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...

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... 
Bi-amping Vandersteen Treo CTs
@gdnrbob "You won’t be able to horizontally connect the amps to the Treo’s. They don’t have a separate bass and treble/mid input."I don’t know about your Treos but the Treo CTs I am listening to right now HAVE separate bass inputs and mid/treble ...

The analogue productions SACD of Acoustic Live is a "you are there" listening experience!  Reference music with impeccable sound quality. 
Speaker Break In Question - going from single wired to bi-wired
Richard Vandersteen has always been clear that running two single wire sets of identical cables or at least cables of identical topology is the way to go with his speakers.  RV provides designs of such value that few customers have bawked at the e...
