| Magnepan 20.7's & Tube Amp @kalali,Funny, but I take the word of manufacturers before practitioners. First, they have more experience. Second, why would they lie?With regards to speaker cables, it just makes sense that a short run will be better than a long run, when you lo... | |
| Fix for Bluesound Node 2 and Powernode 2 wireless connection and drop-out problems... I use ethernet from my PC to my office rig and wireless to my main rig downstairs.I really can't say if there is a difference, as I never tried the reverse. What I can say is that is sounds pretty good despite being a wireless signal. This is usin... | |
| Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofers with M5-HP crossovers - help needed Yup, 2012 batteries are probably kaput. Don't they have the expiration year written on them? All the ones I have, have a date written in magic marker, so no question when to replace.B | |
| Whole House Mains Wiring -- Ping: Jea48 (Jim) -- & ALL Others for your HELP! Nice post Mrmb. | |
| Bi Wiring for speakers question Buying 4 separate cables would be the best way, in my opinion.AQ cables are awesome. I too have the GO -4. Great value for the money.Is there a reason for using the banana's instead of spades?B | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo I know that there were a pair of Ayre Monoblocks for sale in France last year with 220 volt, so they are out there. B | |
| Speaker Upgrade I bought Ctsooner's Treo's and am a Vandy fanb.....A Vandy fan, too.Your Yamaha should have more than enough power for a pair of VLR's or 1ci's. With a sub, you should be good to go, though I always suggest a Vandersteen 2w or 2wq sub.Though you m... | |
| Best Speakers with a DNA-1? Also remember that buying the most recent issue of the Vandersteen line is best, as Mr. V. constantly upgrades models as they are produced.B | |
| Best Speakers with a DNA-1? Steve McCormack still upgrades the McCormack line. In fact, if you can find a broken DNA, he will upgrade it to your specs at a very reasonable price.He made my DNA-1 monoblocks last year. They sound superb.Regarding the Vandies, I suggest contact... | |
| Fix for Bluesound Node 2 and Powernode 2 wireless connection and drop-out problems... I went with a Netgear wireless transformer that allowed me to use a 5ghz connection instead of 2.5. Much less traffic on that band and no signal dropouts.\B | |
| Rythmik subwoofer Maggies also do well with Vandersteen subs. They are a bit more, but integrate well and are built like tanks. My 2w's must be almost 30 years old and still work.B | |
| Upgraded to Tidal today @whitestix ,Now isn't it nice not to have to get up and change the record?Just kidding...In any case, Tidal does offer HQ sound, but I feel their catalog inferior to Spotify. Unfortunately, Spotify isn't offering HQ streaming. It isn't bad, but ju... | |
| Bi Wiring for speakers question Yes, you have the connection pattern correct.And, yes, it does make a difference. Richard Vandersteen makes his floorstanders with biwire connections. Essentially, you are directly providing a signal to the upper range drivers separately from the ... | |
| How much difference between new/refurbished amps and amps that need more than a tuneup? With time, any amp design will be altered as new or better parts are introduced. And as Stereo 5 points out, your 2550 is much older. Whether it needs new caps or repair, I don't know, but I would bet that the newer amp has upgraded parts that wil... | |
| Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofers with M5-HP crossovers - help needed @mr_m , We aren't putting words in you mouth/text in your post.We just recognize Mr. V's personality.B |
