| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo @ja_zz Those pics don't show any thread.I would hesitate to thread your spikes into wood.+1 TomicB | |
| Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass) +3 for McCormack.Especially if you get SMcAudio's upgrades. My new DNA-1 monoblocks are smokin' hot.B | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo As far as length of bolt is concerned, it depends on how un-level your floors are. In my 100 year old house, things are definitely out of plumb. Thankfully, I didn't need to alter the spikes, so I doubt you will.If I recall, the spikes have about ... | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Can you guys please measure the gaps between the speaker bottom in front and back of the speakers and the floor? Thanks! You don't need this.If/when you put in the threaded inserts, you will thread your spike stud into it. Then, depending upon ... | |

| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo @ja_zz I just got your pics and I think I am correct. There should be a threaded insert inside the cabinet.It looks like the numbnuts previous owner over-tightened the spikes and when he removed them, he took out the inserts as well. No wonder why... | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo You mentioned that there was only wood in the place where the threads should go.I just realized that the previous owner may have removed the metal threaded inserts-Why, I don't know. If this is the case, then you need to replace them in order to m... | |
| HOW TO POSITION 2 PAIRS OF SPEAKER FOR ALTERNATE LISTENING As I said, perhaps you should make the best of the situation and give each pair of speakers the best possible placement and let it go from there. | |
| Store auditioning and then buying on-line from others. How do you feel about it ? +1 dill. Though I can understand madavid0's sentiment.When I recall the pretentious attitudes that more than a few dealers in Manhattan gave me, I too, wished them an eternal residence in a fiery pit.Thankfully, not all of them deserve such a fate.B | |
| Dac upgrade? @OP Some feel Tidal superior to Spotify due to it streaming in a higher resolution and offering MQA. FWIW, I stream both and find Tidal marginally better sound wise. YMMV.Regarding DAC's, the Schiit Bifrost Multibit is good, but a Gungnir or Yggy ... |
