| Vandersteen VLR (non CT), my opinion I believe the VLR Wood was the original iteration of the VLR now in production. B | |
| Kimber Kable 12TC/8TC vs. Audioquest Rocket 44/33 for bi-amping? Use the same cable with both leads. AQ GO-4 would be a better move, and cost about the same. PM Audioconnection, he knows both cables and will give you free advice without trying to sell you something. B | |
| For Innuos owners Thanks, this is good to know. I usually power my Innuos down after listening. Now, I will try leaving it on. Bob | |
| Vandersteen & Denon AVR-X4700H You can probably drive the 2's, but there are much better options. For one, using a zero feedback amp will make them sing. As a Vandy owner, you can join the Vandersteen forum and get the best info. It is located on the Vandy website. Bob | |
| How good is Aesthetix audio? My favorite dealer, Audioconnection, sells them, so they must be good. He is a member here, so why not PM him? (And, he give great advice without trying to sell you something). Bob | |
| DAC Under $3000 Ayre QB9 Twenty, in fact any Ayre will outperform your previous Dacs. Schiit Yggy comes a llittle bit below the Ayre, but still very good. If you can score a used unit, then you are well below $3K. I hate to say it, but at $3K you aren't going... | |
| End of life for Vandersteen IICe? If you are handy and can do some light soldering, then contact Vandersteen to see what it costs to replace the drivers and crossovers. And, since you are Vandy owner, then post on the Vandy forum(go to the Vandy website). I bet Mr. V. will answer... | |
| Muted hi freq from Magnepan 1.7 PM or call John Rutan (Audioconnection). He knows Maggies inside out. PM me if you need contact information. B | |
| Replacing current sub with another @highend64 , What I meant is that despite my attempts to integrate them, I had certain frequencies that were booming (mostly 150 to 80 hertz) when I switched to 'Pop' music. With non-electronic music, things sounded well balanced, but if I switch... | |
| Replacing current sub with another @audioconnection , you took the words out of my mouth. @highend64 , The limitations are that there are certain frequencies that get attenuated too much, despite careful setup. The result being that one setting will sound great with Classical,... | |
| Replacing current sub with another @highend64 , Make an account at HifiShark and use the necessary filters to have it email you whenever a 2wq becomes available. I do know they have popped up recently. You will need either a fixed crossover (around $200 from a dealer-contact John... | |
| Replacing current sub with another As you own a pair of Vandy’s, why not get a 2wq? They can be had quite inexpensively, now that the Sub 3 is out, and they will not only mesh nicely with 2ci’s, but will allow your amp to work more easily. I use the Hsu subs on my office system w... | |
| Buying Used Equipment on the Internet @aamiransari , I, restarted my audio journey 10 years ago, when I finally had some money to spend on a decent stereo. I found Audiogon and it’s marketplace, as well as US Audio Market. I might have been lucky, but I have had good experiences wit... | |
| Innuous Phoenix net The Phoenix is a good addition if you want more 'definition/clarity' in your system. In order to make a well based response, I'd need to know what your system is comprised of. Lacking that info, I will say that the Phoenix Net will provide... | |
| Ayre QX-5 Twenty Though I don't own a QX-5, I do/have owned the Codex, QB-9 Twenty. Both perform well above their price point, IMHO. As to why they use what they use, I would suggest contacting them directly. Ariel or Ryan will probably respond. There are a bunc... |
