| The Belles Aria Signature Integrated Amplifier @mr_m ,With the Vandy sub/crossover, you could easily get away with 60wpc, thanks to Mr. V's design. I haven't heard LFD and their website is even more minimal than Belles.Bob | |
| Interconnects under floor? Thankfully, no snakes on Long Island, and though I have mice, they don't manage to climb the 8 feet to my cables.I really hate seeing their little carcasses as they are so cute, but do know they can be a problem.bob | |
| Audioquest Niagara 700 vs. PS Audio PowerPlant 20 Here is a review I read a while ago.It talks about the 5000 vs. the P20.https://positive-feedback.com/reviews/hardware-reviews/audioquest-niagara-5000-ps-audio-p20-directst...Bob | |
| Townsend springy platforms for my Sasha 2s, springs not ISOA GIAS, HRTs for electronics??? I wouldn’t put spikes on when using those platforms. It is not only less stable, it is redundant as the springs are providing the isolation.B | |
| Townsend springy platforms for my Sasha 2s, springs not ISOA GIAS, HRTs for electronics??? +1.Though I don't use the Podiums under my speakers, I do use them, Platforms and the Pods under my equipment- to great effect- tighter bass, and more articulation of the notes.Worth the money, IMHO. And, they are built well and are attractive, to... | |
| My system....what and how will cabling impact? I have found cables to be system dependent, so the Audioquest cables that I use for my system may not work as well as yours.Given that you have Wilson and D'Agostino, I would try to find other owners with similar equipment in order to get the best... | |
| High End Bookshelf Speakers My little Vandersteen VLR's, paired with a Belles Aria Integrated and a set of AQ William Tell speaker cables would put many systems to shame.Your positioning of the speakers would be ideal for the VLR's and if you got a Vandy sub and crossover, y... | |
| New-ish to Audiogon Forums... Is it always like this? I miss Almarg.He wrote the most concise, detailed and helpful posts here on Audiogon.RIPBob | |
| Don't get it, why anyone would ask others "what sounds best"? @edcyn,Don't ya just love it when it does that?@OP, P.S. ohm, from reading your post, we have some similarities. Your opinion could matter to me now I know a few of your preferences. ;) I think you just answered your own question.When you find o... | |
| Re-terminate speaker cables @OP,Sorry to hear AQ didn't respond.Alasdair is usually pretty good at getting back.In any case, AQ terminals can be user replaced, just get the ends you want and use a jewelers screwdriver.In your case, you could simply stack two spades together.... | |
| Pimping your router @erik_squires ,I read your article. Very interesting about the fact that wifi signals emit a hemispherical signal below them.'I did not know that?' -J. CarsonB | |
| Are there any other cheaper options for power regeneration than PS Audio Audioquest Niagra's would be an alternative.Here is a link to a review:https://positive-feedback.com/reviews/hardware-reviews/audioquest-niagara-5000-ps-audio-p20-directst...Bob | |
| Should my next purchase be from a brick and mortar? @OP, Or, you could pick John Rutan's (audioconnection) brain.He has great advice and it's free.Bob | |
| AtmaSphere Upgrade from Mk 3.1 to Mk 3.3 Thanks for that info.I really wish I had done it while it was in the shop.Oh well, something to add to my upgrade list...Bob | |
| Townshend Seismic Isolation Podium Platform Review: I find your review to be spot on to my experiences with Townshend products.The first is a 'tighter' bass, more articutaled.Second, is the 'cleaner' sound overall.And, though you might be able to make something comparable, the Townshend products ar... |
