| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? Don't know guys... I haven't found any genre of music that don't sound good on my current system and my tastes are quite eclectic. Your system either reproduces the signal you feed it or it doesn't.Would I like the sound of rap? No because I fin... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? @ctsooner I'm a fan of Audioquest cables as well. For me, the AQ line of cables' sound is totally predictable. As you move up the higher end of the line each step up reveals a larger soundstage and more detail. The big leap is when you jump up... | |
| Conrad Johnson MF2550, What To Expect? @stereo5 Things should be "cooked" pretty soon. Looks like you're in for pretty sweet sound soon! Enjoy and revel in a purchase well made. | |
| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? Based on your current circumstances and listening environment, if you want a speaker based system for background music, allow more break-in time for your speakers and hope things improve at lower volumes.For audiophile/serious listening, research ... | |
| Tekton vs. Salk Sound? @dhanks If you decouple your loudspeakers/subs. from the floor beneath them you can keep the bass vibrations from traveling to the other side of the townhouse. I have two powered subs. in my system which used to drive the rest of the family bon... | |
| Are the folks at Vandersteen ok? +1 stewart0722 RV has a singular vision of what he wants out of his creations and once he fixed upon his philosophy of speaker design it has and continues to be a quest to perfect that vision. He is regularly updating his various speaker designs... | |
| Man this is frustrating A great deal can be had on two 1 meter pairs of Audioquest Columbia interconnects at Music Direct. Retail $1000.00 for 2 pair. On closeout, $500. Here’s the link: https://www.musicdirect.com/equipment/audioquest-columbia-interconnects-pr | |
| Current pricing for a modded SA7S1 @geoffkait What teens do you know who are listening to CDs? Ironically, I know of a couple who have wetted their piggies in the vinyl pool, but CDs? Nah. | |
| Current pricing for a modded SA7S1 Even worse, many audiophiles are moving away from spinning discs in favor of using their computers to feed their system. The market for all spinners is shrinking! | |
| Bybee IQSE on top of SR T Base UEF OP Please explain what all of the initials mean in the thread title. I have no idea what you are talking about. Thanks! | |
| Is the PS Audio PerfectWave P10 Power Plant worth it? When the funds are available, go for the P5 or P10. Earlier generations of the PS Audio regenerators were infantile compared to the newest units. Not faulting the PS folks as they were aiming to revolutionize the way power is delivered to our au... | |
| Is the PS Audio PerfectWave P10 Power Plant worth it? Wow! if you can swing a P10 then have at it. I went from a PPP to a P5 and can't believe the improvement! The P5 and P10 are so much better in design and execution. I can plug my entire system including my McCormack modified DNA-1 amp. into the... | |
| Good set of speakers for tube amp/preamp If you are looking for new speakers, Vandersteen 1Ci @ $1350/pair. A significant step up would be the Model 2 Signature II (used). I have heard both of these speakers on tubes and it was beautiful! They produce a the musicians are in the room e... | |
| Tekton Electon/DI compares to what? I'm probably as much of a Vandersteen booster as the Tektoners here are of their preferred brand. I for one would love to hear the Tektons to experience what all the allegiance to their sound is about. Anyone in central PA that would be willing ... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? @geoffkait A new word, "intrepidation". Congrats! |
