| hi-end universal players? Has anyone heard the new MCormack universal player? | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4,Jr. I have owned the VR2 for 9 months now. They are the most enjoyable speaker I have ever owned. I love them. Since I can never get enough of all good things audio, I am upgrading to the VR4jr's. My VR2's needed a minimum 100 hours before they starte... | |
| Speakers to consider in the $2200 range You could buy a new pair of Vonschweikert VR-2's for that price. I love mine and chose them over speakers that cost much more. As always, only seriously consider speakers that you can audition yourself. | |
| Any owners of Von Schweikert VR2 in Bay Area Not a Bay area person but I use Kimber 8TC with my VR2's and it works very well. | |
| CD player recs under $2000 to replace Jolida Hereis one recommendation for the McIntosh MCD 205. It is a changer and has very nice playback of redbooks CD's. Well recorded music sounds awesome and poorly recorded discs are eminently listenable. I also own Sony's XA777ES which I use for SACD.... | |
| Upgrading the Source. I second the comment about only seriously considering cdp's that you can demo in your system. It seems as if you are very dileberate in your approach, and you don't want to make any big mistakes. If this is the case then the only way to not regret... | |
| Denon 2900 mod. How does it sound? I would really like to hear from people who have had their 2900 modded by any of the various modding houses. On Audiogon I have heard of three (Underwood, Revelation, Exemplar) and I am sure there are more. This seems like it would be a good threa... | |
| How do the Von Schweikert VR-2's handle loud rock? Great all around speaker. Unprecedented bass at this price level. Allow a full 100 hour break in and definitely fill them with shot or sand. Best speaker I have ever owned. | |
| Why so little discussion about Snell ? My second high-end speaker was Snell Type J (15 years ago). Glad they are still in business. Hope to hear some new ones again someday. | |
| Speaker Recomendation Auditioning is the most important thing. Take the recommendations people give you as a starting point for brands and models to go out and try to audtion yourself. That said, here is one recommendation for the Vonschweikert VR-2. A lovely full-rang... | |
| Are You Happy With 2 Channel SACD? Irishdog: I was under the impression the any SACD release, even multichannel one's, have to include a two-channel DSD layer as well. They may not be hybrids that can play on redbookonly CD players but I was lead to believe (in a previous thread he... | |
| Are You Happy With 2 Channel SACD? I have a multichannel SACD player (Sony XA777ES) but I have a 2-channel system. I am enjoying it thoroughly! | |
| After 5 years, format war? What format war? MY rationalization: Part of being an audiophile is playing the percentages. Many of us have our systems tweaked enought that any small change (isolation platforms, power conditioning, new cables, room treatments, etc.) alters the sound of our syst... | |
| McIntosh MCD-205 Changer? Congratulations and Enjoy! | |
| Best overall Speakers for $2,500.00 or less, New? Here is one vote for the Vonschweikert VR-2. Absolutely amazing full range speaker that lists for $2500 but can be had for less. Best speaker I have heard in this price range. Listen if you can, before you buy anything. Good Luck, |
