| Bi-wires links for speakers ? @jmcgrogan2 Most people cannot afford own $8K worth of speaker cable. And, none that do should admit it. The question, in the real world, where budget comes into play, is what sounds better? Two lesser cables, or one superior cable with jumper?... | |
| Bi-wires links for speakers ? @jmcgrogan2 : FWIW, gdnrbob is a dealer, though he doesn't like to disclose that information, as it may show his bias. So obviously he will think that if you bi-wire you will spend twice as much on cables as you were planning to.I don't know wh... | |
| Bi-wires links for speakers ? I have always felt that if the manufacturer went to the trouble of offering biwired terminals, you should get biwired cables-After all, you spent over $2.5K on the speakers.The Tellurium jumpers should be a modest upgrade, should you really not wi... | |
| Looking for speaker ideas. Onwatershipdown, I own the Unions and find them quite nice for the price. I pair them with my Vandy 2w subs, so I get the low frequencies to boot. Though I would disagree with your assessment of the Vanatoo's. Of course, none of the Vandie's want ... | |
| Motherboard SDIF Output Or Soundcard Yes, Joe, they are an interesting company. Though I don't understand their rationale for not providing information regarding the sound qualities of their different models. After all, if they are doing something between models there must be a reaso... | |

| Magneplanar MG 3.6 / R If you could write this post, you should be able to email a dealerhttp://www.magnepan.com/dealer_locationsI did not find a direct email to Magnepan, but Audio Perfection is located in Minneapolis, MN, so why not choose that dealer? He is close to ... | |
| Vandersteen tilt question 1. Distance from listener to plane of speakers, or2. Distance from listener to each speaker. The best person to answer this is Audioconnection- Johnny R.Better yet, Mr. V.For me, I think #1 is the correct way.Bob | |
| Van Alstine Trans 10RB vs. Freya Schiit. Which do you prefer and why?? Nice post ghosthouse. | |
| Original Vandersteen Model 3 Abnerjack, are you still here? | |
| Looking for speaker ideas. That isn't too bad. Which one? If it is Audioconnection, then you are in great hands. | |
| Motherboard SDIF Output Or Soundcard I think you should try a Schiit DAC. They have a trial period, so all you would be out is shipping costs. Great performance at a low price point.If you do, I would love to hear what you think.Bob | |

| The Best Cities & States to Find High End Gear I wouldn't trash Ebay altogether. I sell a lot on Ebay, and my equipment is hardly 'beat up'.Due diligence is required, and for the most part, Paypal and Ebay are on the buyer's side. |
