| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo The thread is there, it’s just not visible on the pics. So, can you thread your bolts into them?B | |
| Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass) @OP,SMcAudio upgrades all the old McCormack stuff. Actually Conrad Johnson still makes the McCormack.One of the least expensive ways to get a McCormack is to find a non working model and send it to SMc. They essentially remove everything and put i... | |
| Vandersteen Seminar at Audio Connection (NJ) Well, that is one reason, schubert.It mostly hinges on the fact that I think it is the silliest waste of time a grown person would be involved in, but if anyone likes it, fine.Facebook is marginally better.B | |
| Vandersteen Treo CT I will call Johnny this week and see what is a good time to have a meetup.Of course, I'll keep an eye out on the weather.For me, late morning/early afternoon would be best, as I hate traffic.B | |
