| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs BTW if anyone knows someone who could use 100k X-1 crossovers I will send them for free as I have the M5-HP. | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT or Wilson Sabrina +1 stereo5 and tomic601 stereo5 your quote "That Kind of up front Wilson sound is great at first, but over time would irritate the Hell out of me." is what I was tempted to say but then there are many listeners who like that more "upfront" perspe... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT or Wilson Sabrina Both speakers are top quality offerings! I'm a 30+ year Vandy owner and love the truth of that sound. However, as @stereo5 said, you should probably audition them again. They represent very different approaches to sound reproduction. Which one... | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs @noble100 Sounds like Harvey's office on Suits.😛 | |
| Art Dudley Calls B.S. but without naming names - PLEASE DO! @johnk A bit of a cynical post. Not disputing that one-upmanship does exist between or among some manufacturers, but there are thankfully many very forthright, honest manufacturers well recognized for delivering great value in their products. T... | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs @noble100 +1 Very good advice. In my modest sized room (13.5' X18') two Vandy subs. provide a powerful, even deep bass response. | |
| Art Dudley Calls B.S. but without naming names - PLEASE DO! @geoffkait Too bad he didn't say "There is a sucker born every minuet". A very musical quote to be sure!😛 | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs @noble100 Agree with you that adapters should be avoided but the M5-HP is remarkably transparent. An important thing to keep in mind is the effect of freeing your main amp from having to produce deep bass. The treble and midrange open up with ... | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs @bstatmeister I'll try to answer your questions as clearly as I am able. The "pigtail" is the interconnect cable coming out of the M5-HP. You plug your preamp main out interconnect in the one side of the rectangular M5-HP and then the "pigtail"... | |
| Mccormack dna-1 protection problem @evilhifi BIG +1 for @gdnrbob The guys at SMc would probably enjoy talking with someone who knows their way around a piece of gear. They are good guys and would probably make a deal with you for you to install some upgrades. Boy is the new dri... | |
| Speaker recomendation @audiotroy Great post! Good, well explained advice without advertising. Nice to see it! | |
| Mccormack dna-1 protection problem @evilhifi That sounds right. I called Steve a few months ago to see what was current with DNA-1 upgrades. The last mod to my amp was 18 years ago. He said any DNA-1 with a 15+ year old driver board, they would only work on if the work included ... | |
| Mccormack dna-1 protection problem As others have rightly noted, give Steve or Patrick a call. I'm quite confident they will do whatever they can to help you rectify your situation. Real good guys! | |
| Power regenerators I am currently using a PS Audio P5 to feed my system. In the past, I owned a P500, and two PPPs. The P5 was a real game changer compared to PS's earlier offerings. I could not connect my power amp. to the PPP with our shutting down the regenera... | |
| Speaker recomendation @audiotroy I have no doubt that you have learned a great deal over 30 years in the audio gear business. Sharing your expertise is welcome. Please advertise elsewhere! |
