| Vault 2i, etc. Well, they are faster.And, I have yet to have one crash.B | |
| I want to start a thread on the latest usb cards for pc ,How do I include a picture? Ignore the previous post.@OP,Just post a Virtual System listing and link to that.B | |
| Power Conditioners---old electrics in my house. My go to manufacturer is Audioquest.There was a comparison between AQ and PS Audio in one of the review mags, I forget which one, but the reviewer seemed to feel the AQ Niagra offered much of what the PS Audio conditioner offered, but at a signifi... | |
| Best Musical Sub... Originally posted in 2014??? And, just when he tries to convince everyone he has all the answers- he posts this. B | |
| Best Musical Sub... Originally posted in 2014??? I swear by Vandersteen.In fact, I will be upgrading to the new Sub 3's soon.After owning both the 2w and 2wq (not V2), I can honestly state they are one of the best subs out there when combined with the external crossover. They are also built like... | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums - current owners opinion on the merits of this product I bought the Podiums for my speakers, but, alas, the outriggers made them unusable (-think limited space).So, with the blessing of Townshend, I put them under my preamp. There was a definite improvement in clarity-noticeable immediately.I have a s... | |
| Bluesound Node2 with outboard DAC @dbphd ,That is what I am doing.Node to Codex. I have no experience with Roon/Mac, so I can't say it will sound 'better', but I am very happy with my current combo.Bob | |
| New System for a greenhorn audiophile I would try to source used equipment in order to get the best bang for the buck.Though it will probably exceed $2K, I would suggest a pair of Vandy VLR's and a Belles Aria Integrated.It would give you a good foundation, as well as path to future u... | |
| Tube monoblock options? And, though he has responded to this thread, Ralph is too classy to boost his products. So, if I can speak for him, I would recommend Atma-Sphere amplifiers in a heartbeat.Bob | |
| Class D vs Class AB - Looking for best used budget amplifier for Magnepan MG12 I would wait for Ralph Karsten's Class D amp to hit the market.If his new amp is as good as his tube amps, and I expect it to be so, then Class D is going to be moving to new territory.Bob | |
| High Quality XLR IC's For My System @teeshot ,If you are referring to me, then I would ask that you PM Ralph Karsten (Atmasphere). He can provide the details.In a nutshell, if equipment supports the balanced standard (AES47), then any cable should perform as good as any other. That ... | |
| Perfect speakers for audio Research Classic 30 @stereo5 ,No point in trying to convince people who drank the Kool-Aid that they made a poor choice.@OP,I would PM John Rutan (Audioconnection). He sells ProAc's and would have good information regarding what they require power wise.B | |
| High Quality XLR IC's For My System @stringreen ,It seems we are preaching to the choir. Though I do believe cables do make a difference, XLR cables utilized in properly designed balanced equipment do not.Bob | |
| amp for vandersteens I run my Treo's with Atma MA-1's, albeit with crossovers and Vandy subs.I bet a pair of M 60's would be capable of driving the Vandy 2's, even without the subs. Unless you want to reproduce a rock concert.Bob | |
| Audio Connection/Johnny Rutan @bigkidz ,Tomic is on the other side of the country.@tomic601 .Glad to hear you got it done.Bob |
