| Vandersteen Treo CT @bigkidz .I am hitting my busy season now, but from July to Sept., I can meet up.Bob | |
| Thiel CS3.6 and PrimaLuna A pair of Vandersteen 1's and 2wq subs would be my choice for replacing the Theil's.The subs should be coming down in price soon due to the introduction of the new Sub 3.B | |
| How much is MQA conversion? Tidal does offer different resolutions for the same album in some of the more popular recordings. You kind of have to dig around, though.B | |
| Power amp/integrated amp suggestions for SUPER POWER HUNGRY/INEFFICIENT SPEAKERS I don't see a preamp out on the Lyr, so I don't think so.B | |
| Let's talk power cords Having Ralph call someone a troll is like Mother Theresa uttering an F bomb.At least in my honest opinion...And, Elizabeth is more than that. She's a lady. (not in a chauvinistic way ;)) B | |
| Recommended Speaker List for Atma-Sphere OTL Amplifiers. @gwng8, I hope Ralph (atmasphere) responds. If not, you can always PM him.I own a pair of MA-1's and have found them to be the most remarkable amps providing unmatched sonics as well as reliable, trouble free performance.Go to his website, he has... | |
| Streamer vs computer? What I was trying to say is that the Bluesound DAC, while being good for the price, could be improved upon with an external DAC. Whether MQA sounds better through the Bluesound, I cannot say.If it does, then it seems MQA is doing something that ca... | |
| Vandersteen 2CE Signature II: Is it worth the price of $2700?

I would not expect Vandersteen to discount existing stock. And,... | |
| DAC's....Ayre versus PS Audio The Codex might be a better choice.B | |
| Vandersteen 2CE Signature II: Is it worth the price of $2700? Why are so many for sale? @bstatmeister,I believe it has a built in equalizer so it will be much like the 5's and 7's. John Rutan would have the specifics. I also suspect it will have a higher price tag. I would wait, when it comes out, I'll bet prices come down on the 2wq.B | |
| Streaming Unfortunately, not as complete as Spotify. | |
| In need of some Amplifier advice. Is therereally any point in it with my current setup? @OP, that is definitely not a dealer you want to deal with.If you can make some time available, take a day or weekend and contact a few dealers in Dallas. Make sure they can accommodate you (if they can't, scratch them). Tell them you are listenin... | |
| Streamer vs computer? @cheeg,I have listened to the Bluesound Node DAC and compared it directly with the Ayre Codex when I was at Audioconnection. The Bluesound DAC was good, but throught the Codex, it was way better. Mind you, this was with non MQA music, but I can't ... | |
| Vandersteen 2CE Signature II: Is it worth the price of $2700? Why are so many for sale? @noises,Check out HifiShark.You can get a good idea of prices from sold items as well as find items for sale.B | |
