| Bi Wiring for speakers question @will62 ,You do know you can get some Banana to spade convertors?I use these when I have to. https://www.amazon.com/CARDAS-Premium-Speaker-Adapter-Connectors/dp/B00SG3Z922Reading you post, I think this is what you are looking for:https://www.amazo... | |
| Would I be crazy to swap B&W 800 series for Klipsch RP series? (804S VS RP-260F) @tomic601 ,The OP will probably get a better price by selling here or US Audio, in my opinion.B | |
| Transparent Musicwave Super speaker cables, 12 ft length @oldschool,Everything you change will make a difference. Whether it is positive change, or worth it monetarily, is the rub.I notice you have a lot of AQ cables. Is there any reason why you are using the Transparent?Bob | |
| Stereo Subwoofer Pairing I hate to hijack the tread, but noble's post has me scratching my head.How do you hook up 3 or more subs to a stereo amp?I have 2 2wq's and stack spades on the amp, but when you go to 3 subs, how do you connect them? Or, are you using a HT amp?Bob | |
| Would I be crazy to swap B&W 800 series for Klipsch RP series? (804S VS RP-260F) Emig, you can get an idea of prices by looking at Hifi Shark's sold listings.As far as speakers, I have heard B&W's and like their sound. The Klipsh are loved by many, though I haven't listened to them since the 70's and they were the huge Cor... | |
| Bi Wiring for speakers question +1 Hifiman. Keep it simple Will. The AQ GO 4 is a reasonably priced cable and should not cost a fortune to do a true biwire. Just try to keep the lengths equal and as short as practically possible. And, add a little wiggle room for minor adjustmen... | |
| Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofers with M5-HP crossovers - help needed @bondmanp That's good to hear. Was the packaging damaged on the amps when you received them?-Like somebody dropped it?If you don't go the double box route, at least have him get some triple wall cardboard boxes. Those Home Depot double wall boxes ... | |
| Best Speakers with a DNA-1? @ctsooner ,I think I will consider something like what you described. Now that I am basically using streaming to listen to music, I really don't need a full preamp.Does this Memory Player allow you to use it a DAC, in addition to CD player?B | |
| Best Speakers with a DNA-1? @ctsooner ,Why do you need/want the LSA? I haven't heard about these before.And, I think 'McCormicks' might be an ethnic slur. ;) B | |
| What other streaming services do you recommend besides Tidal? I use Tidal and Spotify. I really don't notice a significant difference, but Tidal is a bit cleaner sounding. I like Spotify because it has a super inclusive catalog (Tidal is more for contemporary music), and it has an easier interface for findin... | |
| Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofers with M5-HP crossovers - help needed Hmm, do you think it is worth it? Will the repair cost that much?Knowing how these things play out, I bet UPS will blame the amp builder for not packaging correctly. Though I never had an issue of a box being so roughly treated that the internals ... | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Tomic, you are one lucky guy.-Retired and owning the M-7 amps. Sheesh...Bob ;) | |
| Best Speakers with a DNA-1? @offnon57 ,I live on Long Island, too. I suggest contacting John Rutan at Audioconnection(his name here on Agon, too).He sells Vadersteen and is knowledgeable and a great guy to boot.He is in Verona, NJ which isn't too far from the GWB. If you tim... | |

| Weakest link? Hmm, a toughie.I think both the Schiit preamp and the KEF speakers would be candidates for upgrade.BTW, I love Schiit products. If anything, get one of their DAC's, like a Gungnir or Yggy. Though you could get by with an Ayre Codex, which will do ... |
