| The "Digital" listening experience Sorry ptss I'm confused about your original question. What do you mean when you say "listening to digital without adequate isolation"? | |
| Recommendation for Improvement over McCormack DNA-225 @audio717 What brand and quality level of fuses did Steve put in your amp? | |
| Recommendation for Improvement over McCormack DNA-225 @dwolek Agree with audio717. The McCormack basic amp is a solid well laid out design. Steve McCormack is easy to talk to. If you call him and explain your sonic goals for your current amp I am confident he can come up with a reasonable course ... | |

Why would anyone just plop a component of their system on the floor?One thing that my many years in this hobby have taught me is that vibration and resonance is the enemy of good ... | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade As a long time 3A Signature owner who is listening to Treo CT for the past two months. The resolution, smoothness of texture and dynamic drive of the Treos put them in another league entirely from the 3A Sigs. However, I have two 2wq subwoofers ... | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade @gregorycarlson I'm curious...How long have you had your 3A Sigs. and did you buy them new? | |
| Looking to buy floor standing speakers in $1000 per speaker range. +5 for Vandersteen 1C. Heard Doug Mcleod through them at Audio Connection. He was right there in the room giving us our own personal performance. I am a long term Vandersteen owner but never owned model 1s. The 1C is a true musically satisfyin... | |

| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines cottguy Have you given any consideration to a top flight integrated amp? One chassis rather than two and you eliminate a pair of interconnects. Lots of good vibes on this forum for the Rogue Audio Pharaoh integrated amp. It has 12AU7 tubes in ... |
