| Will rebuilt Quad ESL 57s take the place on a great $30K dynamic speaker? Perhaps your problem might be due to the equipment upstream? Can you tell us what you are using? FWIW, I lusted for the Quads for years, but never had the chance/money to buy them. Bob | |
| Benefits of a Shallower Rack One thing I have found since upgrading power cords is how unwieldy they have become. I have a somewhat shallow system rack, and, believe me, getting things to plug in at times makes me feel like Marlin Perkins wrangling an anaconda. Bob | |
| Why did my amp just crash and burn ? Yes, I know. But, sometimes amps have fuses inside for the rails. I tried to Google your amp, but no pics of the insides. So, if you replace the fuse by the mains, and it still doesn't work, then unplug and remove the cover and look for othe... | |
| Why did my amp just crash and burn ? Does the YBA have rail fuses? These would be inside the chassis. B | |
| Synergistic Atmosphere X Alive vs AQ Robin Hood Zero If you have the Rockets, the Robin Hood's will be a significant upgrade. Though I should ask what speakers are you using. B | |
| DAC diminishing returns I will say that, yes, you can hear differences between DAC's. I don't know what other DAC's you have listened to, but comparing the Schiit Bifrost to, say the Gungnir or Yggy, it is easy to hear the difference in sound quality. If you have compa... | |
| Subwoofer with Floorstanding Speakers? I have the Vandersteen Sub 3. Costs more than the others, but integrates seamlessly and frees up your amp from the lower frequencies. B | |
| Best turntable for the buck I would contact John Rutan and get his take on this. He knows your system and can recommend the best path forward, IMHO. Bob | |
| Vandersteen Forum The OP likes his B&W speakers, so leave him alone. We tried to help him, but he had other ideas which are fine and dandy. As Sir Vandicream said to you, as well. I just don't get the reason for the issue here. Yes, they are your spea... | |

| Connecting USB streamer server to I2s RJ45 input of DAC? I think running the direct ethernet line should be the first thing you do. Then you can start ruling out other issues. Even if the Roku works, the wireless connection can cause issues. Most times it works great, but occasionally things get screwe... | |
| Connecting USB streamer server to I2s RJ45 input of DAC? Have you updated the firmware? http://teac.jp/int/support/news/6802 B | |
| Connecting USB streamer server to I2s RJ45 input of DAC? What are your problems with streamer to DAC? FWIW, I use USB with all of my DAC's/streamers and have never had issues that made me tear out my hair. Perhaps if you listed your equipment, or PM'd me, I/we could help. Streaming is pretty new, so t... | |
| Innuos Network Isolation Switch and Reclocker (Phoenix) I can attest to the benefit of the Innuos USB reclocker. I have been on the fence with regard to the Phoenix NET, but your experience makes me want to try one. Bob | |
| Vandersteen Forum The OP was on the Vandy forum and posted some very critical posts-mostly to the effect of how can the speakers be redesigned. He was told in no uncertain terms that he could modify the speakers to his heart’s delight, but the forum would not be pa... |
