| Aragon 8008x5 with Vandersteen 2w @jwmorris The WX2 I lent you was from a Vandy 2w sub from about 20 years ago (serial # 4K). So, if you found it stable, then something went wonky with the one you have. Perhaps Johnny or Mr. V. could provide some info?I was going to call Johnny R ... | |
| Happy Thanksgiving Yup, we have it good here in the US, now if only we could get more people to exercise their right to vote... | |
| Black Friday steals Zu Audio has a Black Friday sale going on... | |
| Streamer/DAC and LCD TV I have found the Bluesound app to be a bit fussy at times. Just today, I had to reconfigure my wireless connection for a Node that I haven't used in a while.Have you upgraded to the latest version? I just had one today.Probably the best people to ... | |
| Not much discussion around MBL Any Agon'ers in the NYC area with MBL speakers that would mind offering an audition to a fellow Agon'er?I am dying to hear them.Bob | |
| More effecient speakers? @simao I would give Johnny's (audioconnection) suggestion a try. He has a lot of experience setting up systems, and his knowledge of your equipment shows he has a grasp of what you are looking for.Bob | |
| Preamp upgrade over Ayre Codex Of course, Ayre makes some nice preamps, though SS.I am thinking of getting one myself.Bob | |
| Preamp upgrade over Ayre Codex I think I recall one of the designers at PS Audio saying that a preamp actually helps in sound reproduction.In any case, I would ask Ayre (you might have to call a couple of times, as they are sometimes slow to respond).I probably should try to us... | |
| Ayre QB9 or Schiit Gungir Multibit Actually, I would get an Ayre Codex.A Schiit Gungnir Multibit or Yggy would be as close to the Ayre performance-wise.The Ayre QB9 would smoke a Gungy-which is no slouch, I think the Yggy would give it a run for the money, IMHO.I have owned the Sch... | |
| Error on Ayre QB 9 (DSD) I, too, initially had problems contacting them. I eventually got someone who apologized and said that calling back a few times is good as they are busy doing things most of the time. So, I would keep trying.B | |
| Vandersteen Treo CT vs Mag 3.7i speakers As the buyer of ctsooner's Treo's, and a Vandy fanboy, I feel ct's post spot on. If I had more room Maggie's would be a speaker I would consider, but you would still need the services of a good sub-like the Vandy 2w/q, to get the full measure of s... | |
| Looking to upgrade from NHT 2.0 Speakers For new, a pair of Zu Omen Bookshelves.For used, a pair of Vandersteen VLR's.B | |
| Bluesound Vault 2 now or wait for CES2018? If you have a good DAC, you can buy a used Node 1 vault, and bypass the Bluesound DAC.I got my Node 1 on Ebay and use an Ayre Codex for the DAC. You get all the Bluesound functionality and the higher resolution of the outboard DAC.Bob | |
| Vandersteen fans..need your input (TREO CT) @nycjlee, Did Johnny set up your speakers? If so, why not give him a call and get his take on this? He'd have good knowledge of your room and could make suggestions that would apply to your room directly.As you might remember, I have the non-CT Tr... | |
| wet blankets, CSNY and what a difference a DAC makes @jimspov, With an integrated, I don't know if you can take advantage of the Vandy sub, as it requires a pre out and amp in. I only make the suggestion because the Vandy 1's really benefit from a little more bass from a sub-heck, even my old 3a sig... |
