| Brand new Vandersteen Model 2's @ctsooner ,I think it would be a fun comparison if Johnny could set up a comparison of the new 2's vs. the old model.Bob | |
| Replace Ayre Codex with Topping D90 DAC @jchiappinelli, Ayre offers upgrades, too.But, I agree that Schiit DAC's are very good. Though you would need to get a Gungnir or Yggy to compete with the Codex.Bob | |
| Replace Ayre Codex with Topping D90 DAC @dbphd ,Are you sure you are using the DAC out and not the Pre out?That would explain the low volume. Whoops, @hgeifman beat me to it.If not, then I would pursue an Ayre QB 9. Ayre just offered an upgrade to Twenty status for $1500, so if you fou... | |
| Brand new Vandersteen Model 2's @ctsooner , @tomic601 ,It would be fun to meet up, but I would really like to see/hear Jim's systems. Unfortunately, I hate airplanes, though with the current pandemic, they should be running less than full. Even so, recycled air usually makes me ... | |
| Brand new Vandersteen Model 2's I am definitely getting the new Sub 3's as soon as I can sell my 2wq's.My Treo's fit perfectly in the space I can provide and the Quatro is just too deep to fit. The subs fit nicely in a corner near the speaker and aren't too imposing.Getting them... | |
| Vandersteen updates and amplifiers @karl_desch ,I would opt for a higher power Atma amp for the Vandies.The M60 would probably work, but I think the MA-1 would be a better choice. I would PM Ralph Karsten (Atmasphere here on Agon) and get his opinion. His phone number is on his web... | |
| Brand new Vandersteen Model 2's It will be a testament to great design if Richard can continue to improve upon the 1,2 and 3's- Especially considering that the basic design was made more than 40 years ago.My impression of moving from the 3a sigs to the Treo's is definitely an in... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT *beginner* questions @mglik ,Well, to me, the Treo's are a better 3a sig, the Quatro's are the best value before a 5/Kento.@OP,I'd meet with you too, if you go on a weekend.Audioconnection also carries Maggie's.Bob | |
| I'm here for the enthusiasts, not the snobbery @almarg ,I always pictured you as a 911 guy.Bob | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT *beginner* questions @pwhinson ,Like the ads say, YMMV.Though I disagree with your opinion about Vandy's ' climb in price higher and higher', I do agree that Maggie's are pretty sweet sounding speakers.If I had the space I would own them, too, but my Vandy Treo's wor... | |
| Room Correction, Acoustic Treatment, Positioning, etc. What are my options Cue Allan Sherman's 'Waste of Money'.B | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT *beginner* questions I am always amazed at the loyalty of the Vandersteen crowd.I first heard them in the '80's and never forgot how good they sounded.I was happy to find after 35 years, that they were still in business, and still making the 2's.That a speaker should... | |
| Sub $1k Power Conditioners? Any Assistance Appreciated... @OP,You can orient the AQ 1200 in any way you need.B | |
| Sub $1k Power Conditioners? Any Assistance Appreciated... @OP,I use the AQ 1200.It definitely does a good job for me.When it comes to surge protection, your best bet is to install a whole house surge protector at the mains-That is if you own your own home.Bob |
