| Not Thrilled with Vandersteen 2CE Sigs - where is the first place to work on? Vandersteen speakers are not woolly or veiled, nor are they hard to drive. I once heard a pair of the model 2(something) in a small room driven by Quicksilver monos which used, if I remember correctly, EL34 PP producing 30/40 watts. The resulting ... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? @audio2design, perhaps you are wearing your covid mask too tight and it's cutting off the oxygen supply. | |
| I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what? There is so much great info on the net regarding acoustics and seeing that it is the acoustics of your room that is going to be the final say on what you will hear that I once again encourage you to delve deeper into this fascinating aspect of opt... | |
| I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what? I somehow deleted a long post. I'll try again but keep it short.6 x OC 703 panels will help but not all that noticeable. Buy a bunch more as they will not go to waste.For the biggest impact look at taming bass frequencies which creates acoustic ha... | |

| A move from Harbeth to... Wilson? Richard Vandersteen's designs are extremely good value and are one of audio's best kept secrets. They are capable of entertaining for extended listening periods with a lovely open and musical performance. I have not heard any of the Daedalus range... | |
| I knew room treatments were in my future. Oh and to retain your sanity it's probably best to just ignore ebm. I am sure he is a nice guy when he hasn't forgotten to take his meds. | |
| I knew room treatments were in my future. Good advice here to use REW. Also free is HolmImpulse. I recommend you heed the advice and familiarise yourself with either of these essential tools and read up on what is needed to optimise the room behaviour. Someone suggested contacting a compa... | |

| Parasound's Hint 6's new volume control provides huge sonic advances? @ieales, you state: Photocells are semiconductors & thermally sensitive. So what exactly are you saying? You saying I don't or shouldn't prefer the photocell system?In all your above posts you have criticised whatever has been mentioned, so ... | |
| Parasound's Hint 6's new volume control provides huge sonic advances? Then there is the system employed in 'The Truth' where there are no capacitors, resistors nor potentiometer in the signal path except for the photocell. I have built line-stages using the very good DACT pot and Guido Tent's switched relay system w... | |
