are you? A lot would depend upon the speakers being driven.For me, using Vandersteen speakers, Ayre seems to be the best choice.I haven't had any experience with Class D amps- though I would be interested in trying.Pass would seem to be a better choice for... | |
| Seeking informed advice on speaker acquisition (Vandersteen vs. OHM Walsh) @arturos,Thanks for clarifying your listening habits.In my experience, Vandy's are very good even with off center listening.Like you, I don't want to be held in a vice. My chair is literally in front of the left speaker, but I still get a very nic... | |
| New Speakers up to $15k - The more I read the less I know! I concur with CTsooner. Congrats, enjoy and let us know how you fare.B | |
| Seeking informed advice on speaker acquisition (Vandersteen vs. OHM Walsh) I am a Vandy owner and a bit of a fanboy. I also like the sound of Ohm speakers.For me, it would depend upon the situation.For critical listening and precise presentation, the Vandersteen's would be my choice.If you want a more general presentatio... | |
| Vandersteen 5a vs Genesis 5.3 ? +1 stringreen.I, too, own Vandersteen. (Just a pair of Treo's), and I swear by the Vandersteen sound. I heard them in the late 70's and remembered them when I finally had some money to get back in the game a few years ago.They haven't disappointed... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT Setup Questions It looks like Utra Fidelis is in your state (I don't know how close they are to you...).I would give them a call and see if they can give set up.If they are anything like John Rutan, they will provide all necessary info.If they aren't, give Johnny... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT Setup Questions Your dealer should provide set up. I know Johnny at Audioconnection does.@hifiman5 We seem to share the same setup. Though I only have lowly non-CT Treo's, thanks to Ctsooner.;)B | |
| Vandersteen VLR Wood ..any love for these? Ah nuts!I was just about to get a pair. Now, I have to decide if I need to spend $3K.Bob | |
| insurance and shipping with UPS I concur with Hifiman5,File a suit in small claims court. If they don't show up, you will win. If they do show up, present your evidence. I am not a lawyer, but I think you have sufficient claim.B | |
| Bluesound Node2 with outboard DAC I visited Audioconnection last year and Johnny was demoing the Bluesound Node/Vault for another customer. He played the onboard Bluesound DAC and then switched to an Ayre Codex. The difference was noticable-for the positive.So, Yes, using an exter... | |
| Dolby-free early stereo recordings sound best. I recall a story a few years back that more than a few film composers found Dolby to be one of the worst thing to happen to film scores.As I have posted on other threads, MQA is probably a similar variant.B | |
| Would you buy a Dahlquit-10 if one was available for purchase near you I would get them if they were in reasonable shape and priced correctly.B |
