| Virgo user need advice for matching subwoofer? I have owned the REL storm and have two audio physics lunas. The REL is a fine sub but the Luna is much better. I haven't heard the Rhea but I am sure it is another step up. I got the Luna's because I wanted stereo subs and cost wise and size wise... | |

| Seeking advice re: complex power conditioning SoundApplication works well for me creats no heat uses no power. | |
| Shearwater efficiency? I haven't owned Shearwaters but I have owned hot rod kestrels and hot rod herons. They were both very easy to drive as I believe the Shearwaters are. I think I would find another salesman to get advice from. The Kestrels and I understand, the Shea... | |
| CD Player Modifications. Is it worth the ? Sean is right. It can make a big difference but I don't think the platform you have is something I would invest a lot of money in. I have seen Audio Note CD2's go for $500 to $600 used and I think you would be way ahead with something like that ov... | |
| Musical Design Pre Amp I have been pretty impressed with my musical design pre amp. I also found John who is Musical Design to be very responsive. Why don't you give him a call or email? | |
| Where can I buy Monitor Audio speakers on the web? I think Natalie has a point. I am not commenting On Monitor because I have not heard them. I am sure most of us would agree it is not a good idea to buy a speaker we haven't heard. It doesn't make a difference who recommends what, you really have ... | |
| Cabling ideas for Meadowlark Kestrals? I am using Nordost blue heaven and they work pretty well. Since these are biwired and a 4 meter run in a second system I am a little constrained on my choices for $ reasons. I saw a pair of shotgunned Nirvans on the site the other day and they wou... | |
| What self powered speakers of my PC? Ed is right the AE Aegos are pretty incredible. You can also plug a cheap cd player into them and bypass your sound card. They are excellent. | |
| Component Video Cables Canare work very well. Especialy the larger diameter ones don't have the number at the moment. | |

| Recommendations Needed: Upgrading from ARC CD-1 I didn't want to throw my two bits in on speakers since I don't know the Vandersteen sound real well. Karls has a good list particuarly the meadowlark but I would also add Alon. I am into single ended now so don't have my ARC stuff anymore but the... | |
| Recommendations Needed: Upgrading from ARC CD-1 Kinsekd is right many things can be done to twek a cd1 not to mention a power cord. But I have to say again the difference between a vt60 and a vt100 is huge. Not just watts but quality. We all have our favorite i/c's and cables and they certainly... | |
| Recommendations Needed: Upgrading from ARC CD-1 I agree with alberporter the ARC cd-1 is an excellent cdp. I would say your vt-60 is a much weaker spot in the chain than the cd-1. My first priority would be going to a vt-100 if you have upgrade money. You were talking in terms of 3K for a cdp a... | |
| 1700 on a whole system-could I have done better? I am very familiar with the speakers and that is a killer deal. Probably hard to get a better integrated amp for the price. Haven't heard the digital pieces but you can get an audio note cd 2 for $600 or less used and that is one nice player. Make... |
