| Add a Subwoofer to my Vandersteen 1ce s or replace with Revel Concerta2 F36 The guys preceding this post are all on it. If you buy used get a pair with the latest serial numbers you can from someone who presents with good feedback, unless of course they are in proximity to you and you can experience them first hand. | |
| The value of of the sealed record. +1 reubent Me thinks most financial wizards would not recommend collecting unopened vinyl as an investment vehicle. Open the damn things and revel in the music while you're still here to enjoy them!!! | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT +1 rcprince The only time I turn off my SS amps is when I'm changing gear in the system or doing semi-annual connector cleaning. Some may argue that SS amps should be left on all the time to promote thermal stability. The side benefit is that... | |
| the eternal cable question I agree to give AQ a try. Preferably a model with teflon dielectric... the purer the conductors the better. The dbs system is so effective that it virtually gives AQ a corner on the interconnect market especially in which you are dealing with low ... | |
| Add a Subwoofer to my Vandersteen 1ce s or replace with Revel Concerta2 F36 +1 sfall Stay with the Vandys. Do look into scoring a 2wq subwoofer to mate with them. As was said a very good design and can be used long term with other speakers if you continue to upgrade down the road. +1 yogiboy See how the Model 1s soun... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT oh the humanity! oh the anticipation! | |
| Tube rolling in the Candela I liked the sound of the Psvane tubes and rather rapidly went through three matched pairs. Good sound but they got noisy quickly. | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? @randy-11 I wasn't referring to a "scientific" or "mathematically significant" test result. Music isn't math. Music isn't science. Music is an art and the appreciation for sonic differences are inextricably tied to the emotional reaction to mus... | |
| PS Audio Power Plant vs EP-2050? I am listening to my system with preamp, disc player, disc player power supply and phono preamp running off of a PS Audio Premier Power Plant. After reading about the waveform corrector I didn't see anything about it lowering the harmonic distort... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? @dynaquest Would you not agree that two listeners could do a cable listening test and agree to disagree as to which sets of cables in the same system helped to yield the best sound? We all hear differently due if in no other way, to anatomical ... | |
| Tube rolling in the Candela The RCA cleartops come in second. Thy will take a lifeless sounding piece of equipment and make it sound great. I rather doubt Any tube can do that! | |
| Tube rolling in the Candela After trying various new production and NOS varieties, I've found cryogenically treated Gold Lions from Cryoset to work extremely well. They are very even in frequency response and last what seems like forever. | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT @ctsooner Don't know about the high rez. I am a silver disc and licorice pizza user. | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT @nycjlee Rather than listing numerous discs, the one that will get the job done in every way of appreciating break-in and is just great, fun jazz is Clark Terry's "Portraits" on Chesky. It may be the best overall recording I own as the music is... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT @nycjlee I got my Treo CT on June 30. They take quite a while to break-in, especially the carbon tweeter. I used well recorded jazz cymbals to assess the tweeter break-in. Once they are ready to go, you can just sit back and enjoy! Just finis... |
