| Best very small Speakers (at any price)? Thank you everybody. This last weekend I got to listen to a pair of Linn Tukans. They sounded pretty good, but I can clearly see (hear) what SDCampbell meant when he said that none of these speakers would "blow me away". sigh ... I did manage to r... | |
| Do I really need to Bi-Wire? Outlier: When I wondered about this question, I wrote to the speaker mfg and they said "yes, biwire is better, thats why we put those connectors on there. Be sure to use the same cable for both top and bottom." So, I would not try the MIT "differe... | |
| Best very small Speakers (at any price)? Hifinut: I understand about the cd player and will probably try to get the 47labs player. I guess its no secret that all the pieces have to be right. Blowing even one piece costs a huge penalty. About the dimensions I gave: those are just a guide ... | |
| Elite bigscreen HDTV or Sony VPL-VW10HT? I agree with Brandon. The Elite has an exquisite picture. An LCD pic cannot compare. The downside is the big box and fixed size. I've owned an Elite for 5 years and everyone who watches has been amazed at the clarity and purity of the picture and ... | |
| Best used class A amp with Wadia 860x I think the Pass Labs Aleph series is truly amazing. My Aleph 4 is a two stage pure class A and since they have been replaced with a newer class a/b line (x series), you can get them for great prices. | |
| BEST REAR PROJECTION TV 50 to 61" I bought a Pioneer Elite rear projection tv after looking at EVERY projection tv, price is no object, and found them to be clearer and richer color than any other, including Sony. Now they offer HD models as well. | |
| MY Sidewinder AC cord progress: I have yet to try all of the advice I've been given, but with two Snakes, an NBS, and Electraglide's coming in I'll know more in a few weeks. What I've been told: Snakes are wonderful for front end but not for the Power Amp. Most common recommenda... | |
| DVD player with excellent CD quality Anybody out there own a Proceed MDT? Any feedback about this product? thanks | |
| Amp stands- Do they work? I'm surprised that noone has mentioned what their Floor is. It seems to me that flooring would have a huge effect on whether a stand would make a difference. I have my ML amp sitting on a bladder type device on the floor, but my floor is saltillo ... | |
| Fellow Vandersteen Owners Whoa!!! I think you will change the WHOLE SOUND of the speaker if you take off the sock/frame and add your own enclosure. Thats a complete science in itself: the effects of the cabinet. The frame/fabric is an acoustically invisible cosmetic coveru... | |
| Fellow Vandersteen Owners I suggest you actually phone Vandersteen Audio and ask Rick. I have called them 3 times in the last few years and always got to talk to Rick (or his son, I think). Just ask for technical support. Anyhow, when the model 3 was first introduced, Rick... | |
| What's a DAC? And Do I Need One? Kurt, One of the single most significant changes I made to my system was adding an outboard DAC to my system. Its surprising how poor most of the built-in DACs are. Does your changer have a digital out (RCA or optical)? If so, you can buy a DAC, h... |
