| Tuners that do it? Have a Denon TU-767 boxed up as I haven't used it in years but it is an impressive piece of kit. Spent many hours enjoying FM back in the day. | |
| CD players = dead? Many of us have invested a tidy sum on silver discs (CD, XRCD, SACD etc.) I suspect that in the high end of things spinners will be around for a long time. Maybe only one or two models per manufacturer, but as much as I covet my vinyl collection... | |

| 2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy rotarius and folkfreak Agree with both of you! DBS keeps the dielectric in shape After you break in the cables originally. Connector, conductor quality and dielectric always make a difference in my cable experiences. | |
| 2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy @rotarius Perhaps...but the one big advantage of the AQ interconnects is the 72V DBS system. Once you fire up your system you are getting 100% performance. No cable run-in needed. | |
| Is Spiking Necesarry? To follow-up on the above posts... In my case I use the spikes that come with the Vandersteen Treo CT's. Each spike sits in a Titanium disk with a dimple to accept the spike. The titanium disk sits in db neutralizer material which in turn rests ... | |
| Is Spiking Necesarry? @gdhal You’re right that the speakers dancing around the room to the music would be an issue if it happened. Happily I can report that it doesn’t. The gliders really do sink into the carpet pile. My speakers are 11 pounds per lighter than prof’s T... | |
| 2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy @ebm I'm not sure how cables can be dishonest as that is a human vice. AND...the Columbias and Colorados are on a half price closeout sale. My entire system is interconnected with Colorados. Nice. | |
| Is Spiking Necesarry? @gdhal The Herbelins will let you return the gliders if they don't work for you. | |
| 2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy If they still have them, go for the Colorado. Much better bass impact. I tried both! | |
| Is Spiking Necesarry? @gdhal I appreciate your question about the Herbie's gliders. It is easier to move the spiked speakers with the spikes in the gliders. I am still careful when doing so as I fear toppling over my speakers if moved carelessly. I just found my e... | |
| 2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy +1 milpai Paul at Clear Day lets you try them at no cost. If they don't work for your rig, send them back. The details I am hearing without treble emphasis is fascinating. You can listen further into the music, enjoying details that you may no... | |
| Is Spiking Necesarry? @gdhal ?? What is the basis for your quite categorical claim in favor of spiking into the listening room floor? I am still spiking my speakers but they are being spiked into Herbie's gliders! Speaker vibrations are not going down the spikes i... | |
| Is Spiking Necesarry? @john_g What type of floor do you have your Treo CTs on? | |
| Vandersteen 2Ci - Bi-wire cable question +1 tomic601 If you can swing it at some point you would do well to upgrade the quality of the wire you're using. Vandy's are sufficiently resolving of fine details that it Will make a difference. |
