| Speaker Help @dpm2340 ,The Vandy subs work with crossovers-M5-hp or fixed impedance, they allow the amp to run more efficiently as well as offer a seamless transition between the main speakers and subs.I own both a pair of 2w and 2wq's. I don't think you will ... | |
| Speaker Help Perhaps a pair of Vandersteen VLR's and 2wq subs. That is, if you like the Vandy sound- Small footprint and not hard on the wallet. Even a pair of 1ci's and 2wq subs would be a pretty sweet speaker system.B | |
| Core Power Technologies How do you contact Mark's grandson?B | |
| Deleted Threads by Admin?? @cleeds Well put. Faith by its very nature stands on its own It reminds me of a question put to Joseph Campbell, when asked if he believed in a personal God. Barney Fife Principle of "Nip it in the Bud." Ahh, memories...Hopefully, this doesn't... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? Call me a fool (and, many have), but I think there has never been an attempt to steal from those who bought CPT products. CPT had a great reputation with the Equi-Core.At worst, it was poor management/over-optimistic hopes. Poor health certainly d... | |
| Core Power Technologies I am a little disappointed with the way things have turned out.Mark, to his credit, did ship what I ordered, but I wanted the Deep Cores, and returned the Equi Core 300's for credit.I probably should have kept them.Oh well, hindsight is 20/20.Hope... | |
| Laufer Teknik Memory Player 64 - I've Finally Found What I've Been Looking For! @willgolf, I know someone who might be interested. PM me.@sumo and OP,I just put in an order for a Mini. Sam is getting it ready.Bob | |
| Suggestions for Modifying/Upgrading my system I would try to visit as many dealers as I could and audition speakers.Like, m-db said, I think you could do better speaker wise.I own a pair of DNA-1 monoblocks-just upgraded by SMcAudio, as well as a RLD-1. They worked very well with Vandersteen ... | |
| Ayre <--> Parasound <--> Pass : where are you? @tomic601 I have heard similar reports regarding Ayre amps and 'upgraded' power cords. One fellow said it is probably the zero feedback design. Who knows, but it seems that Ayre sound reproduction is not affected by changing power cords (or, it do... | |
| Spotify vs other streaming services @ubwerwaltz, that is exactly the problem I am running into. And, as you say, customer service is lacking. I dropped Deezer before the trial ended.@mahler123. I forgot to mention that I am using the Bluesound App. Primephonic is supposed to be sup... | |
| Tidal streaming and classical music I can find what I am looking for on Tidal only if I have the listing on Spotify to copy. Needless to say, I use Spotify for most of my listening, despite the 'low rez' output.B | |
| Seeking informed advice on speaker acquisition (Vandersteen vs. OHM Walsh) @audionoobie, Nice post and it describes what I meant by 'direct/reflecting' of the Ohm's. I really like the sound, but I think the Vandy's do it better.If you aren't hearing subtleties in your music, I would consider changing your amp and preamp.... | |
| Speaker Connectors: Banana Plug conversion adaptor to spades I use these:https://www.amazon.com/Cardas-Premium-Speaker-Adapter-Connectors/dp/B00SG3Z922/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&am...They work well and fit snug on the banana.Hopefully, they fit on your termination.B | |
| Spotify vs other streaming services I, too, am waiting for Quobuz. They, and Primephonic seem to be taking their time coming to the US. Perhaps it is a product of the current political climate.I tried Deezer, but it never played properly.I pay for both Spotify and Tidal, but Spotify... | |
| 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 |
