| Lacking Soundstage - Vandersteen 2C Daverz, Thanks for the info, I checked the 2C manual and nothing was mentioned about the tilt, I know the 2CE manual does talk about tilt, do you think the tilt logic applies to 2C also?Thanks | |
| Lacking Soundstage - Vandersteen 2C Thank you All very much for the precious tips. I'll first try setting the speakers as far apart as possible as suggested by Mofimadness, Hifitime and Unsound, then I would try Tbromgard's suggestion to pinpoint wave reflection points on the wall. ... | |
| Lacking Soundstage - Vandersteen 2C Guys, Thank you very much for the responses. The room dimensions are 8' x 14'. But the speakers can only be placed against the shorter wall. Now I can stretch the distance between the speakers to about 6 ft but the right speaker will then be too c... | |
| Sound quality degraded with phono-stage in path Thanks, Miracle, the gain range on this pre is 26db-53db, I'll try 26db setting and see. Also, can you suggest a cartridge upgrade from what I have now? Correction I have a Rega P2. | |

| Do all toroidal transformers hum? Thank You all for the great advices. Just want to make sure that the hum is not going to damage anything (I'm new to this stuff,so please pardon my ignorance). The DK does have covers on it's transformers. | |
| Do all toroidal transformers hum? Thank you Stanwal and Tbg, that was informative. The funny thing is that I had Denon POA 2400 (200W/channel) not a sign of hum, but the DK does have a faint hum. I guess I have to live with it as it's not audible 3 inches away from the amp. The De... | |
| Do all toroidal transformers hum? Thank you all for the responses, so you think most of the amps carry mediocre trannys?Regards | |
| Need advice on amp to drive Vandersteen 2Cs Also, the reason I'm looking for an integrated is phono stage. I only listen to vinyl, so it's essential to have a phono stage, my budget at won't permit me to have a tube pre and a tube power. |
