Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference?
Why was this thread not started in the " CABLES " section ?  Lots of posts in 10 days here about such a significant, audible improvement to be had, by doing this. I find, isolating all of my cables, mechanically away from floors and walls, and eli... 
Quad ESL service, Electrostatic Solutions or Quads Unlimited ?
Two buddies of mine living in the NY area, and both who happen to own "63s, used Sheldon Stokes to work on their speakers. They both cannot say enough about the positive experiences they both had. Just an fyi.....A Happy and healthy holiday to all.  
SIMPLY AMAZING: Coda Technologies 07x Preamplifier
Not to change directions on the subject of the Coda preamp, or intend to put it down in any way, as I have not heard it, but I own a Luminous Audio passive, top of the line, single ended unit. I prefer it, in my system, to any active line stage I ... 
Time to move UP, speaker-wise...
On another recent thread ( amp thread, I believe ), someone was using a pair of Nuforce STA 200’s in vertical biamp configuration, on his Vandy 2ci sigs ( a fairly new pair ), and is quite happy with the results. Just an fyi. The Klipsch RP 280 F ... 
Need help building my late fathers Audio Setup for Family XMAS dinner.
baldo, where in Florida are you ? I am in central Florida, and if you can make it to me, I am sure I have an amplifier in my collection you can use for this holiday dinner. I have amps with single ended inputs ( rca ), as well as balanced inputs (... 
Need help building my late fathers Audio Setup for Family XMAS dinner.
As above. Hello baldo, and Merry Christmas to you and yours. If your mom listens to the system twice a year, there should be a power amplifier connected to the speakers. But, as your listing of the equipment shows, you are missing the power amp, u... 
Beginner Audiophile. How to chose a right amp? Recommendation for my setup?
The things you are looking for in a sound system, such as a wide soundstage, great 3 D imaging, airy voices, and great details with smooth yet realistic sounds, has more to do with the speakers, the set up between the speakers and your listening s... 
New upper trim level Corvette or seven year old used amps?
My new ( 2nd ) CRV Touring, can transport a pair of Klipsch Lascalas, to, and from, various locations rather easily, with economy, safety, and reliability. Best vehicle for me.......just sayin.....Happy Holidays to all, and....Enjoy ! MrD. 
Suggestions for bookshelf speakers that have great dynamics, budget of $500 used.
You just missed out on a pair of Klipsch Heresy IIs advertised on CL, not far from you, at an asking price of $300. If I did not have so many speakers around, I would have picked them up. They were in very nice shape. I feel I am at a loss, at tha... 
Time to move UP, speaker-wise...
I need to make a correction from above. The Nuforce STA 200 is not a digital amp. It is an AB amp, producing 80wpc, into an 8 ohm load. It uses the same circuit as the JOB, developed by, created by, and licensed by, Goldmund. Lots of available rea... 
Vintage speaker suggestions for Nakamichi stasis system
How large is your room ? How far do you sit from them ? How loud would you like to play them ? What are your listening priorities ( dynamics, soundstaging, tonality, detail, extended bottom end, as some examples ) ? Do you have, or are you able, t... 
Time to move UP, speaker-wise...
The new model Vandy's of yours, are 3K, I believe, if this is what you like. Audionoobie makes the best point....listen to as much as you can. You cannot trust a reviewer, nor another listener, as everyone of us hears differently, and wants differ... 
Need 20 - 25 foot spk cables.
Interesting, that the description section below, states it is 35 ft. 
Suggestions for higher efficiency speakers
I hear the inside of a large horn, in a typical living room environment, and I prefer to be further from them, when listening. What do YOU not understand ? You are like so many other people here......that folks need to like, what you like.....The ... 
Suggestions for higher efficiency speakers
I have not heard the CW IV yet, but don’t have to. I posted a thread back in September, stating they will be an incredible product. I know the in’s and out’s of all the Heritage, as, you know the in’s and out’s of the pro’s.......We are on the sam...
