| Vandersteen 5 vs Model 2c/2wq Combo Ok guys Chaskelljr2001, brings up some interesting questions.My direct experience with the 3's is limited. They were not introduced until after I got out of the dealership where I sold Vandersteen(I do know a bit about the Model 4 first hand thoug... | |
| Transitioning: back to solid state.... Viggen, Doh!The pre is simimilar to an LS9(no slouch, nice and smooth and follows in the tracks of the well resprcted LS3) if I am not mistaken. I must have gotten the direct thing mixed up with the new SS amp and the rest of this stuff in this th... | |
| Transitioning: back to solid state.... Viggen, the CA50 has a SOLID STATE pre amp in it! So if you are talking about going direct into the CA50, you are bypassing the pre amp? Just some Junior moment? | |
| Tube reviews for C/J Premier 17? This isn,t an answer to your question but it brings to mind a question I have had for a while. There seems to be new and great versions of the 12ax7 from both Sovtek and Electro Harmonix(with is a division of Sovtek). Why no new 6922's? I would lo... | |
| LP12 Setup: Dead & Lifeless: Where's the air? Is the Dynavector new or used? A new cartridge will take some time to break in. Sean is right about loading and the rest. It may just need some time to wake up! | |
| Albertporter only needs 50 Day thirteen.Thirteen IS a lucky number! Today it sounds amazing. Soundstage is vast! Detail is intricate and layered. The bass is much better, with much of the weight and power back with a smoother transition from the mid bass down. I have no com... | |
| Transitioning: back to solid state.... Sorry Viggen, I guess I wouldn't mind the lowest of the low in the Porsche line up. The lowest ARC(which I am not sure is true or even matters)is still high performance stuff.John! is right about the Svetlana 6550c and "just say no to NOS". Svetla... | |
| Well Tempered Labs owners do you use a platter mat Thanks Ts, Is it anything you have ever though about for your table. What started me thinking about it was seeing the None-Felt mat and seeing that some people use mats on acrylic platters on other table brands like the ClearAudio's and VPI's. | |
| Transitioning: back to solid state.... Viggen,such disrespectful remarks about the CA50. So it didn't get reviewed by the big glossy mags, and does not seem to fit into the current word of audiophile high fashion. But I do think you sell this thing short. It's a VT50 with a smaller pow... | |
| Albertporter only needs 50 Day twelve.Today is much like yesterday. The bass is slightly firmer and deeper than even yesterday. I hope I am almost 1/2 way home. They are starting to sound great!Btstrg, you lucky dog. A cable burner is a luxury item I don't have acess to. I ... | |
| Albertporter only needs 50 Day eleven.Good news to report today. The bass is slowly developing back to its former self. The punch and weight are starting to return. I turned the sub back off once again this morning and it is almost back to the setting where it was prior to ... | |
| Albertporter only needs 50 Dill thanks,I did polish the copper romex ends with Simichrome(very similar to Flitz) and then cleaned that off with Cramolin and then wiped that off. I Didn't mess with the outlets other than wipeing them clean as I was not sure how the bare copp... | |
| Vandersteen 5 vs Model 2c/2wq Combo No one seems to like the Vandersteen 1c around here? If you have a budget crunch they are one of the best values in speakers under the price of 2's and sell for real bargain prices here on Agon. There is a pair of 1b's on now for $325, and 1c's ca... | |
| Albertporter only needs 50 Day ten.Not much change from yesterday. Maybe this is a good sign. I listened quite a while last night and the good things are very good, space, the final frontier! The bass is still all wrong, down in level quite a bit,lacks slam and is still con... | |
| Modify/Tweak Monster Cable HTS-2500 conditioner? Perhaps some cryo'd Hubbell outlets like the ones from Virtual Dynamics would be a good choice. they have some 15 amp units that are not too bad at around $35 and are run on a cable cooker for some burn in.(cryo seems to need a long burn in otherw... |
