| Another Vandersteen model 2 question Mr. V constantly upgrades his speakers as time passes, so even the same model can have different parts/sound. So, getting a more recent edition will give you slightly better reproduction than an older model. It will be noticeable but not earth-sha... | |
| Dedicated Line Noise Filter? For $750 you would be done with the problem, rather than adding another component/layer. Even better if you can buy yourself for less.Your electrician seems to be a good guy, if he lets you provide materials.Though, if you let him install the bran... | |
| Amp recommendations Perhaps a pair of Zero Auotoformers would help tame the low impedance difficulties? Then you could use just about any amp, maybe even the Mac integrated- though I would call them up and confirm.B | |
| Dedicated Line Noise Filter? @lowrider57 How expensive was the surge protector with noise filtering? It would seem to be the right way to go, in my opinion.B | |
| RI - 500 Lightning strikes per minute?!! Perhaps political commentary should be posted elsewhere, but these are strange times.B | |
| Fuses fuses fuses @atmasphere Sorry if I put words in your mouth. I appreciate that you have clarified what I thought you meant. -That was why I posted if there was a way to insure a fuse would have complete contact in a fuse holder.Bob | |
| Fuses fuses fuses @zavato I tried to warn you... are specialty fuses supplied as original equipment, and directivity. I don't fully understand the question you asked. Do you mean aftermarket fuses already installed by the manufacturer?If so, I doubt any put the... | |
| Amp recommendations ML's are nice speakers. You are going through the proper route, in my opinion. Thankfully, BestBuys didn't sell you anything else.McIntosh is also wonderful, but pricey. You can do just as well with more moderately priced equipment. Being a Vander... | |
| Fuses fuses fuses While stuck in traffic on the LIE this morning, I was wondering if there is any material or compound you could use to insure complete contact between a fuse and fuse holder? I guess you could solder it in, but reversing it would be a hassle.B | |
| Generator Power Supply--Audio Epiphany I'd be concerned with slight variations in power coming from a generator.I know computers and UPS battery backups are very sensitive to this variation.B | |
| Gungnir sound before and after multi-bit upgrade? @ghosthouse ,Thanks for posting how long it takes. I was going to upgrade, but there was a backlog. It's nice to know that when they accept the order, it goes very quickly.My only bugaboo with Schiit is that they will not comment on what makes the... | |
| Vandersteen 2Ci - Bi-wire cable question If I recall correctly, Mr. V thinks vertical biamping less satisfactory than horizontal. That is, using one amp (monoblock) per channel, as opposed to splitting the signal.B | |
| Fuses fuses fuses @geoffkait I don’t want to put words in Ralph’s mouth, either, but I’m pretty sure he’s not really on board the whole fuse directionality train. His argument is (and I suppose he could possibly be accused of fence sitting on fuse directionality) t... | |
| Magnepan upgrade @ OP,Those 3.7's are awful big, but I bet they will sound amazing. I think Zavato's comment worthwhile- maybe adding a sub(s) would give you much of what the 3.7's can do. If I recall, more than half of the planar speaker is needed for bass reprod... | |
| Fuses fuses fuses Oh, your are going to light fires, especially with that avatar ;)Re: directional fuses, I recall Ralph at Atma-Sphere mentioning something, but I forgot the details. Though I think he said there was something to it. (If I am wrong Ralph, sorry).B |
