| Anvil Turntables Alloy Convertible turntable with new magnetic footer I think they are a really smart design and also clearly audibly effective under the turntable. I have also ordered more to place under other components. | |

| Thoughts on Vandersteen V2W Video Subwoofer I use one to excellent effect on a 5.1 system with 1C mains, VCC-2 center and VSM-1 surrounds. Integrates perfect using an Odyssey Multeq XT chip on my A/V receiver. | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT What do you experienced Vandy aficionados hear in the Quatro CT that is different than the Quatro Wood? Better imaging? Less grain? What? | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT Agreed nrenter. I started this post with the typical fever of someone looking to get a new piece of gear. I ended up finding a pair of almost new Quattro Wood (non-CT) in Ebony about 12 months ago. I've been really enjoying them. I really like... | |
| Is New Vinyl Exempt from Loudness Wars? Interesting question. Limiting is used to make a recording sound loud and avoid distortion on digital recordings. Many modern LPs are cut from the same limited masters used for the digital release. But not all. | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT Here's an update. Bought a pair of demo Quatro (not-CT) from a dealer in OH. They are getting settled in and already sound great. I'll use the Vandertones test files and my SPL meter to adjust the subs. Wonder if Vandersteen will offer an upgrade ... | |
| Does anyone else have an "ANVIL Turntable"??? I have had the Anvil Convertible for 2 years. Jollypop red plinth and motor unit. Thing of beauty. I also have an alloy platform that Bruce designed for even more vibration control an mass. I use a Jelco 750D with a Zu-103R and a ZYX Yatra. I swap... | |
| Theta Miles owners: Using preamp or direct? I agree. The only reason to use a pre with the Miles is if you have other sources to switch. The Miles was a great CDP! | |
| Vandersteen 5a Carbons I believe Anthony Cordesman (Absolute Sound) uses a pair of 5 Carbons as one of his references. | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT I moved to Ann Arbor in 2001. Overture did not carry Vandersteens then, I drove out to Royal Oak to listen to them (Audio Dimensions). I'll clarify the timelines with Overture if I ever have time to audition the Quatros! I'll report back! | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT Yeah Tomryan, I contacted them yesterday. Keith told me they have been a Vandersteen dealer for a year and a half. I have not been to their new location. I was pretty turned off to Overture after an experience I had there trying to buy a Linn Akur... | |
| Pass XA 30.5 with Revel F 208 ? I am using the XA 30.5 with the Legacy Audio Focus SE in a 15' x 22' room. Great full range speaker, 94 db efficiency. Ony rarely do I see the needle start moving. | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT Thanks Tomryan! I had no idea Overture was carrying Vandersteen. I will check them out and try to get a demo. One of my buddies had Thiel 3.6 powered by Jef Rowland electronics when I had my Vandy 2Ci's. Never wanted to listen too much to the Thie... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT I'm a Packer fan, grew up I'm WI. Don't care for the Lions. Excited that my local university team just hired a new coach from the NFL... |
