| Owners of Vandersteen 2CE & Ayre Ax7e... Belles and Ayre are both great matches with Vandersteen.Aesthetix, too.If you get a Vandy sub or two, you will relieve the amp of the heavy work, as well as gain the lower notes. Everything will sound more full bodied.I just sold my 2wq's and am w... | |
| Separating cables, is there a mat to help along the way? @djones,+1.B | |
| Schiit bifrost "clicking" between tracks Yup, I had it.I never found it a big deal. FWIW, DAC's are evolving fast. So, I wouldn't get bent out of shape with a few 'glitches'.It was only 20 years ago photography moved to digital with single digit senosrs. Now, there are 100mp sensors. I e... | |

| An old phrase which, I believe, may be timely... @bob540,I concur. I have had, for the most part, very pleasant transactions buying and selling used equipment. It is just those bottom feeders that get my goat.B | |

| John Rutan / Audio Connection @roxy54 , The guy who gave you 'stink eye' was identified as Hart, the previous owner. I think Joey54 confused dougthebiker with your post, unless I am mistakenB | |
| Interconnects under floor? I run my XLR's down to the basement and back up to the monoblocks.I see no reason why it should be an issue. Bob | |
| John Rutan / Audio Connection @roxy54 ,I was referring to your mention of Hart.B | |
| Harbeth 40.2 or Vandersteen Quatro CT +1 on contacting John Rutan (audioconnection).He will give the dope on what you need to know.Great advice, and free from pressure.Bob | |
| Harbeth 40.2 or Vandersteen Quatro CT @karmapolice , Though I understand you desire to look into new speakers, I think your happiness with Harbeth should be something that keeps you from pursuing change-at least until you can find a dealer who will allow you to audition the Vandy's at... | |
| John Rutan / Audio Connection @joey54 , @dougthebiker,It just goes to show you that when you treat people poorly, they remember. That Johnny resurrected the business shows what a class act he is.B |
