Vandersteen Quattro review in Stereophile
Interesting how different we all seem to "hear." KiethR says " i've heard Vandys a zillion times, and while i think they are great speakers, they don't have the resolution i hear in other brands." To me, the ability of the Vandy's to reproduce an ... 
Anyone replace the spikes on Gallo Reference 3's?
Take a look at my systems page for my solution to the Gallo spike replacement question.Dave 
Gallo REfF3's-All their cracked up to be?
Hmm, interesting comments on the negative sound from the Gallos. My own experience was that my pair needed over 200 hours of break in before they stopped changing their sound and just sounded wonderful. Admittedly, I bought the Gallos based partly... 
How could you go wrong for $240.01?
The store on eBay is now closed, at least when I tried to access it... 
Gallo Reference 3 stand bracket question
Has everyone noticed that Brightstar came out with a cheaper version of the Gallo stand? I guess a little grousing by the public elicited a response from the company. $200 less might attract a few more purchases from Gallo owners. I'd probably hav... 
Gallo Ref 3 and CJ Premier 350
I'm amazed with the Gallos too. The reviews have all pretty much stated though, that they respond best to good electronics, especially those with big power reserves. That being said, I love my Gallos and think they sound terrific. I'm glad you got... 
Why so many Gallo 3 or 3.1 for sale on A'goN?
The speakers benefit immensely from placement on the IsoRock stands too. Yes, it ads to the cost, as does the sub amp, but add all the costs up and, for me, they sound better than anything in their price range and many thousands above. The truth i... 
How often do you replace your belt?
My Oracle dealer, about 25 years ago, told me about the twist in the belt tweak. I used it on my Thorens back then, and use it on my Oracle today. I should have my new belt in a day or two, and my new power supply sometime after that.I'll post the... 
Who makes speakers with relaxed high freq.?
Definetely give the Vandersteens a listen. It's hard to imagine your not buying them if you do... 
How often do you replace your belt?
I think, for $10. I may just order a new one as suggested...I'll let everyone knwo how it goes. Then again, while waiting for the new one, I may try some cleaning magic.Thanks,Dave 
Gallo Reference 3 stand bracket question
Oops, in the previous post, that should have said "TOOLS" section, not Tolls section.Late night typing...D 
Gallo Reference 3 stand bracket question
Tantra,The easiest way is to insert the picture in a system. Go to your page (My Page). Under the tolls section, in the interaction area it will say "Systems" Click on that. Then it should say, build a system. Click on that. Then it's just a matte... 
Personal speaker evolution
Wow,I'm way behind on the upgrade treadmill for speakers. For some reason, other components come and go, but speakers move through my life slowly.Interestingly, they're the only component that I've always bought new. 1. Circa 1972: Home made cabin... 
Gallo Reference 3 stand bracket question
Tantra,Speaking for myself, I'd love to see your stands. It's pretty easy to post them on a systems page, or just include a link in the text of a response here. I know of at least three people including Hack who might be interested in seeing them.... 
Gallo Reference 3 stand bracket question
Hack,You have a point, but you may have trouble making it for the reasons Barry outlines in his response. As it is he's having trouble filling orders for the stands due to their popularity. If they were any less expensive, the wait would be interm...
