| Tracking Force - Where to set it? Doug, which V15? is it the typeVxMR? Or another version? Yes there are almost always better cartridges out there no matter how much money you just spent. | |
| Mapleshade HeavyHats-Do they work? Audio Research make some that are very afordable that work well for me in my amp and preamp. They fit 6922 size signal utbes.I use the "clear" dampers which require 2 per tube. Still only $8 a tube. | |
| Vibration Isolators Warrenh, When the system is not playing I find that I don't need any of these whatevers you describe. Yes, I do think that primarily bass energy from speakers/subs can cause trouble with electronics( I could be wrong?), especially tube electronics... | |
| MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em Bundy, sit back and watch the fur fly! This is one cable topic that people here at AudioGon are just a polarized on as the dealers. I will state that I am a MIT user. I had a dealer tell me that using these with my equiptment was "like going to ch... | |
| Vibration Isolators I beleive from my experience that they do help. I can't tell you which ones are best as I have not tried them all. I get great results using a Bright Star Air Mass 3. It is an iflaitable air bladder type of base. I have used cone feet between the ... | |
| What is the worst colour of speaker finish to you? Imagine old Vandersteen 4's(size of a small fridge)Grateful Dead style tie died! | |
| What's your favorite speaker finish? Birdseye Maple! I love that stuff! I want some Vandersteen 5's slathered in Birdseye. The Ferrari colors on the Wilsons are cool too but you need the right decor for big red or yellow speakers. | |

| Albertporter only needs 50 Lak, 30 days is a long time to listen to "VERY HARSH". I don't have and none of my audiophile buddies have a cooker. Any sugestions? I could hook them up somewhere else I guess and plug something into them? | |
| Taming/Damping Electrostat Backwave Jamesswei's and Sidssp's sugestions are good ones from my experience with the old CLS's and the old Monoliths. I have owned 3 pair of Maggies as well and they benifit from the same thing. They all like space behind them. The fact that they don't h... | |
| Power requirements for Vandersteen 3A Sig + 2Wq power requirements always depend on the room size, music you play, and how loud you like to play. With that said you CAN get buy with a smaller main amp. How small depends on the things I already mentioned. I use a 45 watt per channel tube amp wit... | |

| Electrical outlet upgrade worth it? Jadem6, I have been interested in hearing from someone who has tried both the WattaGate and the PS audio. Please fill me in on what you have found as these are the two that I have been most interested in. What is the difference that you hear betwe... | |
