| What will 6 feet do, now? All of the above posts are right on. The air is permeated with radio waves and other crap! Think about those metal fillings in your teeth. If you hold your head just right you may be able to pick up Duluth on a clear day! | |
| Modify/Tweak Monster Cable HTS-2500 conditioner? Some great ideas here! Would love to hear about DeKays experiments more. | |
| Vandersteen 5 vs Model 2c/2wq Combo Garfish and John1 are saying what I am in a diffderent way. The very best state of the art stuff in the wrong room with poor set up won't sound like it should. I have a friend who has much more expensive stuff than mine in the wrong room for it. H... | |
| Which tubes? My amp can except El34, 6L6, KT88, an I know the NOS guys will scream bloody murder, but I think that the current crop of Svetlanas and some of the Electro Harmonix tubes are they way to go. A dozen output tubes can be expensive, NOS output tubes are down right precious. El34's will e... | |
| Albertporter only needs 50 Day nine.Better again that yesterday, seems to be a 24 hour cycle between good and bad. It's still a bit weird.What I am begining to understand is that if I listen at fairly moderate levels the sound is wonderful. When I try to get anywhere near a... | |
| Vandersteen 5 vs Model 2c/2wq Combo OK, Judit, roll back the clock about 30 years when I was in High School. Before this I had listened to my brothers system, but this was my first and I remember planning it out for MONTHS; Pioneer PL-71, it was their top of the line($300)direct dri... | |
| Vandersteen 5 vs Model 2c/2wq Combo Scott and I both like to post on these Vandersteeen questions. Scott always makes good points and knows his stuff.We have similar tastes. I have a different view on the answer to this question though. Scott is right that the 2Ce is not a 5. The th... | |
| Which tubes? My amp can except El34, 6L6, KT88, an Kana813, I have been wondering the same thing about the Vandersteen you are talking about, I though it was called the Reference Monitor. We will have to wait and see. Using a high pass filter before the main amp with the 5's(and with the 2Wq, whic... | |
| does the ps audio produce balanced ac power? Yes. Some feel that this may account for it's sound quality more than the re-generation aspects of these units. PS has good info at their site. | |
| Which tubes? My amp can except El34, 6L6, KT88, an Creeper, if you wan't to do some reading about the way the powered woofer on the 5 is set up, the review in "The Absolute Sound" explains it quite well. It can be found at the Vandersteen web site. I realize after some reading myself that the Vand... | |
| Albertporter only needs 50 Lak, I don't know anyone who owns one. If I had known where to lay my hands on one I probably would have gone that route to begin with. I love instant gratification! It has been educational to hear the changes so far. It's interesting and tells me... | |
| Which tubes? My amp can except El34, 6L6, KT88, an Creeper, the Svetlana 6550c is what I use in my amp.It was voiced with those tubes though so I leave well enough alone. I hear that in the right amp the Electro Harmonix 6550 is very good too. But it has to be the right amp! A friend tried them an... | |
| Albertporter only needs 50 Here is a analogy for Albert, It sounds like a black and white infra red photo of the sound of my system, taken through a red filter, then the print was under developed! | |
| Albertporter only needs 50 Day eight.Today it is wafer thin, all of the low end gains are gone. No deffinition at all, just mud! Top end is darker but not bad and the upper mid is gritty as sand. The mid bass is clogged as bad as my drain! Talking power snake here, but not ... | |
| Alon IVs versus Vandersteen 2CE signatures Swklein, I am suprised by your assesment of the 2ce Sig's inability to reproduce percussive sounds, I looked at your system and can't find fault anything. I don't know the sound of your CD player or your cartridge. Do you feel that this is the cas... |
