| Ground loop feedback - cable wire issue To lift a ground means you remove the ground pin.You can do this by either removing the ground pin from the plug (not recommended), or using a ground cheater:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheater_plug.As your Marantz has only 2 prongs, then this i... | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world Even Richard Vandersteen believes that multiple subs are better than one or two.PM ctsooner. He spoke with Mr. V. about this not long ago.Though I have to say the new Sub 3 with equalization will probably be very close to multiple subwoofers.I wil... | |
| Bluesound Node Issues After the Firmware Upgrade @rocray,Oh, ye of little faith...😉The fact that Bluesound is still working to keep all previous iterations of the Node current means that they will probably do so in the future. And, considering how old and how little the original Node's cost, it ... | |
| SS vs. Tubes with Vandersteen 2ce sig II @OP, Glad to be of service. That is what this forum is for.Johnny is one of the best dealers out there. And, believe me, as a NYC guy, I came to hate dealers with a passion. But, Mr. Rutan broke the mold.Bob | |
| Sub Question. One higher quality sub or two lesser quality? (Rythmik vs HSU) I own HSU subs and Vandersteen.The HSU's are very good for the money. The Vandy's, with their crossovers, are, in my opinion, the best- easy integration, and built like tanks, unlike many brands. ( I would do a search here on Audiogon. I remember ... | |
| Length of speaker cables You know, Veteran's Day is just around the corner.😜B | |
| Ground loop feedback - cable wire issue I have had this issue with my office.I even sent my amps and preamp to Atmasphere to sort it out, but, to no avail.It seems some amps don't play well with other equipment.I think it might be some inherent design issue with the amp, but I am no EE.... | |
| SS vs. Tubes with Vandersteen 2ce sig II @OP,Good move on PM'ing Johnny.Sometimes he doesn't check his Agon PM's, so I will give him a reminder...And, as far as tubes go Ralph Karsten (atmasphere) would be someone who might be able to offer some info.Bob | |
| Length of speaker cables @OP,No reason to be 'anxiously waiting'.Those cables are going to 'rock your world'.They did to mine.Whatever Garth Powell is doing, you can be sure it will be for the positive.Bob | |
| SS vs. Tubes with Vandersteen 2ce sig II Vandy's pair great with Ayre. An AX7e would be a good integrated, as well as a Belles Aria integrated.Of course, you can buy separates and get additional power/higher resolution-though it depends upon your budget.I run my Treo's with either Ayre M... | |
| Length of speaker cables @mammothguy54,+1Though the OP doesn't have to go as far up the AQ chain to achieve higher resolution, I would personally opt for the William Tell's, as it would be the end of a chase.Don't believe me? PM ctsooner, or audioconnection (John Rutan)- ... | |
| Just installed a bluesound node 2i , quality not so good @superstoked,Can you provide a link to the equipment?B | |
| Bluesound Node Issues After the Firmware Upgrade Bluesound fixed the issue with the latest firmware.I had to manually install it, but it seems many have done it through the app successfully-per the Bluesound forum.Bob | |
| Anyone know the Shahinian Diapason Ensemble???? Why not call/email Shahinian?They are still in business. You can also question them on the cost issue while you are at it.It seems a fair question, but there might be reasonable answer.B | |
| Schiit Bifrost 2 quit working I'd just send it back to Schiit.I have purchased many items from Schiit. I have never had an issue with any of them, let alone the one you have posted.And, considering that they have sent an RMA, I think it shows that they are committed to providi... |
