| Mytek Brooklyn Bridge II with Roon Core coming in June! I just tried to look at their website and there is a certificate error giving me a warning not to proceed to the site. So, I can't see if it's online for sale yet! | |
| Help! Trying to choose between 2 integrateds that I haven't heard to pair w/Vandersteens Thanks, Jim tomic601 I lived in MT for 12 years after LA, so the big city is only a place to visit for me now... I've been ruined by smaller towns. I could probably live in parts of San Diego, if I could afford it. Shoulda never left SD :(There ... | |

| Help! Trying to choose between 2 integrateds that I haven't heard to pair w/Vandersteens OK, a hypothetical for anyone not bored with my questions!WOULD YOU upgrade to TREO CTs first, and keep the front end I have for now (my Odyssey Khartago amp is well-regarded and sounds good)ORUpgrade to the Aesthetix Mimas (for example, or the Ay... | |
| Help! Trying to choose between 2 integrateds that I haven't heard to pair w/Vandersteens tomic601 - I live in Port Angeles, 2.5 hours W of Seattle. I used to live in north county San Diego for 10 years (until the mid-80s, then LA for 16 yrs), and have shopped at Stereo Unltd. I talked to Ray not long ago, because my pal in Calsbad/Enc... | |
| Help! Trying to choose between 2 integrateds that I haven't heard to pair w/Vandersteens wlutke5Your speakers got a glowing review! Do you love them? I love the Vandy sound, but ponder what I would do if I had $10-20k for speakers? Quatro CT? Or? I also dream of some really efficient (>93db) speakers with which to drive a low powe... | |
| Help! Trying to choose between 2 integrateds that I haven't heard to pair w/Vandersteens Thanks, Jim tomic601. I recall that you’ve set up 2 systems with the Mimas and Treo CTs (which I still want, and almost got used, a 1 year old mint pair for $6k and then I dawdled and missed it), and that’s one reason I became Mimas-curious. So yo... | |
| Help! Trying to choose between 2 integrateds that I haven't heard to pair w/Vandersteens Thanks, mdemaioI’ve spoken to John... he’s great. He loves the Mimas, btw. He also love Ayre and Belles, depending on budget. | |
| Help! Trying to choose between 2 integrateds that I haven't heard to pair w/Vandersteens wlutke I've thought about Vandersteen Treo CTs (I love the Vandy sound), but would miss the bass extension. They are excellent, as are some others in that $8-12k range. That opens a can of worms...bringing up the entire system to the next level! ... | |
| Help! Trying to choose between 2 integrateds that I haven't heard to pair w/Vandersteens I've been reading up on the Supratek Chardonnay, and it sounds like an amazing preamp and value. He's doing a blog again. http://supratekaudio.blogspot.com/ | |

| What Integrated Amp do You use Hi tomic601 Re the AESTHETIX MIMAS ... I am seriously considering that integrated (my speakers are the newest Vandy 2CE Sig III).I’m considering getting their DAC in it, but I also am intrigued by the Holo Spring 3 and the Denafrips Pontus 2, or m... | |
| Vandersteen 1C to 3A Signature I've heard good things about the Ohm. In that form factor, the speaker I would audition if I wanted something other than the Vandersteens (front firing), would be the Larsens. Larsen 6 or 8. I say that only because of intriguing reviews and word o... | |
| Sad News-- Nancy Griffith Has Passed I'm sad. I can't even guess how many times I have played "Other Voices, Other Rooms" ... probably a thousand. I listen to it at least once a week. Her voice was magical, and she was a wonderful songwriter too. 68 is so young, and since I am about ... | |
| Vandersteen 1C to 3A Signature I auditioned the Treo CT and the newest 2CE Signature III against each other for a long time, and chose the new 2CE to replace a 20 year old pair. At the time I was considering a like-new pair of Treo CTs (1 year old, $6000), and I still second-gu... |
