| PS audio PWD MK2 a real upgrade from MKI? I upgraded my PWD and have been quite happy with it. The upgrade was fairly simple and the sound is a little cleaner, more three dimensional, and relaxed. Not a huge improvement, but a definite upgrade. I got the upgrade at the "introductory" pric... | |
| Vandersteen Amp? Richard sure is moving upscale! Read he's working on a Model 9 speaker too. Waaaaay over my budget. I thought I was doing good with Model 5's, some day I'll hear the 7's and see how far behind I really am.... | |
| Jagger gets a real job, finally. Many people are WAY overpaid for what they do, my mind jumps immediately to sports and entertainment, and others are way underpaid, such as those who give their life to protect our country. But no one said life (or compensation) was fair .... | |
| Admiral Television? I second Tom Verlaine, mainly because he is the "lead" of Television (the band). I couldn't find anything to back this up on the internet, but it makes some sense. | |
| setting up vandersteen 5a To do it like Vandersteen recommends go to the Vandersteen website, click on "Technical Info", then click on the "Vandertones" icon at the bottom of the page. These are supposed to be the "special" tracks that Richard gives his dealers. There are ... | |
| Vandersteen Model 5 speakers Absolutely need some sort of high pass, without them damage to the subwoofer is sure to follow. Richard strongly recommends using the Model 5 filters, however you can use the X series filters (commonly used with 2Wq subwoofers), a home made substi... | |
| Audio Research Corp Ref 5 SE Jonathan Valin recently reviewed the Ref Phono 2 SE in Playback magazine. Of course he found it much better than the base version. I'll never make my own comparison since that's way more money ($12,995) than I'll ever pay for a phono stage. I trie... | |
| Good Tube Integrated w/ Quatros Since no one has responded yet I will give you one piece of information. First I am assuming you are talking about Vandersteen Quatros. Assuming that is correct, you will be using a filter in line between the preamp amd amp in order to accomodate ... | |
| Outer Perimeter Ring power demands VPI offers a outer ring for most of their turntables, unless your ring is substantially heavier I see no reason why the SDS would have an issue with it. I have an Aries with the VPI ring and SDS and have not had a problem. There are numerous other... | |
| Big upgrade So where was the TV relative to the plane of the speakers? I have a 42" plasma between my speakers, but it is about two feet behind. I have it as close to the wall as I can get it. Since I have a small room anything to improve the size of the imag... | |
| DVD-A player - while they still exist The Arcam DV137 and DV139 will play DVD-A. I have the DV-137 and it's a nice player. Not state of the art, but pretty nice. The DV-139 is a little better. I don't know if either player is still in production, but I have seen new ones offered here ... | |
| No sound in left channel on red LED on in 2ce's The red light ususally illuminates when the speaker is over driven. In your case you probably have a problem with your amp. Maybe it's outputting DC? You could call Vandersteen to see what activates the light, other than too much power, and then g... | |
| The Hub: The Audiophile Calendar, 2011 Wanted to let you know the Audio Karma show has been cancelled this year. There were some health issues with one of the primary organizers and they could not find anyone to take the reins this year. | |
| Vandersteen 5A Speakers It should work as good, probably better than the 3As. I have a similar sized room and just upgraded from 3As + one 2Wq to 5s (not 5A). The 5s sound better all around and while I haven't played with the low frequency EQ yet they have better bass (d... | |
