| How big is the sweet spot for the vandersteen quatro wood CT speakers? @OP, are you going to leave the amp on continuously?@miketuason ,If your 'sweetspot' is only 6 inches, I think you need to do some adjusting.Bob | |
| ATMA SPHERE SCHEMATIC for a UV-1 M/M....... I'll take that preamp off your hands.Bob | |
| How big is the sweet spot for the vandersteen quatro wood CT speakers? +1 for Johnny R.I have no doubt you will have it set up properly.For me, with my challenging room. I find the 'sweet spot' fairly large and 2 people can listen easily. FWIW, I like to move around and am often out of the 'sweet spot'. I like it jus... | |
| ATMA SPHERE SCHEMATIC for a UV-1 M/M....... +1 Jetter!And, it seems Ralph did try to help you. Though maybe what you are asking is proprietary.B | |
| which would you choose For your Squeezebox, you could get a good quality DAC, like an Ayre Codex for a bit more than $1k, or a Schiit Bifrost Multibit for $400 (both used).Or, you can buy a Bluesound Node or Node 2.The Bluesound has a decent (not great DAC), but it is i... | |
| Speaker Upgrade OP, any thoughts?B | |
| Component Placement @elizabeth ,Though I like having short speaker cables, 6 inches is really too short, for me. I think anything under 4-5 feet is just as good. Also, remember that some amps get mighty hot (think tubes).B | |
| Best Speakers with a DNA-1? This is where I tend to disagree with CT.Though I understand his reticence regarding 'used speakers', I haven't had any issues buying used. (In fact, I bought his speakers). As I pointed out, buying a recent iteration is a good way to get the most... | |
| Choice of Vandersteen models And, if you are like me, and want to save some cash, you can buy a pair of Treo's and 2wq subs and get 90% of a Quatro.When I got the Treo's, I didn't realize that they share a similar footprint. But, now I realize that the Quatro is a bit deeper(... | |
| Component Placement +1 noromance, and mesch.If you can run balanced interconnects, then longer distances between the preamp and source are minimized.Using sound dampeners or isolation under your components would also be a good idea.My amps are on Sound Anchor Stands.... | |
| D to A converter purchase.... The Schiit Gungy is no slouch. Very enjoyable. I was a bit of a skeptic, but going up the Schiit line offers even better resolution.Though I have no experience with Wadia. I would buy a piece of Schiit as they offer upgrades at a reasonable price.B | |
| Falling out of love with tubes Even Paul McGowen thinks preamps are necessary:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh27E7YKN9sAnd, I if I were you, I'd consider one of the Atma preamps.B | |
| How to make your first sale at agon I sold the speakers I bought on Agon a year after the fact.I didn't have any problems. Just be honest with condition and pack well.Check Hifi Shark for recent sales to price properly.We all have to start somewhere...B | |
| power cables where do I start? I forgot to mention PS Audio. They also have some older models that aren't cost prohibitive, though they are quite bulky.B | |
| Vandie .7 vs Maggie .7 Mmmm, Scotch....I prefer the Balvenie....B |
