The Hidden Gem at Capital Audio Fest (CAF) 2023!
Bouncehit I have to agree with you they had a very engaging room. My favorite thing to do at this event is to walk into each room for a short snippet of listen and figure out which room I want to go back and hear. I went back to Endows Audio's 7... 
Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference?
"Speaker cables don’t make a difference?"Ever single speaker cable I have ever heard made a difference. It's the Speakers without cables that don't make a difference.OMG I kill myself, now back to my drinking. 
Oppo Ceasing production
I just read this today and ordered two UDP-203's. I wanted a 203 & 205 but I'm not paying those kind of prices. Anyway I was in such a hurry messed up my ordered and had to place a duplicate order. Oppo called to confirm that I had placed two ... 
Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade
wlutke- I agree with you, I like my 3A Sig's but after reading what hifiman wrote I will look into the Treo's and Quatros. My other thought was if the sound of those don't tickle my fancy then I would look into the original 5's. I'm thinking it wo...

TT Speed Control/ Phoenix Roadrunner and Eagle Review
MoryogaI use the Phoenix/Roadrunner combination on my VPI HW-19 MkIV, it makes a very nice improvement. I really enjoy the fact that I can look over and see where the platter RPM is currently at. Come to think of it I’ve been looking over less and... 
Recommend a passive preamp route
Yon might also want to consider a McCormack Micro Line Drive (MLD), its a little more than you are looking for but offers a lot more in return. Its a passive preamp with the option of an active output that is adjustable from +1 to +6 db of gain. T... 
McCormack SMC Audio upgrades: how good are they?
I had this same thump with a pair of DNA-1 Golds that were connected in a vertical bi-amp configuration to my Vandersteen 3A Sig's. I called Steve to discuss this and he said there shouldn't be any problems. Four years later I had a pair of 0.5's ... 
Stillpoints LP Isolator Record Weight
SLAW"Wow! I was listening to the 1st pressing of Jimmy Page/Robert Plant "No Quarter", (which is an excellent sounding lp), and since it was in need of flattening, I put the Stillpoints LP isolator onto the top of my McCormack DNA 225 (Platinum) t... 
Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade
Here we go found it this morning while reading."The Treo works fine with a pair of Vandersteen subs. I used them that way for almost a year until I sold the Treos the first of the month. With all five of the amps I tried it with it needed to be ru...

Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles?
Dave03hd, NstigatorI'm new to the Dayton area, still getting my house unpacked and working to get my room set-up done. I would be willing to meet up with you guys once all is settled, maybe even before that. Let me know what you think. 
Vandersteen 2CE v NHT 2.5?? or ??
I currently have the 2.5's, before the metal dome tweeter, and Vandy 3A Sig. I have to agree with the comments about the hi-fi sounding of the 2.5's but with proper room placement and careful component selection some of this can be eliminated. One... 
Goodbye Sonos, hello ????
TboooeWhile browsing thru the forum I found your thread and started reading, since you already have a couple HTPC's and have found the joy of using JRiver and JRemote I thought you might enjoy reading thru another way of implementing your HTPC's.H...
