Best hub like apple TV or Airport express etc to use for home with multiple stereo systems
Look at Bluesound. Great products, great price, great customer service.B 
Any opinions on the Audioquest CV-8 Speaker Cable?
AQ CV-8 if I recall correctly is one of the lower end on the AQ spectrum.I haven't used CV-8, but have used Rockefeller, which is a couple of notches up the ladder, but somewhat long in the tooth. I find it to be very nice with my Vandy Treo's. I ... 
Connecting a unbalanced output preamp to Krell FPB350 balanced amp
As I said, call Jensen. They have great customer service. When I contacted them, I got a fast response to all my questions and even a discount on the regular price.B  
Why do I see more Vandersteen model 3s vs model 2s for sale?
@bstat, I think Mr. V. and dealers like John Rutan understand that not all of us can afford to buy new.When I had some questions and called Vandersteen, Mr. V. called back the next day to offer guidance. He even called back the following day to se... 
Why do I see more Vandersteen model 3s vs model 2s for sale?
@mr_m ,If you are in the NY/NJ area, perhaps we can meet at Johnny's place this summer. I am getting a small group together when things slow down for me.@czarivey , Though I wouldn't characterize the 5a's as slow, they are massive and I like to my... 
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...
