| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black gdnrbob and tomic601I think you both are right about Richard. If there is anything he has absolutely proven over time is that no design of his is ever final! This can be frustrating for owners as he continues to refine his designs with numerous ... | |
| What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers?? Having participated in this thread as it has developed, one thing we can glean is that there are several reputable cable crafters making very good sounding products without having to leverage your home to afford them. If you have the disposable i... | |
| Vandersteen help needed @mr_m Two great posts! A couple questions...1) Do you have the Treos or Treo CT model? 2) What model of AQ interconnects are you using? My entire system is connected with AQ Colorado RCAs and I love ’em. Just curious what model is satisfying you.A... | |
| Clear Day Audio Double Shotgun speaker cables In talking to Paul of Clear Day Audio he did say that he's never had a pair of his cables returned by Vandersteen owners. I've been listening through different models of Vandys for the past 30 years and the Vandersteen house sound leans to the wa... | |
| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black I would love to see a pic of your Quatros. I bet they are darn handsome! | |
| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black Glad to hear things are progressing so well. I believe your Quatros have the CT (carbon tweeter). My Treo CT’s carbon tweeters continued to open up to the 400 hour mark or so! Good news actually as I really enjoyed hearing that process occur.For m... | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? @kosst_amojan Using spikes is not a one directional vibration reducing tool. Just as vibrations go down the spike to the floor underneath, they come right back up again. What's that getting you? Your post also states that the decoupled speaker... | |
| Clear Day Audio Double Shotgun speaker cables @milpai @jbrrp1 If I'm not mistaken you were two of the posters that helped to turn me on to Clear Day. Thanks so much for that. Listening to Nils Lofgren Acoustic Live SACD right now. Good lord is it lovely and engaging. Smilin'! | |
| Subwoofer hummmmmm One thing for everyone to consider...Only after taking the appropriate safety precautions, open your house electrical service box and check all of the grounds. In other words, tighten all of the grounds that may not be sufficiently grounded. I d... | |
| Vandersteen help needed At the risk of sounding repetitive of previous posts, John Rutan is great with Vandy set-up. You deserve good sound and it is attainable. When I picked up my Treo CTs at John's shop, my most memorable listening experience was to the the 1Ci's. H... | |

| How much does tube brand REALLY affect sound in terms of rectifier tubes? I use new production Gold Lion 12AU7s in my preamp sourced from Cryoset. They sound great and last a long time. I was looking to use Gold Lion GZ34 / U77 Genalex Cryo Rectifier tubes from Cryoset in my 9.0 Modwright power supply when the time co... | |
| What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers?? I am about 240 hours into the Clear Day Double Shotguns after removing older Audioquest all copper Earth series cables from my system. The "heaviness" of the AQ cables' contribution to the overall sound was obfuscating the transparency that the r... | |
| Dearly departed Music Reference RM9 fearsnears - Just curious, what happened? | |
| NILS LOFGREN - ACOUSTIC LIVE ever make Vinyl @daveyf I do love the way Nils uses his guitar to get that very immediate, almost exaggerated degree of plucked string detail, but I would not want to listen to that on most other guitar music. For me it does work on Nils album but usually I en... |
