| Vandersteen 5a Carbons Pal, My thing is space-robbing panels (Sound Labs, Analysis Audio) have a lot strengths, a greatly reduced down side and come in to their own at that budget. | |
| Fess Up How much have you spent on this Hobby?? The issue with investing your money instead of spending it on audio is that audio equipment inflation very likely outstrips the return on investment! The responsible thing is buy more stuff. | |
| JC1 upgrade to Lamm M2.2 or dartzeel 108B or Ayre? Lesser known, I heard BSC (Bully Sound Company) class A amps with Harbeth's 30.1. They were awesome. | |
| Room treatment Fiber glass is well known to be good at converting acoustic energy in to heat. The limtiation of that type of treatment is that the wavelengths that are actually absorbed is a function of the panel's thickness. That is an issue for bass frequencie... | |
| Vandersteen 5a Carbons Yeah, I've heard vandersteens a number of times including Richard vandersteen's tour of dealers, which was cool of him to do. They do a good job marketing and putting the speakers out there. Relatively easy to audition, in America at least. | |
| FYI: Audeze robbed $250K worth of gear stolen That's terrible. Great headphones. Good thing to know, so I don't buy any at a discount. | |
| Vandersteen 5a Carbons The design and features of the top Vandersteen models are fantastic; they are very adjustable and livable (but heavy) like the hybrid Martin Logans. At their price, the 5As are less compromised than the Summits. Short sound but they are coherent a... | |

| Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund? To Steve's (Sjy425) 5/20 post:I talked to Chris Thornton and he dissuaded me from the quiet core as an upgrade for a two year old SP10mk2 I ordered. This was in the context of price/performance. He was more keen on the platter change. | |
| High End Audio Market Oppertunities Not sure what this is about. I'll say for fun that I am interested in hard drive music. I do not like fiddling with computers an do not want to use a lot of rack space. Something like a Sony HAP-Z1ES with a CD slot with auto ripping plus digital o... | |
| Crazy Cardas? If you understand the principal (not soundstage shape?) then you can answer your question. The dimensions can be manipulated using the ratio as Cardas has done. Sanders Sound has different approach; I hear so do others with using small asymmetry f... | |
| YG Carmels vs Rockport Atrias I also have also only head Carmel. That is a tough room. I do not know if I would push it with a (I assume ported) three-way. Maybe alya is more appropriate, but a small room is going to cap the performance of either speaker. Raidho X1 is in my op... | |
| Dynaudio, Devore Orangutan, or Harbeth For those who may subscribe to Devore Orangutans, the O96 with SET is the captivating concoction. Devore has showed 93s, 96s, Naim and SETs at shows. I would listen to that before investing in any other combination. | |
| Can headphones ever be as good as high end stereo? The upside of your situation is the recent incease in options of high-end headphones and amps; Stax has more competition. I tried a few at axpona and was really impressed with Audeze LCD-3. The downside is the presentation of headphones is in one'... |
