| Fixing Vandersteen 2c's? Call Vandersteen - good chance you will speak to the owner. 2Cs are classics. If you ship them back they will come back playing like new. Depends on your budget of course but you should definitely start with a call to the factory. Let us know what... | |
| Enough SET Power for Rock and Roll I've listened to Klipsch Cornwall IIs with 45 SET Welborne monoblocks. I like to listen to rock and reasonably loud in a room about 18x14 or so. I think the 45s drive enough volume to just about get there. Would a little more volume be nice? Yes, ... | |
| Does your system take you there or...? Onemug - that was a great post.And Wolf_garcia, I think I was there with the same drinkers and clinkers. Bill Evans LPs can be among the very best. | |
| Audio Research SP16 vs SP3A1 and SP3C Thanks - any chance you can describe in more detail the tonality and other differences (and any similarities) between the 3A1 and 3C? In the highs, mids, low end? Did you own the 3A1 (for how long?) and then have it updated? What speakers and amp ... | |
| powering two pairs of Dahlquist DQ10s I agree with the other posters who recommend getting them off the wall. They generally will like being in or near the cardas recommended locations - see cardas' web site.I had two pair, twice. The best sounding happened to be side by side on stand... | |
| Best ARC Solid State power to match ARC Ref 5 Pre The general thinking is that the D400MkII and the 100.2 are two of the best solid state amps from ARC. The 400II has more authority and maybe a tad more extension and it is clearly bigger and heavier in case that matters. The 100.2 is slightly mor... | |
| Price for ARC PH3 SE and PH5 I had a PH3SE and thought it was good but then moved to a PH5; in my system the 5 was better from low end to high end; better detail, air, etc. It's a no brainer if the price is anywhere close. | |
| What are the $5000 options I had a Technics SP-10mkII - it was very good to excellent. But I think if you could AB it with a Linn you might prefer the Linn which would be easier to find and service if you ever needed service. Often many good Linns to choose from on Agon. I ... | |
| What are the $5000 options For 5K you could get a Linn LP12, Ittok, Shelter 901 or maybe a 90X and have money left over and a fantastic sounding vinyl rig. In fact, you could probably have two LP12s, two Ittoks, a Shelter 901 and one other cartridge if you really need two t... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall III or Tyler Acoustics PD-15 I think it might be an error to presume how speakers will sound based on just the "size of the room"; I think it's the dimensions (ie, the relationship (the ratios) between length, width, and height) of the room (plus the the shape of the room - i... | |
| What are best speakers for VTL 125 amps and 90dB ? Something is in need of a change if you have continuously been blowing speakers. Any chance you are pushing the amps past clipping? It's not necessarily how much power you put into the speaker as much as how clean and stable the signal is - VTL 12... | |
| Your favourite cartridge Decca, Koetsu, Shelter - heard them in that order but I wouldn't necessarily rank them in that order - in the proper arm and system they can all be outstanding. | |
| Jolida JD-9 and Dynavector 23RS Question Thanks - Over the last day it looks like the problem has been identified; seems that the Jolida has an issue - might be a bad capacitor. Thanks again for the reply. | |
| What stands for Mag 3.6's work well? Rootman, which model Maggies do you use and what is the rest of your system (always interested in what reproduces good Led Zep and R. Stones)? Also, what are the dimensions (HWD) on your room? Thx, Hi_hifi |
