| Sellers and "Ambiguity" or "Integrity" of "item as described" descriptions on eBay I am surprised, they give me concierge service.All my calls are here in the US, and they went out of their way to help with a difficult seller.Send me a PM, maybe I can get you the number.Bob | |
| Dog Proof Speaker Stands For Harbeth SHL5Plus Speakers @nycjlee,dogs like toiI'd be hesitant getting wooden stands. Dogs like to chew.At least Sound Anchors are metal (thick steel). If you fill them with lead shot, they'd be almost unmovable.Bob | |
| Speaker Cable Suggestions Why not contact Used Cable:http://www.usedcable.com//default.aspxThey even have a consultation service, as well as a 30 return policy.Bob | |
| Sellers and "Ambiguity" or "Integrity" of "item as described" descriptions on eBay Thanks for the reply. Yes, it should have been included, or at least mentioned it was absent.Some sellers are dishonest, and some don't know better. Give him the benefit of the doubt. Contact him and Ebay, I am sure you will get your money back-Eb... | |
| What order? Sound panels/acoustic treatment first. IMHO.B | |
| Dog Proof Speaker Stands For Harbeth SHL5Plus Speakers How about Sound Anchors. They have a number of different models and could probably make something that would work.Have you considered mounting them from the walls?B | |
| Sellers and "Ambiguity" or "Integrity" of "item as described" descriptions on eBay What kind of cable was it? It must be something that could be replicated.B | |
| Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range? @abramsmatch A very nice and thoughtful review. Thank You.Bob | |
| Ayre owners and preamp options: seeking advice I agree with Randy and Stringreen. Ayre will do it right, should you want to upgrade. Regarding upgrading your DAC, why not get a Codex? It must be the best buy of the decade.The only other comparably priced DAC is the Schiit Gungnir of Yggy, both... | |
| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black I can attest to ctsooner's woodworking ability. He knows his stuff.@ctsooner I would definitely wait on cable upgrades and let you cables do their magic. As Tomic posted, sometimes you can get too much of a good thing.Bob | |
| What are some of the downsides of owning a Magneplanar .7 or 1.7i ? Maggies are like Porsche 911s or Lotus Super 7sEnter your text ...i.e. toys for very limited usage on clear and flat roads. That's why I got an Audi. Quattro is a 'good thing'. | |
| What are some of the downsides of owning a Magneplanar .7 or 1.7i ? @johnnyb53 I agree, you have a keeper (for a wife).Despite being a Vandersteen Fanboy, I also respect the Maggie's. If I had more room, I would get a pair, too. Bob | |
| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black @ctsooner Are the speakers still in the same room that I saw when I bought the Treo's?If so, you mentioned that they are now closer to the walls. Correct?What about the staircase? Do they block that or are they out from the walls enough to not be ... | |
| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black @nmmusicman I dropped out of the audiophile world 35 years ago. I only recently returned. So, I guess I missed Alon/Nola. I'd like to hear them someday. The only things Google returned look like they are stand mounted speakers, is this correct?Bob | |
| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black Thanks ct, I have never used a Class A amp, so I really shouldn't remark on power, but I feel, despite the powered bass, the Quatro's could use a bit more power than 30wpc.I have to say that the Atma's really provide me with the most clarified sou... |
