| WORST Experience Ever in Dealing With Woodbridge Stereo NJ Years ago after sending my Vandersteen Model 3s to California for upgrading, a UPS fork lift operator gashed through the carton, damaging the speaker. I received a courtesy call from Vandersteen to inform me of the damage. They had already filed... | |
| Audioquest colorado sound to bright The HT cables had a very even sound to them frequency response wise. The Colorados were even as well with a greater transparency and bass impact. Not knocking HT, just liked the "clearer window" to the music with the Colorados in my system. YMMV | |
| Decided to change my cd player, suggestions please? @uberwaltz Congratualtions! That moment of pleasantly being shocked is awesome. | |
| Comparing these CD players with my gear... @mgreen In a world with loads of brick and mortar come listen to it establishments what you said would be THE way to go, however in my "neck of the woods" (literally) there are NO audio shops to listen to gear. My last major purchase, Vanderste... | |
| WHAT'S UP WITH MARANTZ? @nonoise The political post my posting referred to appeared just prior to mine and was removed by A'gon. | |
| WHAT'S UP WITH MARANTZ? ugh. For the love of God, let's keep A'Gon politics free! There are plenty other places to express your political leanings. | |
| Audioquest colorado sound to bright I started out with the Columbias. The sound was too diffuse with a weaker bass response. The depth was there but not the punch that you expect from a good kick drum for example. I traded out the Columbias for Colorados and had a more focused sou... | |
| WORST Experience Ever in Dealing With Woodbridge Stereo NJ +1 @jafant Totally agree that we should recognize and celebrate those dealers/manufacturers who go out of their way to satisfy the needs of their customers, providing a positive buying experience. | |
| WORST Experience Ever in Dealing With Woodbridge Stereo NJ OP Question... What does this statement mean from your original post?" They are holding my money hoping they will get refunded via UPS for damaged speakers that clearly were packed well and some genius left the binding post jumpers and grilles in... | |
| Comparing these CD players with my gear... @charles1dad +1 You are right on it. The power supply and analog output stage is where it's really at as regards quality digital sound reproduction. Modwright Instruments Inc. places the emphasis of their modifications right there. The only... | |
| WHAT'S UP WITH MARANTZ? @donjr If you read above, Audio Advisor DOES have the SA10 in Champagne Gold. | |
| Comparing these CD players with my gear... You would do well to consider the Marantz SA8005. $1200 new. Great sounding, well-built stock player that can be upgraded by Dan Wright of Modwright Instruments Inc.. Their "Signature Truth" mod is amazing! | |
| Looking for speaker ideas. Yes on the Vandies. If you get the Model 3A Signature (used)?? you would not really need the subs. at least at first as the 3s go low and have decent bass power. | |
| Idiot trying to upgrade his system - likes the tube sound @tpreaves +1 I am now three days in on listening to my Modwright SA8005. I know when people say things like it is hearing your discs all over again for the first time that it sounds like hyperbole but it just isn't in this case. The great thin... | |
| Decided to change my cd player, suggestions please? For a total of about $3700 you can purchase a Marantz SA8005. You send it to Dan Wright at Modwright for the SIgnature Truth modifications and you will be listening to a true reference player for many thousands less than a comparable stock player... |
