Apollo R + Codex v. different CDP or Ayre QX
Codex would be a great move, in my opinion, especially if you are thinking of moving to steaming music.I run the Codex with a Bluesound Node and stream Tidal and Spotify. ( I also have the Ayre AX-7e and a pair of Zu Omen Bookshelves. The Vandy Tr... 
Enhancing low frequencies for my system
OP, I would contact a Vandy dealer and have him/her check your setup.If you are near NYC, Johnny Rutan would be the man to ask.I owned the 3a sigs, and the 2w subs and while I never needed super bass, they always sounded full.Bob 
want to ditch my Brooklyn to streamer..thoughts?
If I recall the Brooklyn supports MQA decoding, so it might be better than switching to Bluesound.I own the Bluesound Nodes and like them immensely for wireless connectivity throughout my home. Though the internal DAC is good, using a better DAC-l... 
My Experience with Dave from Audio Doctor NJ
Well, if you want a second opinion, I would contact John Rutan at Audioconnection. He is in Verona, NJ. You can PM him on Agon (audioconnection).B 
Hot Dog! Fidelizer Pro! I love it!
Upgrades to Fidelizer have definitely helped. I would contact  Keetakawee about your concerns.B  
Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs
Duh, that was what I was looking at...From what Johnny wrote, I thought the 2wq was a thing of the past.B 
Hot Dog! Fidelizer Pro! I love it!
I agree Fidelizer makes a difference. I am using it with Bluesound to great effect.Bob 
Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs
They are on the website. Just click on Products and the dropdown shows subwoofers, click on that.Bob 
Subwoofer help, using two amps...
I would call Ralph directly with your question. He would be the most qualified person.FWIW, I have a pair of MA-1’s paired with MP-3.My speakers are Vandersteen Treo’s and a pair of 2wq subs.I installed the Vandy crossover between amp and pre. and... 
Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs
@noble100 , you are preaching to the choir.I have no doubt that the Swarm or Debra function as you say, but when others (ctsooner) give our opinions, it is just that, our opinions. That you feel you have a scientific basis is beside the point, and... 
Core Power Technologies
I left a message with Mark, but no response.I am hoping he/the new owners will make good on the promises he made.Bob 
Sellers and "Ambiguity" or "Integrity" of "item as described" descriptions on eBay
Good for you!It is too bad that a few bad apples spoil the Ebay.Unlike ebm, I have had only 2 bad experiences on Ebay in over 17 years (including the episode I described in a previous post).Bob 
Core Power Technologies
Thanks for posting Dan. I called Mark and left a message regarding my Deep Core's and cables.B 
Streaming Music and being able to keep them as your personel files
I think Murfie Music is what the OP is looking for.You buy or sell music you want/own. They also offer digitizing service for CD's and LP's.Bob 
Sellers and "Ambiguity" or "Integrity" of "item as described" descriptions on eBay
Like the OP, I too got tricked by an Ebay seller. Yes, the photo showed the damage, but it was not a clear photo, and it wasn't pointed out in the listing. The seller was a total a**hole, saying I didn't do my due diligence.True, perhaps. But when...
