| Transparent Musicwave Super speaker cables, 12 ft length @ebm , the Audiogon webpage system has a nasty habit of not informing the poster that it has accepted the post, hence the double post, and no way of deleting the duplicate.@OP, you probably don't want to coil the speaker cables, as it could introd... | |
| What are some of the downsides of owning a Magneplanar .7 or 1.7i ? It looks like we scared off the OP.B | |
| Vandersteen 2Ci - Bi-wire cable question Definitely biwire them. The difference is subtle, but noticable.B | |
| Vandersteen 2Ci - Bi-wire cable question You didn't mention what brand cables you are picking up.B | |
| Tidal free trial subscription @audiblez33, I would subscribe to Spotify, if I were you. Spotify has a much better catalog, but if you only like current music, the Tidal would be your 'cuppa'.FWIW, Spotify might be offering higher definition in the near future. Some members hav... | |
| Audioquest @OP, you might be surprised at how much a set of cables can influence sound.But, if you like what you are hearing, then by all means, let things rest for a while. This whole upgrade process can sometimes lead to madness.Let us know what you are us... | |
| Best Subwoofer To Use With A Two Way Speaker System Ahem, cough, cough, didn't I recommend the Vandies first?No problemo, I am glad you are considering them. Unless you have some weird amp, they are sub that seamlessly integrates with you speakers.B | |
| Best Subwoofer To Use With A Two Way Speaker System It would help to know what your other equipment is in order to determine what would be a good fit.But, lacking that info, I would heartily recommend a pair of Vandersteen 2w, or 2wq subs and crossovers. They are by far the best integrating subs I ... | |
| suggestions for Windows 10 software please, , laptop to USB DAC, AIFF files, remote app Hey, OP, how did you like Jriver?Bob | |
| Ayre QB-9 or Metrum Hex? Definitely, a Codex. It must be the best value between price and sound.B | |
| Requesting Advice on Speaker Upgrade @Bomd, you still did great. I have never heard Kirksaeter, but knowing how serious German's take technology, I can only assume that they sound pretty good, probably very good.And, indoctrinating children with well reproduced music is a great way f... | |
| Requesting Advice on Speaker Upgrade Wow, $100 bucks for a near $2k speaker? You really did score.The Stereophile review gave them a pretty good rec. Perhaps you should think about getting some subs in the future? They would be useful if you ever got the Quads, Maggies or Vandy's dow... | |
| Requesting Advice on Speaker Upgrade You've gotten lots of great info. @bomd, are there any Vandy dealers near you? It would behoove you to give them a listen. Quad's and Maggie's are both fine speakers. If I weren't a Vandy fanboy, I would have them in my listening room, but since I... | |
| Bose 901 Series ii Yes, I agree with roberjerman, a pair of Vandy's would be a move upwards. I only mentioned the McCormack's should you want to keep the Bose.I remember the 901's. They had a nice openness, but, as you said neither great highs or lows. A pair of Van... | |
| Bose 901 Series ii I would say to first upgrade your preamp, then your amp.Those 901's suck a lot of juice. A good inexpensive route would be McCormack. A used RLD-1 and DNA-225 should give you more punch. The nice part is that Steve McCormack is still providing upg... |
