Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade
Don't take what I said too seriously, just trying to lighten up a somewhat tense thread. Goes to show how "passionate" we all can be about our hobby.... 
Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade
I could settle this with a third opinion. I will go to a place in Az. that carries Acoustic Zen and listen to the Crescendo's myself! Will report back to you guys when I get a chance to do this.....Should be interesting. 
Review of Legacy Audio Signature SE and dealer Audio Doctor
If people consider Legacy as nothing more that ht speakers, well, they don't know highend or Legacy for that matter. I had owned Legacy for 21 years in various forms of their speakers. A truly great buy in my estimation.,,,,, 
MQA according to new Stereophile "loudness button" and "tweaking EQ in presence region"
emailists,You can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see anywhere in this thread that says you have actually listened to MQA. Most people will tell you if you have not listened to it, you don't have an opinion. Try listening to MQA with your own...

MQA according to new Stereophile "loudness button" and "tweaking EQ in presence region"
As Yoda of Star Wars proclaimed, "You do, or you do not." The same analogy can be said of listening to  MQA. Why do all the nay sayers treat MQA as it were some sort of disease? Give it a listen. Have an open mind. It's not just about resolution. ...

MQA according to new Stereophile "loudness button" and "tweaking EQ in presence region"
I haven't heard a full blown MQA setup, but listening to Tidal's Masters with their version of MQA is quite seductive.Call it a parlor trick or whatever, the sound is still extremely good. Do all recordings sound good with MQA? No, not really, but... 
New Release CD Players $1000 - $1500
To me, the Hegel Mohican got an average review at best with its own internal DAC. A lot of money for a CD player with that kind of review. I guess the proof is in the listening for the prospective buyer. IMO 
I'm selling speakers for the first time and concerned about fraud
My first transaction was selling a Camelot Technologies Lancelot Pro phono preamp. The gentleman was a Dr. of Opthamology. (eye surgeon) He too, was cautious about a transaction with me since I had no feedback at the time. I assumed the responsibi... 
Sub-woofer connection question
Some people want to hear their sub(s) contribute something to the sound. Or in other words, they want to hear the subwoofer to "woof"so to speak. This may be ok for HT, but not really good for accurate 2 channel sound. I have Vandersteen speakers ...
