| CDP Repair or Replace? Seeking advice Please From what I've read about both Cambridge players, they have different sonic profiles. The 840C often characterized as sounding highly resolved and warm whereas the 851C has been said to have a cooler, drier sound. So I would recommend repairing ... | |
| Very Bad purchase from upscale audio Acoustic Zen Adagio yikes!!! after re-reading my last post I sound like a communitarian. My bad. Thanks cleeds and czarivey! I stand corrected on that post. By all means, everyone involved in this discussion should decide for themselves about their feelings on t... | |
| Very Bad purchase from upscale audio Acoustic Zen Adagio So... Where does this leave the AG community vis a vis Kevin Deal? | |
| Audioquest colorado sound to bright @mr_m Have you had the opportunity to compare Colorados directly with Earth? I thought the only appreciable difference was more layers of noise shielding in the Earth. | |
| Add a Subwoofer to my Vandersteen 1ce s or replace with Revel Concerta2 F36 @bondmanp You are so right about mass loading the 2wqs. I have a 45 pound weight lifters steel disc on top of each of mine with Herbie's Big Fat Dots between the weights and the top of the subs so there would be no rattling under intense sub outp... | |

| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? I have been using Herbie's Audio Lab "Cone/Spike Decoupling Gliders" under the spikes of my Vandersteen Treo CTs. I got the same effect from them decoupling my speakers from the floor that you are describing with the Podiums under your dynastats.... | |
| Add a Subwoofer to my Vandersteen 1ce s or replace with Revel Concerta2 F36 @mr_m Consider the virtues of going shopping with the boss. I have been purse and clothes shopping the last two weekends. It doesn't hurt your negotiating position for that second subwoofer. Especially if she is successful on those shopping trips! | |
| Add a Subwoofer to my Vandersteen 1ce s or replace with Revel Concerta2 F36 mr_m I guess you’ll have to make it as the "boss" permits. I’m sure you’ll enjoy the Treo CTs with one 2wq. Adding a second will open things up even further. One of the nicest benefits of stereo subs is totally freeing your main amp from powering ... | |
| the eternal cable question @meambler My entire system is wired with AQ Colorado. They have the purest copper conductors (PSC+) with highest quality dielectric (Teflon). One and one and a half meter ICs are on sale at half price here https://www.musicdirect.com/equipment/aud... | |
| Best interconnect burn-in method @randy-11 Gee Randy, what is a dielectric? I'm new to audiophilia. Thanks for helping me out! | |
| Best interconnect burn-in method @shadorne Your statement flies in the face of Audioquest's Dielectric Bias System and an understanding that once installed in a system, cable dielectrics "form" after a period of time with signal flowing through them. AQ's DBS system sends 72 vol... | |
| Add a Subwoofer to my Vandersteen 1ce s or replace with Revel Concerta2 F36 @mr_m Do you have 2wqs mated with your Treo CTs? | |
| Are You Sorbothane Experienced? geoff is right about the plethora of different materials and devices on the market as well as some you might pick up at a well stocked hardware store. After messing with many of these over the years I have found Steve and Robert Herbelin (Herbie'... |
