| Best Cable Match for: Creek 4330SE + Rega Apollo + Vandersteen 2C @rsv4Good point and factually correct. Bill Low of AQ has stated in print that the "idea" for DBS biasing was inspired to RV's battery bias used in the Vandersteen M5-HP crossover.I don't think their relationship invalidates the synergy between A... | |
| Best Cable Match for: Creek 4330SE + Rega Apollo + Vandersteen 2C My 30 years of Vandys verifies what you said about biwiring. Vandersteen's MUST be biwired if you want the best from them. Richard Vandersteen has been insistent about it for as long as I've owned his speakers (30 years). I see no sense in argu... | |
| Best Cable Match for: Creek 4330SE + Rega Apollo + Vandersteen 2C You might check out Audioquest clearance cables available at 50% off at MusicDirect.https://www.musicdirect.com/Search?category=Equipment&specials=Closeout&sort=popularity%7CDESC&page=1&c1=tab-products&c2=grid | |
| Best Cable Match for: Creek 4330SE + Rega Apollo + Vandersteen 2C I've had no experience with Mogami cables. I can, through my own experience, heartily recommend dbs-enabled Audioquest cables. It's a question of which models to consider. My decisions were made based on purity of conductors and quality of diel... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Yea!! Listening rather than obsessing on denial of fact. | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? @dynaquestHave you ever done a listening comparison to divergent types of wires in a highly resolving audio system? In my 40+ years as an audiophile I can honestly say I have, including in blind tests when I had no idea what cable I was listening... | |
| Best reasonably priced SACD player? @rja I can heartily recommend the Marantz SA8005. Always musical as long as the disc you feed it is as well. No upper midrange emphasis so characteristic of many machines in this price range. I admit to preordering mine from Marantz before its USA... | |
| Vandersteen Wow! 4As? Don't often hear about Model 4s. How long have you had them? | |
| Vandersteen @tomic601 +1 Jim is right on here. I had 3A Sigs for about the same time as him. I found keeping them out into the listening room to be critical. If I had them too close to the wall behind them the sound was a bit congested and "rough". They ... | |
| Vandersteeen 2wq (or any sub) in small room @gdnrbobou You can't go wrong calling John R. | |
| Looking for SACD player............ Would anyone care to recommend a reasonably priced power cord for the Modwright 9.0 outboard power supply? | |
| High Current Outlet for Amps? @cleeds I guess the electrician who willingly installed that line in that outlet was violating code? The building inspector too? Hmmm. | |
| Vandersteeen 2wq (or any sub) in small room @gdnrbob,The 2wq add the ability to adjust the "Q" of the subwoofer. Because the Treo CT has a tight 8" woofer, I have the "Q" setting of my subs. set to the minimum setting (Tightest) so the response characteristic of the subs. mates best with t... | |
| Vandersteeen 2wq (or any sub) in small room The response characteristic the subs take on from the system amplifier makes for a virtually seamless mating between bass response of main speakers and response from the Vandy subs.The seamless integration of main speakers with the 2wq subs. makes... | |
| High Current Outlet for Amps? @cleeds Commercial and Industrial 30 Amp Flush Mount Dryer Power Receptacle with 3-Wire Non-Grounding,Dude...read what the quote above says...its a DRYER power receptacle. All you do is hook up 10 gauge wire to a 30 amp breaker to a regular powe... |
