| Affordable Power Cords OK, I've decided to put this to the test myself. I have just purchased a couple of VD David PCs to try with my BAT VK500. I'll report myself when I get them but apparently it will be several weeks before I receive them. I intend to try them with m... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4JR Bi-Wire This question has been raised with respect to VS speakers regularly here. I have the VR5 and chose, for now, to use two runs of cable (Audio Art SC5, cheap, flexible and easy on the ears). I went this way as VSA stated rather bluntly that it was t... | |
| Affordable Power Cords Interesting comments, Photon 46 and Jimman, thank you both. Let me react in kind, I hope, in the spirit of healthy discussion.I'd never just buy cords that reviewed well, but if I found one that truly elevated my sound I would be inclined to repla... | |
| best rock voices And speaking of Purple, Glenn Hughes can still wail with the best (though only Gillan can deliver Child in Time, for sure) | |
| Affordable Power Cords I've been playing around with some PS Audio cords (Plus and Prelude) and a couple of MAC cords (HC and Source). I have a very hard time hearing any significant difference between any of these on my Denon/PS Audio/BAT/Von S set up. Now I note that ... | |
| Copland DRC205 digital room correction Thanks all. Since I don't have a tape loop in my pre this is looking more problematic since I listen to both vinyl and digital. Can the Copland only handle one input? | |
| Speaker cables for Von Schweikert VR5SE For update, I am running these now with double runs (shotgun) of Audio Art SC5, so far so good, probably better than my self-terminated 12awg. Better in that there appears to be more detail but probably less pronounced bass (leaner but more discer... | |
| Copland DRC205 digital room correction Is there a US distributor or outlet for this product? My searching only turns up the Canadian site or Copland's home in Denmark. I confess, for the price and ease of set up, this is a most intriguing product. Do most of you place it before/after t... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-5 SE vs Eggleston Andra II vs Av Hi Audiosu,Since nobody has bitten on this yet I thought I'd give you some of my experience with these, for what it's worth. I have heard both the VS and the Andra2 and currently own a new pair of the Vr5SE, so I guess that shows which way I lean.... | |
| Element Cables vs Signal Cable Also, the Element Cables, if I read correctly, are all 'cryogenically' treated....which may or may not mean much but it might distinguish the two companies. | |
| Biamping with tubes and SS: Input sensitivity key? I'm ovbviously coming to this late but it's an issue also of interest to me. I have a BAT VK 500 that I am exploring using in a biamp mode with a suitable BAT tube amp. After asking BAT directly, I was told by them (as others have pointed out here... | |
| Anyone use Audiogon "Wanted" Ads Success? I had an interesting experience with a recent wanted ad for a pair of speakers. Within a day of posting, 2 pairs listed for sale out of the blue, had not seen a pair for months on the board. Then one of these sellers, after I contacted him, change... | |
| Austin, TX Thank you - that's a generous offer -- if I can make it, I will. Saturdays are not great for me as I have a young son but I'd love to meet some fellow audiophiles. | |
| Austin, TX You might mean Brian at Sound Mind Audio -- on Anderson Sq near 183. Great guy, sells Nottingham tables. Definitely worth talking too, he loves music and gear and will not send you wrong. Casey at Ne Plus Ultra also sells very high end stuff and h... | |
| Did I kill my stylus? Been there, done that....no harm done save, as others mentioned, you aged your stylus without commensurate pleasure |
