| 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... | |
| A number of questions regarding final touches to audio system/digital/plex +1 mgreen.I just found foobar and it is a great free app. If you want to aid in sound reproduction, I suggest getting Fidelizer and buying the Pro version. It reallocates windows system to prioritize audio. I never thought it would do as much as i... | |
| Seeking advice/tips on improving sound quality Of course going up the Vandy line will yield better reproduction, but I think the OP wanted to ugrade sound quality for his networked system.I, too, have been working on this.

| Looking to build a system for under $5k +3 for Vandersteen's. +2 for Johnny R at Audioconnection.The Vandy 1's with subs can be a killer combo. Paired with a used McCormack amp and preamp, and a Schiit DAC. and some AudioQuest cables and you should be under $5K.Though I am a Vandy fanbo... | |
| Warm Sounding Preamp Suggestions You don't mention your interconnects. They can have a significant effect on sound.You could try some Transparent cables, before changing out the preamp.They might mellow some of the harshness. | |
| Van Alstine Trans 10RB vs. Freya Schiit. Which do you prefer and why?? If you like the Freya, does that make you a shtinkyschiitydog?;) | |
| Fidelizer and JPlay Thanks marcin, that is what I was hoping to hear.I only found Fidelizer recently, and I have to say it truly made the sound come alive. I had my doubts about Airplay, but it was cheap and does work. | |
| Boulder monoblock 2150 Bdp24, I hate to say Mozart makes great dinner music, at least for me.Though I think the problem now is that music and music theory haven't been taught for decades. The sonata form has finally been supplanted by rap/hip hop. It really is a new era... | |
| 100 - 125.00 RCA, and coax recommendations please Regarding cables, I just remembered another supplier:http://www.cs1.net/products/cables.htmSimple cables at a fair price, you can always upgrade later.+1 tls, I agree vertical biamping/monoblocks is the way to go. You are going down a slippery slo... | |
| 100 - 125.00 RCA, and coax recommendations please +1 mgreen.I suggest you get things set up and listen, let it all break in. Then consider all the alternatives.For inexpensive cables, I have gone to Zu Audio. They do what they should with little coloration. For me, spending a lot on cables is sil... |
