| Vandersteen 2C contour controls +- @oharchie What interconnects are you using now? | |
| Power Conditioner Advice please... PS Audio has focused its company efforts on power conditioning and regenerators for many a year. Their stuff is hand assembled in Boulder CO, and is built like a tank. I have a P5 regenerator and it is fantastic. If the cost of that is prohibit... | |
| Questions from a Tube Preamp newbie @ejr1953 Did you get your Gold Lions from Cryoset? | |
| Speaker Placement - When it's perfect! @ejr1953 That's a big listening space! I can relate to the one note bass problem as I had such a situation in our first house. You went to much more heroic steps (10 bass traps) to get it under control. I just looked at your system. Great ge... | |
| Speaker Placement - When it's perfect! @tomcarr Those of us with dedicated listening spaces have a distinct advantage over those who have to integrate their stereo gear into a family living space. Great kudos to those dedicated 'philes who find that perfect spot with great positioni... | |
| Speaker Placement - When it's perfect! @tomcarr As a one time owner of 2Cs, are you hearing much in the way of soundscape depth with the speakers so close to the wall behind them? | |
| Short of running new, dedicated 15 or 20 amp lines for audio, what can I do here? @blindjim I agree that power regenerators alter the sound. My PS Audio P5 powers my whole system taking incoming AC with 2.5% distortion and outputs AC with .1%. I'll take the sound alteration that results from that all day long! | |
| Short of running new, dedicated 15 or 20 amp lines for audio, what can I do here? A PS Audio power regenerator would allow you to plug your system into it and provide clean, regenerated power to eliminate noise from your dimmers or other sources. | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? @wgutz Sounds like you have your priorities straight.😀 | |
| Speaker Placement - When it's perfect! @stevizzy Is it audiophile nervosa that keeps you finding a new perfect spot or do things change in your system that provokes you to continue moving the speakers. I'm not throwing stones here believe me. Getting just the right set-up that locks t... | |
| Speaker Placement - When it's perfect! kosst_amojan Thanks for the description of your listening space. It's a big area, but as you said quite asymmetrical. It must have taken quite a lot of effort not to mention patience to get your system to sound right. As I mentioned in my or... | |
| Speaker Placement - When it's perfect! @johnk Nothing like a dedicated listening room designed for audio. That must make positioning a lot easier. I have the good fortune of a dedicated basement room, but the dimensions of the room were to the limit of the house design...but a nice ... | |
| Speaker Placement - When it's perfect! @tomic601 Didn't realize you have the Vandy 7 mk.II. That plus the other gear you have listed must make for a fabulous system. I'm betting that high ceiling allows the 7s to produce quite the soundstage. You are definitely playing in the "big... | |
| Biwire Cables for Vandersteen 2CE Signatures @nycjlee You can't go wrong with a recommendation from John R.! I replaced my AQ cables when I traded up from 3A Sigs. to Treo CTs. My Earth Series cables had such heavy gauge of copper that the mid bass was too heavy and was obscuring the cl... | |
| Speaker Placement - When it's perfect! @kosst_amojan Just wondering what size your listening space is if you can have your speakers 12 feet apart? |
