| Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofers with M5-HP crossovers - help needed @drew_k ,I think Johnny would be the best person to ask. You can PM him if you want.Bob | |
| Mccormack dna-1 protection problem That is great to hear.-I should try to brush up on my soldering. I haven't held an iron since Junior High School, but I was pretty good when I did.Bob | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs Thanks for the link bstat. I was a little disappointed in the design of the subs. They seem a bit stark, but I guess after looking at the 2wq's for so long, any change would be unsettling. The good news is that they are a bit more compact (17x20x2... | |
| Just got ruined by a pair of Treo CTs @douglas_schroeder ,But, you have to admit the Vandersteen line is very well priced, considering how much quality sound they put out.B | |
| Leave preamp on all day, off at night Tubes should warm up in an hour or so.So, I would turn everything off when done for the day.B | |
| Just got ruined by a pair of Treo CTs @OP, I am glad you like the new Vandie's. They really are a leap ahead of the 2's and 3's.I know the Treo CT's are really super, but I bought ctsooners, Treo's (non-CT), and have no qualms. If I could afford the CT's I would do it in a heartbeat.M... | |

| Best place to get an old solid state amp fixed up? I contacted PS Audio about looking at my old 4.5 preamp. They said it was too old and parts were not available.Still it wouldn't hurt to call...Bob | |
| Fraud Alert: Audio Zoom Zoom, Netherlands Not to beat a dead horse...When I was trading watches, I always had the seller provide references before wiring funds.Sorry this has happened to you.B | |
| To Finish modding or not I owned the GFA 555 Mk1 for decades. A truly great amp.Musical Designs does great work with Adcom's and I would think the $1500 would be well spent.Before doing so, be sure to tell them you other equipment and speakers so that they know what will ... | |
| Fraud Alert: Audio Zoom Zoom, Netherlands Very nice looking website. Seems like they should be legit, but then again, you never know.I would try to contact authorities in the Netherlands via the Internet.Was it a wire transfer or through a CC?Bob | |
| Replacing my Krell FPB 600 amp with a tube amp Atma-Sphere should be on your list.B | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs I, too, have an issue with my McCormack DNA-1 monoblocks, in that they have pretty low impedance-like yours.Using balanced, I can only get to 22Kohms. And, I think going lower would be beneficial. So, either I go to unbalanced or have SMc Audio re... | |
| Adcom Gia 555ii amp and gfp 565 preamp I have to say my unmodded 555 (mk 1) sounded pretty good compared to my modded DNA-1. Mr. Pass really knows how to make 'em.Bob |
