Scotch? No thanks. Whats the best Vodka.?
Sorry Guys and Gals.I tried the Tito's, really I did. Twice, seriously. Once at my brothers, his bottle, and then last weekend bought a bottle of my own. I only drink vodka on ice, and like a little burn and kick going in, which is why I quit drin... 
Scotch? No thanks. Whats the best Vodka.?
And the winner is!!!!!!!! Gvori. I started this post for fun, but it's also been interesting and educational. I've tried all the popular vodkas on here like Svedka, Ketel 1 (a great vodka), Stoli and all the Russian vodkas like Russian Standard, G... 
B&K Reference amps ... Opinions please
TimtimAs an alternative look for a Soundcraftsmen 5002 on EBay.Killer amps, 250 WPC/8 ohms. Class H Mosfet circuitry. These will handle ANY load. Tight bass, great mids and highs. A superb amp with a wonderful tube like sound, and built like a tan...

My pleasure Ghosthouse. And while I'm at it let me also recommend Apilaszkiewicz's choice, and with a name like that he should know, of Wyborowa. I'd forgotten about Wyborowa, pronounced Vebarova, and how good it really is. We're having fun now, a... 
Vandersteens
AniesenThere is no fair comparison, as the 1C is only half of the 2CE. The 1C is the 8" woofer and the tweeter, while the 2 models all have the woofer and tweeter as well as the 10" accoustic coupler and a 5" midrange. Having heard them all, and h... 
Has anyone tried Clear Day Cables?
BtaudioThankks for the response, but you make it sound as if we should start genuflecting before Mr. Laudati's picture, and petition the Pope to grant him sainthood. 
Speaker audition: a novice’s journey
Well Neal, that reply from Graham Skardon should put you in your place. Seriously though, I wouldn't pay a lot of attention to most of that nonsense. I tend to disregard input from people who tell me that my ears are wrong when I'm the only one li... 
Speaker audition: a novice’s journey
Neal We're having fun now, aren't we. As I said in the past letter, I'm a big Vandersteen fan because you get so much for the money, and they also score so highly on the emotional interactive scale. That is the most important component for me. Spe... 
Scotch? No thanks. Whats the best Vodka.?
A new contender. I heard about Sobieski Polish vodka and read up. It was given a 95 rating in taste tests by the Tasting Institute, better than my favs, Belvedere and 360 Vodka. I hadn't tried it because it seemed too cheap, $10.95 at Mission Spir... 
Totem Model One: Woofer buzzing, help please?
Check to see if the speakers are separating from the surrounds. That happened to two pair of Vandersteen 2CEs That I had. All I had to do was reglue the woofers to the surrounds. Good luck. 
All vandersteen users ?
As a hard core Vandersteen lover and owner all the info I've heard and read about Vandys says that they like power, and I find that to be true. But I've also been told that the quality of the amp is equally important. You want a big power supply a... 
Scotch? No thanks. Whats the best Vodka.?
Vodka fans, very interesting so far, and thanks for responding. A few new ones I've never heard of and intend to investigate. A lot of Ketel One fans (it is spelled Ketel) which is a superior vodka. For those of you who don't know, Ketel One is ol... 
Speaker audition: a novice’s journey
NeilAs you are probably already aware the equipment upstream makes all the difference. To a certain degree the system is only going to sound as good as it's weakest link. I agree with the people who say that speakers are the most important element... 
Vandersteen Model 7: has anyone heard?
Great response from Buconero117, real quality advice. Paraphrased as "I haven't heard them, so I have no idea what they sound like, but I'm going to say no, you'll be disappointed". As far as the packaging I'd say the same about Wilsons. A nice so... 
Anyone with Kyocera CD player experience?
Thanks for the input, but I've found the opposite to be true. I've listened to the 710 mostly, very little to the 610, but I've found the 710 to be superior to Adcom, NAD, Cal Audio, Denon, Sony SACD, Carver, and other contempory mid grade CD play...
