Main Audiogon site barely works?
The migration of the site was amateur at best. The site slowing to nearly unusable, then going completely offline for some users while others were able to post new listings.I checked http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com several times and it was offl... 
?? hi res recording studio practices
@seventies I've been a recording engineer for nearly 3 decades. I can tell you what I know based on having worked in some of the biggest name studios in the industry. I've never seen anyone use DXD. Though I do know that Channel Classics is one st... 
Minimonitors
Another great option I meant to mention is the Vandersteen VLR CT.I'm waiting to audition a pair of these and may just buy a pair without an audition. Trusting my experience with Vandersteen speakers I'm sure they're outstanding. 
Minimonitors
@bananaslug have you considered the Dynaudio Special Forty ?They're know to...put out what its fed, play well, and basically disappearCombined with a sub of your choice you can easily stay under $5K@ditusa I'm afraid you're incorrect.minimonitors ... 
Quicksilver audio silver 88 mono amps
@zardozmike please let us know what you think of your new amps.Quicksilver amps are all very good sounding and outstanding values, IMHO.Yes Mike has updated over the years but he’s never made anything you’d regret buying if you like pure tube amps... 
Buchardt S400
Ah, so he pilfered a Dyna engineer ! That's a good business move.I saw an interview where he said they're working on powered speakers with DSP and built in room correction. With that technology and a wireless hub they're certainly pursuing a lifes... 
Buchardt S400
Mads Buchardt's father had a musical instrument store and they also sold DIY speaker kits. He’s not an engineer just someone who had a good idea and pursued it with a friend to start Buchardt Audio. He has no affiliation with Dynaudio past or pres... 
Vandersteen VLR CT
@tomic601 Thanks. I had my assistant engineer call all the L.A. Vandersteen dealers last fall, including Optimal Enchantment and they did not have the VLR CT. I don't think he called Sunny's. I just checked the Vandersteen web site and now Sunny's... 
Vandersteen VLR CT
Thanks for the replies guys !@edicionretro I haven't heard the CT in anything so that's the reason I asked if they have a Vandersteen sound. If you preferred them over classic Vandersteens that's saying a lot.I found the web site for Sunny's, oddl... 
Vandersteen VLR CT
I’ve had my VLR CTs for over a year now. I couldn’t be happier. In the past I was usually bitten by the speaker upgrade bug after about 6 months. I listen to these things everyday and am still more than happy with them. Where are you located?Thank... 
If you listen to anything other than Classic Jazz, don't read this.
ericmbass I do listen to all types of music but I share the appreciation you have for classic jazz.Rega makes fine turntables and in recent years they've made some very fine integrated amplifiers. Speakers not so much. One respected British audio ... 
Vandersteen VLR CT
OK I have to bump this year old thread because I can't find much information anywhere about the VLR CT. I've searched but haven't round any reviews or much discussion.As I posted in the thread about the new 2C Sig III, I owned a pair of Signature ... 
Tube versus SS
Guys, you know those tin cans hanging from the telephone poles? Those are transformers that turn the several thousand kV (depends where you are. Ours is 8 kV) into the 220 V for your house. There may be 10 houses or so hooked to the same transform... 
Quicksilver Headphone Amp
I have to bump this thread because I too am just enthralled by the Quicksilver HP amp. I called Mike Sanders and ordered mine a few months ago and it's been everything I expected and more. I have a pair of Quicksilver Silver 60 monos so I knew if ... 
Are Music Reference amps still available new?
Another RM-9 owner here. Roger was nice enough to upgrade it to a MKII years ago. I still enjoy it a few hours a month when I can dedicate the time and really listen. I also have an original RM-10. Both amps are running original RAM tubes and I've...
