| Importance of Power Conditioner? I went with a BPT 2 with a dedicated line and it does make a substantial difference in both audio and video. | |
| Upgrade from Jolida JD-100A I live in Georgia but grew up in Maine (near Sugarloaf). | |
| Upgrade from Jolida JD-100A I took the plunge and ordered an AA Prima today! I'll let you know how it goes when I get it in a few weeks. | |
| How do you get to listen to high end speakers? Part of the fun, and sometimes the frustration, of this hobby/addiction is the colorful characters that you end up dealing with. Some are awesome, and others don't seem to give a flip if they ever make another sale to another "idiot" ever again. I... | |
| Upgrade from Jolida JD-100A Howard,Thanks for your thoughtful response. It sure is interesting when it comes down to the wire on a decision like this, i think it can be close because the differences may be so subtle. I just dropped the $ bomb on the wife and after the dust c... | |
| Upgrade from Jolida JD-100A Boa, you mentioned in your original post that the Jolida was open and non-fatiguing. How is your AAP comparing in that regard and overall what are your other impressions. I have not heard the AA Prima, but based on the "buzz" and your post, it see... | |
| Steel shot Did you remove any of the fill material before adding the lead shot? I could only get about 30#s into each speaker. It really helped tighten things up, but I am wondering if I should have removed some of the fill material to make more room? | |
| How often to Audiophiles upgrade their equipment? I was in a high-end shop the other day and this guy comes in asking about a $7K plasma. He was asking about financing options, and mentioned to the sales guy that he had maxed out his credit cards. You could tell that this poor soul had lust in hi... | |
| Problems with U.S. Customs - Watch Out If you were on vacation and bought a peice of audio equipment to bring back, how much would one have to pay in duty? | |
| Subwoofer and Von Schweikert 4 series I have the 4jr's and the VR-S/1 sub and only use the sub when listening to HT. No need for the sub with music. I have experimented a little but I like it better with the sub off for music. | |
| Help wanted choosing speakers and subwoofer The dealer that I went to did not have the Vandy 3A, just the 2ce, which I did want to hear but did not have the opportunity. Both the 2ce and the Thiels (both 1.6 and big brother) sounded a bit dead to my ear, flat. The dealer where I listened wa... | |
| Got my very first system. What's my next move? It is certainly practical to gain a good bit of experience and be able to find what you like and don't before making a purchasing leap. It seems though that a good power conditioner would be a help in this cause and also be a good investment. That... | |
| Help wanted choosing speakers and subwoofer In upgrading my speakers, I wanted to listen to a lot more music in multi-channel SACD and wanted more soundstage and imaging with matching and integration. I listened to a lot of speakers, B&W, Tannoy, Thiel, Sonus Faber, Monitor Audio, and V... | |
| Help wanted choosing speakers and subwoofer Check out von schweikert, they have some package deals that are pretty good www.vonschweikert.com. I run a complete package with VR4JRs as mains, and VR1s as rears and the matching center and sub. I am sure that using VR2s would be great. The Sunf... | |
| $2500 amp and pre/pro Since you mentioned sunfire, you may want to consider the Ultimate Receiver, it is the TGIII pre/pro w/ 7 200W amps (7.1 or multi-room option). It is very nice and if you look hard, I bet you could grab one for $3K. It gives you the option to go s... |
