| McCormack DNA-1 Gold or DNA-225 @mitch2 Pat ( I don't know his last name) has been my contact since I contacted SMcAudio. I don't know about Kris, but maybe he isn't on the phone as much as Pat. Some folks are better at taking calls than others.@hifiman5 Yes, I got the amps back... | |
| Vandersteen 2C contour controls +- That is great to hear. I bet when you hit 400 hours, things will be even better.Bob | |
| Magnepan 20.7's & Tube Amp I bought a pair, but haven't hooked them up yet.I am just curious as to what they can do, considering what Steve McCormack said. SMc just made me a pair of monoblock DNA-1's with the express design to outdo Ralph's MA-1's (hey, they get too hot in... | |
| Magnepan 20.7's & Tube Amp Ralph, wouldn't a set of Zero Autoformers be of help?Bob | |
| Worked Backwards and Would like to Hear Suggestions on Speakers speakers which may help with finding more clarity and high ends @roddyboy If that is what you are looking for. Then the Vandersteen Treo's, Quatro's are something you should try to audition.Bob | |
| Suggestion on XLR Cables I would contact Ralph at Atma-Sphere. He can give you great information regarding balanced cables and can provide you cables, as well, at a super price point.Bob | |
| Worked Backwards and Would like to Hear Suggestions on Speakers I would suggest you try to listen to Vandersteen, as well.Magnepan would be a second choice- and would probably be close to the Bose in terms of the diffuse sound.Bob | |
| $1000-$2000 Floor-standing speakers for larger room w/NAD 326bee @ruleof72 You do know you can buy a pair of Treo's or Quatro's used and save a lot of coin. That's what I did.Bob | |

| Step down transformer (220V to 100/110V) or buy 220V version of Shindo preamp I am confused.Do you need 220 or 110?Though I haven't done it, I think stepping down from 220 to 110 would be fine. B | |
| Aragon 8008x5 with Vandersteen 2w I have a set you can borrow.I'll PM you.Bob | |
| Aragon 8008x5 with Vandersteen 2w OP, have you corrected the problem?B | |
| Burning/breaking in new equipment? Very nice gear for a first system.All previous advice is great.If your electric rates are not too high, you can leave things on 24/7.Burn in takes some time, so just listen and enjoy your new stereo. When things come together, you will notice a su... | |
| Opening a can of worms I concur with the OP, for the most part.There comes a point of diminishing returns. For those who can afford it, then sure, buy the super high priced model. For those of us with more limited means, we have to balance what we want with what we can ... | |
| How to optimize sub integration with 2 channel? Why don't you call up or email Zu and get their take on it?From my experience, they are very communicative about their products.Bob |
