| Suggestions for active crossover setup please. Isn't this what Vandersteen does? I use the M5-HP crossovers with the Vandy subs. The only thing that keeps you from using it with other subs is that the Vandy sub output compensates for the crossover attenuation.Bob | |
| The very best Sibelius recordings in analog I am listening to the Christian Ferras/Karajan recording of the Violin Cto. on Spotify. I bought this when I was in college and remember it well.I still sounds wonderful.Bob | |
| A Different Solution for Cables How do you piggyback interconnects?Bob | |
| Computer, software, USB cable or ? I use a PC and can run Fidelizer. It made a huge difference in sound quality. I don't know about Mac, but there must be another OS optimizer that can do what Fidelizer does.I also upgraded my USB cables to Audioquest Forest and noticed a small but... | |
| Rack stabilization alternative to lally columns and beam? That is always the best way.And, I would be interested in hearing which way sounds better.Bob | |
| Speaker recommendation for married couple I would still recommend the Vandersteen's. Johnny Rutan can give you a great system.FWIW, I have the Vandy Treo's, 2w subs, and Atma-Sphere amp and preamp and think it is about as good as it gets.Bob | |
| Rack stabilization alternative to lally columns and beam? Kenny, yes I do understand what you were going for. In my opinion, I would bolt the rack directly to the studs, rather than introduce dampening. If you were to do what you are intending, I think it would add to the instability of the rack, not red... | |
| Is Anything Really "Future-Proof"? I wouldn't put my money on MQA, just yet.Funny that you bring this topic up-I own Ayre, Atma-Sphere, McCormack and Vandersteen. All of whom can provide upgrades to their equipment.Bob | |
| Speaker recommendation for married couple Vandersteen Treo's or Quatro's. Nice sound and nice styling.Bob | |
| Rack stabilization alternative to lally columns and beam? I was following another thread and the OP mentioned Townsend Audio-http://www.townshendaudio.com/hi-fi-home-cinema-equipment-vibration-isolation/seismic-isolation-pods...They make a lot of products, but these pods look interesting, but are unfortu... | |
| Looking for CD player recommendations that are a great match with Classe & Vandersteen Thanks Itzhak.@jsbach1685 ,I wouldn't discount streaming altogether. Apple and Apple Music isn't the best way to stream music (Though I am probably going to be slammed for saying it). Even a Bluesound Node will give you better results. I own them ... | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design Ozzy, I don't have the Zero's. I only mentioned it because when I changed the crossover settings of the M5-HP, things sounded grainy/shrill. John Rutan said it was that the circuit needed to settle in for about 60 hours or so. Hence, I was wonderi... | |
| Rack stabilization alternative to lally columns and beam? Can't you raise the rack a bit so that it will not be affected by the floor?Your subs should be on isolating points, and therefore not contributing to any floor vibration. As far as wall vibration, then I would be concerned that the speakers would... | |
| Looking for CD player recommendations that are a great match with Classe & Vandersteen If you want the most accurate sound, then perhaps you should consider using a Transport for your CD's and outputting the signal to a separate DAC.FWIW, I use either my Rega Apollo R or McCormack DAC-1. Both sounded quite nice with my 3a sigs. Thou... | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design Not to be a pain, but I wonder if you should leave the transformers set at a connection for a period of time.I only say this because, when I adjusted my Vandy M5-HP crossovers, Johnny Rutan said they need to settle in for a few days before they ex... |
