| Help, My Vandies Sizzle The first thing you need to do is get your owners manual. If you don't have one, download one from Vandersteen's web site. Use the formula they give you and do it exactly like they tell you. That needs to be done regardless of whatever issue you'r... | |
| Kimber Monocle X " I had been using 8TC and tried the Monocle X and was a bit surprised at how similar they were--The Monocle X was better but I was expecting a wider margin. (Rowland Model 10 driving Maggie 1.7i's). "That's probably the perfect amp to use for dri... | |

| Just wondering... "if you aren't doing blind listening tests you are the rightful prey of the snake oil salesmen"Even if that were true (and its not), nobody does them. A lot of people talk about DBT's, but I have yet to see one that's of any use. The ones I have... | |
| Just wondering... " True you need to know what you're doing, but some of us don't and that's where real industry kicks in for mega profits."I'm not buying that one. Nobody's forced to buy expensive, high end audio components. There's absolutely no reason why a begi... | |

| Just wondering... " High End home audio is extremely dishonest business and it's blown like a soap bubble."Only if you don't know what you're doing. If you let someone sell you a 32k dac, you're an idiot. At that level, you need the skills to make the decision your... | |
| Repair Shop in Southern California Is the click coming from the speakers or the amp itself? | |
| Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100 A really good TT in your price range that many people seem to overlook, is the Sota Moonbeam. Sells for about $800 with an arm.

| Just wondering... " $32K DAC sound that different from a $1K DAC?"Yes. | |
| Totem like sound for tube amplification Maybe Audio Physic. Also, Gershman (Idol), ProAc Future series and DeVore come to mind, as well. I've heard all of those with tube amps and they sounded great. | |
| What should be removed What brands do you have access to in Sweden? I know you can get Primare. They make excellent products that should work really well with your speakers. Very underrated company. (At least hear in the US). YBA would also be a very good match. | |
| 800D vs 800 D2 setup? " Mb1, please elaborate more. I have heard them but not for hours on end. You mean, difficult as in tiring?"Before I start, I need to be clear that I'm not bashing B&W. This is just my opinion along with some observations I've noticed over t... |
