Who is your overall favorite guitarist?
Scofield by a mile, for me. 
High Definition CD or HDCD - What is it exactly?
I think Dusty Vawter of Channel Islands Audio eschews HDCD decoding in his DACS because the HDCD D-A chips don't sound as good as he wants them too.I don't think I'm mis-paraphrasing him - Just another side of the coin to consider.My HDCDs are the... 
VSA VR4 SR or JR as a match to my system and room
Since I complained about not getting a good email response earlier in this thread, I must now say that I called them a few weeks back and got excellent service. I don't know the name of the person, but all questions were answered fully and patient... 
Von scheikert VR4jr what are you using ?
Jdodmead,No definitely do not use the jumper plates. As long as you are biwiring to the lowest posts on the woofer cabinet and the posts on the mid/tweeter cabinet, you are doing what VSR wants.The "top woofer" is not connected in any way to the u... 
Von scheikert VR4jr what are you using ?
Blindjim,"If there is an internal connection of the two bass module drivers... Why then, is there a brass plate on the outside of the bass module ‘apparently’ connecting those two drivers?" Especially if they are hooked up on the inside. I would t... 
Von scheikert VR4jr what are you using ?
Blindjim,I just got off the phone with VonSchweikert, and they confirmed my previous post, in that:1) The upper pair of posts on the woofer module are ONLY connected to the datalink port on the woofer module. They are not connected to any drivers ... 
Can I expect to pay full retail for a new system?
I think it's important to know where you are bargaining from. I am very close to a dealer who just had this happen:Customer (let's just say not American, but from one of those parts of the world that does know how to bargain!)asks for dealer's bes... 
Von scheikert VR4jr what are you using ?
Blindjim,Thanks for your reply. I tried an experiment tonight, just hooking up cables to the upper pair on the woofer module - No sound. I don't think that you are doing anything by hooking up cables to these posts. They're just not connected to a... 
Von scheikert VR4jr what are you using ?
Blindjim,Are you saying that you have cables hooked up the all 3 pairs of posts on each speaker?I find the manual very poorly written as far as wiring goes, especially considering the numerous options.I think the upper set on the bass module is on... 
DAC with Escient Fireball s & FLAC recordings
You did not ask a question or ask for advice. 
VSA VR4 SR or JR as a match to my system and room
I sent an email to VS with specific questions as to set up of my VR4JRs. I got a reply that said sorry, we're too busy to respond to emails. Go ask your dealer. (In not too many words than that).I was suprised to be treated so poorly after hearing... 
Von scheikert VR4jr what are you using ?
(Long - sorry but here goes) I drive mine w/ Channel Islands D-200s. I actually bought my VR4JRs from Dusty at CIAudio - I think he said that they were the same ones used to help voice the D200s.Maybe a diversion here, but I must tell you (all)-I ... 
Review: Krell KAV-300cd CD Player
I borrowed a KAV-300 for a week from a dealer to see if it would replace my new Rotel 1072. While the Krell was definately a better player, I was somewhat suprised in that it was not as superior as I thought it would have been. I think this speaks... 
What is your favorite Chick Corea CD/Album?
I still find the sound quality and music on Romantic Warrier to be fabulous all these years later. There is something magical about the drum sound on this album, and the overall sonic presentation as well.
