| Why do I see more Vandersteen model 3s vs model 2s for sale? I will defer to Johnny (audioconnection), as he knows these speakers inside out. True, the 3a sigs will need more power than the 2's, but if powered properly, will give you more bass than the 2's.I had the 3a sigs with a pair of 2w subs, and it wa... | |
| Question on McCormack MLD preamp Call Pat or Steve at SMc Audio. They can give you the best info, as well as information on upgrading.I have my MicroLineDrive there for upgrading, as I write.- As well as a pair of Micro Power Drives being converted to monoblocks.Bob | |
| Why do I see more Vandersteen model 3s vs model 2s for sale? If I were to do it again. I would just buy a pair of used Quatro's, but being less than affluent, I would suggest buying a pair of used 2wq subs for your 2c's. That would give you 80% of a 3a sig. (Also, the 3a sig Sound Anchors stick out and make... | |
| Paypal issue beware. @tomcarr, thanks for the explanation. Czarivey's phrasing was a bit eccentric.B | |
| Paypal issue beware. @czarivey ,I don't understand what you are saying. Do you have multiple PPal accounts? How does that make it 'safer'?B | |
| New to DAC, need advice. I would consider a Schiit Gungnir or Yggy. Sorry no MQA on those, but I am not a proponent of that tech.To be more cost comparative, a Schiit Bifrost Multibit is more in line, but the other models really go way beyond the Multibit, unfortunately, ... | |
| Connecting a unbalanced output preamp to Krell FPB350 balanced amp A pair of Jensen Transformers would be my choice:http://www.jensen-transformers.com/product/db-2px/I found Jensen to be very responsive to queries. Just tell them what you want to do and they will give you the proper product- and sometimes offer a... | |
| It Looks Like Streaming May Be The Future @thepigdog ,I disagee, Spotify has a cool 'Discover' tab that has listed composers and artists that I never would have discovered without it.I often use Spotify to discover albums and search Tidal to see if they have a highrez version, usually it ... | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III One of the reasons I switched to the Treo's is the Sound Anchors on the 3a sigs made them so hard to position in my crowded room. If they kept the same footprint as the speaker, instead of extending backward, things would have been less complicate... | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III Oh nuts, looks like the sale is off or sold.B | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III @OP, I think you can get a pair of 3a sigs for around $2k plus shipping, unless they are very recent iterations- Mr. V. constantly upgrades, so a more recent pair should command a higher price.Though I have no experience with Tekton or Klipsch, I ... | |
| Future of cables? That's why I don't own Mac products.B | |
| Analog playback on computer. @chakster ,Yes, there are many great LP recordings that haven't been digitized. (I bought a few that I need to send to get converted).Though I must admit that what is now offered on Spotify is much greater than anything I could have imagined. I ha... | |
| Bi wire, bi speaker/amp I would opt for two pair of Audioquest cables. Something like a GO-4 or Rocket 88, which aren't to expensive-even new. Just connect both sets to the amp(piggybacked) and run one set to one pair of speaker terminals and the other to the 2nd set.You... | |
| best bi-wire cables for ref75se/vandersteen 2ci Vandersteen and AQ seem to be well matched. Audioconnection swears by them.B |
