| Doshi Jhor 90W monoblocks If you want to try tubes, I would look at Atma-Sphere.But, if you want to try the Doshi, then you could get some rca-xlr convertors from Jensen for about $300. I spoke with Ralph (Atma-Sphere) and he said they shouldn't do much to the sound- I was... | |
| Kudo's to Miller Sound I love hearing about honest, reputable repairmen. Thanks for the info.They seem to service a wide range of speaker manufacturers, too.Bob | |
| Vandersteen 2C contour controls +- +1 for Tomcarr.The dials do not affect lower frequencies.As another poster mentioned, let the cables break in. You'd be surprised how much they might change.Bob | |
| Power Conditioner Advice please... You might want to check out Core Power Technologies. They have some products that will clean up your power.They just made a big move to another location, but a call/email to Mark would be a great start. There is a long post on Agon:https://forum.a... | |
| Proac D48R +2 congrats.I got to hear ProAc's at Audioconnection. I have to say they are a pair of speakers I would consider if I ever strayed from Vandersteen. Quads and Maggie's a close 2nd and 3rd.If I remember correctly, they were paired with Aesthetix am... | |
| Biwire Cables for Vandersteen 2CE Signatures +1 for Johnny R. I got a set of Go-4's from him. (My puppy decided the DBS packs were a new chewy toy, so I had to send them back for repair. AQ repaired them for a reasonable price).My point is that Vandy and AQ are a great match and two companie... | |
| Mid grade Integrated amp choices OP,If you do consider tubes, then an Atma-Sphere amp would be my choice. Though keep in mind tubes give off a lot of heat.I still recommend buying used and saving a ton of depreciation. I can't say I have ever had a problem that even a warranty wo... | |
| GoldenEar vs Dynaudio vs Nola vs ProAc vs Everything else. +1 for Vandersteen, and getting subs if going below the Quatro's,ProAc's are nice, too, but they have a 'European' sound, so it would behoove you to listen to them first. (-though I think they are very good).This post will probably give you much m... | |
| How important is the rack you use for your components +3 for newbee,I have my system in the LR/DR, so aesthetics and limited placement take precedent.My approach is to isolate my components as much as possible. Unfortunately, I am unable to house them in a rack, but I do use Stillpoints, Townshend po... | |
| Vandersteens, PSB or something else? stringreenVandersteen Thank You!@stewart0722 Lookup posts here on Agon regarding Maggies and Vandy sub combos.And, yes, I have heard the combination. If I had to give up my Treo's, a pair of Maggies would be my first choice.B | |
| Vandersteens, PSB or something else? +1 mr_m.In fact Vandy subs are considered an excellent pairing with Maggies.B | |
| What’s your favorite recording of Mahler’s 8th Symphony? Great recommendation. +1I managed to find a copy of Mahler's 6th that I remembered from college.It was a live recording and for the entire performance, you didn't hear a single cough.Something you couldn't do hear in the US.B | |
| Dealers hijacking the discussions @builder3, +1 | |
| Nice MQA discussion I wish I could get Qobuz. | |
| Adcom GFA-555 in Mexico on 127 volts? The GFA 555 is built like a tank. Mr. Pass did one fine job. I still have mine from the 80's. (I really need to sell it).B |
