| speaker shopping I second noble100's comment. If you are near a metro area, you should be able to get some listening time at a few dealers and get an idea of what you like.Your subs aren't the worst, but not the best for high fidelity reproduction.Once you have se... | |
| Who is the WORST Audio Shop? Funny that people still don't like Sound by Singer.I still remember 30 years ago, they had the same attitude.I went in on a rainy day, salesman says to put my umbrella in the stand. No problem.After listening, I went back for my umbrella and it wa... | |
| Power cord replacement suggestions Droleg, you do know that you can plug a 15amp male plug into a 20 amp female outlet without issue? | |
| Looking for speaker ideas. Do you want to stay with tubes? Stay in the same budget $2-3K?It would probably be better to settle on speakers first.Are you near any large city dealers to get some trialing?Bob | |

| Van Alstine Trans 10RB vs. Freya Schiit. Which do you prefer and why?? @mechans, a belated reply.In another thread, I bemoaned the fact that Schiit doesn't provide any information relative to sound benefits of their products. Which seems counter-productive, to me.@shtinkydog, I don't think you will be disappointed in... | |
| Looking for speaker ideas. +1 hifiman5Even though Zu gives you a 2 week trial. I noticed that my Omen's needed more than that to open up. Perhaps contacting the company (whoever you are buying from) and see if they have some broken in speakers for trial. | |

| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation Though I am glad Vandersteen made a more stylish, well built cabinet, I am surprised by the move.After all, he (Richard) originally chose to put all his effort into the works of the speaker rather than blinging out the cabinets- Hence, the 1,2 and... | |

| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation Definitely a good decision. | |
| speaker shopping Vandersteen 3a sigs. would be closest to your price range and they would be happy with your amp. | |
| Looking for speaker ideas. My 2 cents-If you want the best for the least green, get Vandersteen. If you go with the 1,2,3 or Treo, your going to need subs. Vandy subs are the best, but you can get by with a pair of HSU for a lot less money.For more 'Rock' punch, I would con... | |

It reallocates windows system to prioritize audio. I never thought it would do as much as i... |
