| Von Schweikert opinion and help. I really like VSA speakers but they have always marketed just as we see in Ibetuwill's last post, "this speaker is better than competitors selling for $X or $Y". I hope people are savvy enough to do their own auditions to determine relative valuat... | |
| Prevent stylus wear? Doug, I think that with some modifications and tweaks the lift could be suitable for your purposes. Maybe it could even be sound activated? Could a magic eraser application be advisable in that case? | |
| Best $2000-$3000 full range speaker? Devore Nines, a little above the budget but worth itNo affiliation with the sellerhttp://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?spkrfull&1271213129&/Devore-Nine- | |
| Von Schweikert opinion and help. I haven't spent any meaningful time with the 4SR but did own and greatly enjoy the 4JR. VSA with the right gear is awesome. Also, all of my dealings with Albert and VSA were great in terms of help and after the sale customer service to quickly and... | |
| When It All Comes Together-Heaven Imagine what it would sound like with a tube amp? | |
| Integrated with Phono Stage under $10K Congrats Shazam. I heard a very early version of that amp, the DK designs v1 a long time ago. I recall that it had great imaging, incredible headroom. I hope the statement brings you awesome listening enjoyment. | |
| B&W 802N "Also with so many great things people have to say about the 802N's I am wondering why I do not like them."That says it all. | |
| musical sub Audioconnection,I think I understand the point you are making (that if he chooses a 2Wq rather than some other options, it would make it musical). I disagree. Although that is a fantastic sub, I am quite sure that still_learning is dealing with th... | |
| musical sub Adding a sub to your system will not deliver the musicality you seek, you'll just have more bass. | |
| Devore Nines as an upgrade I have the Devore Silverbacks and have auditioned the nines, both are very good speakers. I would say that to perform their best you have to have a fairly precise placement. I have tried many different arrangements and always gravitate back to one... | |
| Integrated with Phono Stage under $10K I have a Vac Avatar Super and it is very good and the phono is a pretty decent MM. As suggested above, you can do better with an outboard phono that is in line with your cartridge choices. At your budget, I think that the new Boulder integrated is... | |
| Black-Eyed-Peas, the future of modern music? I was having this discussion with my 15 year old daughter and we were trying to figure out which bands of the past decade would be hall-of-fame caliber. The BEP/Fergie have a very interesting intermixed style which is awesome on a few of their son... | |
| Prevent stylus wear? I agree swampwalker, there was also another thread from same entity I believe about a tonearm lift. I am not sure why these make it through. | |
| Next upgrade? If the cart is in good shape I would buy records or a vpi 16.5. | |
| Van Halen or Van Hagar I like them both but VH w DLR was a force. There are not many bands that you can distinctly recall when you first heard them but I vividly remember hearing the debut LP and thinking that it was amazing and running out the next day and getting it. ... |
