| Does the Vandersteen 1C Hold Up to Modern Standards? Should be similar to the 2C, which I have had for coming up on 40 years, At least when I was looking back in the day, I was looking at 1C as well. Objectively the 2C rate a 4.4 on the olive scale. So they are still pretty good by modern standards... | |
| Mogami Neglex 2534 microphone balanced ICs Unable to say at the moment if the Wireworld is better as they are with Wireworld being re-terminated to XLR. I expect they will better the Mogami ICs after re-termination. My point, a relatively inexpensive set of XLR interconnects sound very ve... | |
| 聖HIJIRI Users thread @thyname What do you mean? Can you use Google Translate this time around? It’s really very tough to understand anything you write. It is ineffable… | |
| Mogami Neglex 2534 microphone balanced ICs What does it mean in English? Are the XLRs better than the silver RCAs? | |
| Tube Integrated vs Tube Seperates @ozzy62 Would anyone like to translate this into English? Yeah… this: I used Tubes for 50 years . There are no really good ones made or used , 2 small d’s are it , Means: Run 2x class-D monoblocks. I have PL amp, and a different ... | |
| Totally overwhelmed (speakers under $5k) …Of course he is a fan of his own brand's amps… Like a Highlander episode, there can be only one. | |
| Nagra VPS issue Did it get resolved? How does it sound? Who is the dealer? | |
| Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference? So what's the difference? Measurements would be a way to know what the differences are. Flowery words like the Crutchfield quote, “…have it in spades…” sounds a lot like the gardening section review at Home Depot. | |
| PrimaLuna tube amp issue Maybe swap the LHS with the RHS speaker wires. If the bad channel moves then swap the interconnects LHS with RHS. If the bad channel stays put, then it is you speaker. | |
| I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve? a dipole in a ten by ten box, surely…not… Is there dishonour in considering headphones @tomic601 ? | |
| About users with hidden agendas Baby needs a new pair of shoes and the rent is due! :-) @oldhvymec I was hoping to read “alligator shoe”, but I guess not. | |
| Making speakers sound tonally similar with an equalizer @gosta @holmz haha. I'm with you. But why put money, time and efforts into a bad speaker? If you're a diy'er it's another game If one had an either/or choice between radiation pattern and FR, then one can fix FR with a DSP. If the spe... | |
| Mogami 2921 Bi wire vs Canare 4S11 Bi wire Opinions I have only used the Mogami 3104, but I doubt it would be much of a change. (either seems like a solid choice.) I use the wire in the 1-3 configuration rather than the 1-2, only be cause the capacitance is touch lower. Does it matter? Probably no... | |
| What Would Be the Reasoning Behind Leaving Class D Amps On? A stiff back would be a reason to leave them on. To replace a yoga class would be a reason to bend over to turn them on. I'm super curious about this stuff. Ok then,,, just try it both ways for a month. You’ll get people that swear upon stacks... | |
| I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve? It seems like it should be pretty nice as is. I would suggest you buy more albums and just enjoy it for now. |
