| Golden ear sub x Considering that my 2nd hand 2w's are almost 20 years old and are still working properly- I wouldn't worry about needing the warranty.I also own the HSU VTF-2 subs. They are a nice product, but not in the league of the Vandersteen's.Bob | |
| Vandersteen help needed Again, I would consult with Johnny R. for the best way to move.In my opinion, the Vandy 1's need a sub, and preferably a Vandy 2w or 2wq. If you can move up the Vandy chain, I would say to go for the Treo or Quatro's.My first move would be to chan... | |
| Subwoofers.....Leave On/Off? How can a thermostat be the cause of high power usage?Bob | |
| Vandersteen Quatro Wood II? I would suggest contacting Mr. V directly. He will return your call personally and can give you the most accurate response.Though I am a Vandy fanboy, I don't understand why Vandersteen doesn't keep records of their upgrades connected to serial nu... | |
| Subwoofer hummmmmm I am glad to hear Mr. V contacted you quickly. He really provides great service.As far as the hum goes, it may be your electrical wiring. Something isn't grounding properly.Perhaps Almarg will chime in. He knows more about such things than I.Much ... | |

| Subwoofer hummmmmm Why not call Vandersteen and get it from the designer's mouth?Mr. V. usually calls back the next day.Bob | |

| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design Ralph, I am still awed by what your amp and preamp can do.After growing up on tubes, I never thought I would return to them, but, you did it.Bob | |
| Ayre V-5xe Review That Johnny R is on in a million.I, too, think the Ayre/Vandersteen combo is a killer.Bob | |

| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design Thanks!So, how do you know if the tubes are okay? I haven't seen a tube tester since I went to the supermarket with my parents 60 years ago.Bob | |
| Maggie 3.6R volume problem Call Magnaplan and get their advice.In the meantime, why not change the speaker cables from L-R to R-L.If it is the amp or preamp, then you will hear the change and can proceed accordingly.Bob | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design As this is my first Tube Amp and Preamp, I have no idea who sells these, nor who is a good source. So, where do you guys get these tubes?Bob | |
| Inherited my dad's stereo - need to sell some of it You can check prices using Ebay, or better yet Hifi Shark 'sold' listings. You could also email Balanced Tech for more info on your CD player to determine its' status.Though, I hate to say, cat scratches and stripped screws will lower your asking ... |
