| best bi-wire cables for ref75se/vandersteen 2ci Going to follow this topic. For now, I am using Audioquest Gibraltar internal bi-wire cables for my Vandersteen 5A rig. Haven't tried anything else yet, but these seem to work very well. AQ provides the smaller spade connectors necessary for the... | |
| Digital Audio for Dummies I've had good success with the Sony HAP-Z1ES. It combines DSD-capable streamer/DAC in one box, and the iPad/iPhone (or Android) app is great. Rip all of your CDs to the Sony via your computer and home network (Sony instructions explain how to do t... | |
| What Do You Think Of This? Guessing that your customer didn’t have much in the way of positive Audiogon feedback, right? I’d recommend doing the refund so long as the item is returned in the same condition as when you sent it. Presumably, it’ll be in great shape and you can... | |
| Acony records Yes, these are excellent LPs. Looking forward to hearing the full Gillian/David catalog on vinyl, one of these days. I will guess that there will be live vinyl releases too. Eventually. They are in no hurry, but the results so far on Acony (their ... | |
| Best Music Streaming Hardware Options Hard to say what's "best" these days with streaming, since things are evolving pretty fast. I've taken what I believe to be moderate approach, tech-wise, with the understanding that a few years from now I'll be making another change to digital. ... | |
| McIntosh C2500 to Pass Labs XP-20 Comparison Great comparison of these two excellent preamps. Thanks. As a McIntosh C2300 (not quite c2500) user, this was especially interesting. You mention tube rolling the stock C2500 tubes to Mullards, which makes me wonder if some of the analytical (g... | |

Go ahead and post your system photos so we can see how everything looks?Curious about how you're handling vibration control with the new rig. What sort of platform/stand are you... | |
| How big is the sweet spot for the vandersteen quatro wood CT speakers? If you've put the Quattro's deep into the short side corners (along the 13 foot dimension), try moving them out of those corners, a few feet from sides and at least a foot from the back wall. "Sweet spot" is fairly wide, laterally, with Vanderstee... | |
| Room color opinions Evening listening means color matters less, especially with lowered lights. YMMV but, night or day, I find white room walls to be sterile and boring and non-conducive to realistic music levels and rocking out. | |
| What is really the purpose of streaming?? Not all "streaming" works the same way. Spotify (various resolutions, not yet high res, sometimes CD quality) and Tidal (higher resolution, usually CD quality or better, more limited catalog) are subscription "streaming" services. They do not us... | |
| Vandersteen Seminar at Audio Connection (NJ) Thank you for the Vandersteen report. Question: How were the Vandersteen subs connected with the Vandersteen 7's? Did you have a chance to listen with/without the subs in the system?Thanks! | |
| Store auditioning and then buying on-line from others. How do you feel about it ? @inna "but who cares, right?"Only you can answer that ethical riddle for yourself. Others of us may wish to develop long-term business friendships built on trust, knowledge, shared interests, and honest dealing. As we know, lowest pricing isn't al... | |
| Anyone Ever Figure Out Who Really Designs And Build the Kiseki Cartridges? Why is this interesting question not directed first at the USA distributor for Kiseki? Last I checked, it was Upscale Audio. | |
| Interconnect Length Is it possible to mount your TV on the wall? That way, turntable would fit on the component stand. |
