| ATMA SPHERE SCHEMATIC for a UV-1 M/M....... Gosh Ralph, you are too nice.Bob | |
| Bi Wiring for speakers question @will62 ,If they look like a banana with saw teeth then I think they are called BFA banana plugs. I had them on some Transparent speaker cable and they were very brittle and prone to snapping.B | |
| Best Speakers with a DNA-1? +1 for CT.Buying used equipment can be fraught with problems, but buying something of recent production, and being able to visit the seller, help a lot in preventing unforeseen issues.Also, buying equipment from reliable manufacturers who offer up... | |
| 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 | |

| 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 |
