| Anyone with experience with ZU products? I use there power cables so far happy for the money and they have gotten a bunch of good reviews. There are better out there but don't know of much for the price. | |
| What can I do to upgrade Well I was in the same boat, depends what you want to spend. 1 I would change the source to a better cd and use rca innerconects. 2 Add a 2w or 2wq that will tighen the bass and give you more control over it also naturally bi amp the speakers | |
| Hooking up additional amps I would think you are better off not doing it, you have to deal with the amps sounding different and having different tonal signitutes. Vandersteens are very transparent and you could hear the difference in the amps. Along wiht the above issues. | |
| What are the best CD Player around $3500? I also vote for the Cary 303/300. I have it for about 8 months now, changing the tubes / being able to swithch the the solid state output and the upsampleing is a lifesaver for tayloring the sound to different types of music and cables. I can't li... | |
| Vandersteen Subwoofer decision Been down that road the 2wq is nicer because of the q lets you taylor the bass to the room a little better. Now the question is do you need that. Unfortionally no one can answer that. If you find the bass is boomey (which is really hard for a sub ... | |
| Subwoofer in the corner? Forget about it Bass is had to control but you are right corner placement of a sub is usually recommended for HT that is what you are thinking of because it amplifies the sub and makes the sub sound consistent throughout the room. For audio or some HT I prefer a ... | |
| Speaker upgrade You may want to listen to some vandersteen 5a or quatros depending on your buget very much the same sound as Thiels. I had the same bass issues now I have the 5a couldn't be happer. The trick is they have there own powered subs that are phase corr... | |
| Small Room Sounds like they just want to sell speakers. ""Sure our speakers will work everywhere"" There is optimal size rooms for every speaker, I guess speakers can be used in every room, they will make sound but there is certain rooms that are the right d... | |
| Budget bookshelf system for acoustic bass That is tuff unfortinally you need mass to move air that is really the bottom line. Now without getting into acoustics to much monitors and wall speaker usually don't have much bass because of the size and the fact that if you add bass the speaker... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso vs ARC LS25 MK2 Well I will put in my 2 cents. I have heard both and I own a Calypso. I found it more transparent and a larger sound stage. Now with that being said they were close and I herd them with different systems (same speakers). Both are grate pre amps th... | |
| Cary 303/100 remote control code? try going to remote central and see if anyone posted the codes. If they did just look into buying a pronto it makes life so much easer. | |
| Please compare the following headphones ok been throught this alot. First ck out headfi.com That is where you want to be looking. Of what you are looking at the 600 are the best. But also take alot of power that a ipod can't provide to make them sing. You will get much better results if... | |
| Speaker upgrade I listen mostly to female vocals and the best speakers I think for vocals are the Vandersteens. They are just neural and the phase correctness blends the voice perfectly between drivers. Also have just a awesome sound stage and your is just about ... | |
| Have you ever moved to improve your system Well I don't move for the system, but that was one of the requirements I wanted a room away from the main house to watch tv and something bigger to let me move the speakers around. Wow learned alot. I use to have the speakers along side a cabnet t... | |
