| Calling all Von Schweikert VR-9 owners Andy,I'm getting some left channel transformer hum audible at my chair 12 feet away. Other db99 owner's have told me their speakers are dead silent. Kevin at VSA told me I could send the transformers back to them but I'm going to ride this out for... | |
| CD player in the $2,500 to $5,000 range Consonance Droplet CDP...you can use without a preamp if you're so inclined.I've owned Wadia, Meridian and BAT..this is by far the best to my ears. | |
| best high sensitivity full range speak under 15k I own db99's powered by 11 watts of tube amp....goes down to 21 hz..that's full range to me and I don't own the supertweeter addon that goes way up. | |

| Another sign SACD is dying Sony and GM are the giants in their markets and continually try to dictate to the market rather than catering to the market...GM=gas hog SUV's,Sony=BetaMax, SACD,Encrypted CD's etc...Only their size seems to keep them going. | |
| Another sign SACD is dying I don't know ifit's dying or not....titles in play aren't generally my cup of tea...haven't ever had a dealer demo that made me think this was a better format than regular cd. Sony is the General Motors of audio. | |
