| Vandie .7 vs Maggie .7 Thanks for the thanks.I am sure the VLR's will exceed your expectations!Bob | |
| Upgrade bug - advice on amp or preamp upgrade from Ayre for Revel speakers? The Ayre Twenty series seems to have corrected what many thought to be 'bass shy' characteristics of older models.My second choice would be to change out the Transparent cables for something like Audioquest.B | |
| Vandie .7 vs Maggie .7 Nice move Otto!Usually Richard doesn't provide much info on the age of speakers, as he doesn't keep records- Which I find strange. Maybe the seller can give you an idea of how long the original owner kept them.bob | |
| mono block or bi-amps which would you pick? Mono blocks...Do you hear an echo? | |
| Amp Upgrade - Capacitors, Resistors or both? Generally speaking, capacitors should be replaced after a few decades.Resistors, I can't say.If you give your location, maybe some members can recommend an amp specialist near you.B | |
| Bluesound Gen 1 sale at Audio Advisor. True dumacker. I use the Node 1's with an Ayre Codex. I listened to both the Node 2 Dac and the Ayre. The Ayre definitely improved the sound reproduction.In essence, I only use the Bluesound for its' wireless connectivity.The only drawback to Blue... | |
| Vandie .7 vs Maggie .7 The VLR's are bookshelf speakers and I doubt will go as low as the 1ci.Though your sub should help with that.Though I haven't heard either the VLR or the KEF50, I would lean more toward the VLR or the 1ci. And, knowing how you liked the 1ci's, I t... | |
| Vandie .7 vs Maggie .7 @otto, I am glad you like the Vandy's. They really seem to do things right at a great price point.For me, I would opt for the 1ci's over a 2ce. The 1's will be easier to place and set up and also require less power, and if you want later, you can... | |
| Bluesound Gen 1 sale at Audio Advisor. Not a bad price.I bought my 2 Node (1's), on Ebay. | |
| Vandie .7 vs Maggie .7 +4 for Johnny Rutan.I know he has made systems with the 1ci and Vandy 2wq subs that were quite respectable.I, too, own a pair of HSU subs, as well as Vandy subs, and I can tell you there is no comparison. The Vandy's integrate seamlessly and unobt... | |
| Dealers hijacking the discussions Nice posts dynaquest and 213runnin.B | |
| Bluesound node 2 to usb dac I was going to recommend the Ayre Codex, and Schiit Gungnir or Yggrsil, but reading your OP, it seems you want an MQA decoding Dac.For me, I am waiting for the dust to settle before I commit money to this technology. I know some swear to MQA sound... | |
| Vandie .7 vs Maggie .7 I think Kalali said best. With your equipment the Vandy's should sound better. If you can eventually get a 2wq sub or two, you will way ahead of the game-Vandy subs use a crossover that alleviates the power demands of low frequencies on your amp. ... | |
| Shopping for Interconnects My budget pick:Zu audio, you can buy their older models at a discount on Ebay.My preferential choice:Audioquest.B |
