| Modwright 100 - Specail Editon Still waiting to hear from you, as you mentioned listening to your 5400 with mods a few weeks ago.Bob | |
| From Vandersteen 2CE to Devore Gibbons 8 or Focal I had the DeVore 8 speakers and Paradigm dsp 3100 sub set up in my living room. I was never truly satisfied with the sound, particularly on rock music. I bought the Odyssey Audio Kismet Reference Loudspeakers off a guy here on the Gon for an excel... | |
| sub integration merlin tsm mme I used a Paradigm sub with DeVore Fidelity 8 speakers. I had the sub 180 degrees out of phase with the DeVores, the crossover set at 50hz and level control around 10 o clock. It blended quite seemlessly. It took me 2 solid months of fiddleing to g... | |
| Modwright Ultimate Sony xa5400 sacd -Review I would love to hear it in your system, kindly let us know when.Bob | |
| Matching an amp to the Vandersteen 3a signatures Parasound, Odyssey Audio are two products that come to mind and can be frequently found here on Audiogon. I had Vandersteen 2ce speakers for many years powered with a 175wpc Classe amp. As good as it sounded, when I replaced the Classe with an Ody... | |
| Imaging and Detail. I was in the same boat as you. All my rock recordings from the 70's and 80's sounded like crap. I was using Vandersteen speakers, switched to DeVore speakers with a sub and still wasn't satisified and had sesigned myself to the idea of not playing... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? I owned an origional Son of Ampzilla power amp in the late 70's. I also had a GAS Thalia preamp, and a GAS Sleeping Beauty moving coil cartridge. That system made such beautiful music. I can only guess that James Bongiorno has built an even better... | |
| Is the Sony xa5400es better than scd-1? Doubtful it's better. | |
| Woofers going crazy when playing vinyl I believe it is because the combination of being a rear ported speaker and the speakers proximity to the rear wall. That is something I couldn't change. The speakers also go much lower than the DeVores and much more cleanly.Bob | |
| From Vandersteen 2CE to Devore Gibbons 8 or Focal I had heard that the Super 8s had better bottom end and were a little more efficient as well. I still feel they are more the Jazz lover and Chamber Music lover type of speaker. Perhaps it was because the Vandersteens being a much larger sized spea... | |
| From Vandersteen 2CE to Devore Gibbons 8 or Focal I am glad you are enjoying the DeVores, they are a great speaker. The guy I was buying the magneplaners from re-negged on the deal. I didn't notice the phono problem right away because I hadn't played any vinyl for a few months. I think the proble... | |
| Woofers going crazy when playing vinyl I am not in the financial position to buy a new low output mc cartridge and I spoke with Mike at VPI and he said the cartridge is NOT a mismatch for my JMW9 arm, especially since I had the new and heavier counterweight. I purchased the cartridge f... | |
| Woofers going crazy when playing vinyl Installed KAB rumble filter on Friday, problem solved.Bob | |
| Cabling with a single vendor-new experience for me I am using all MIT Terminator 2 intercomnnects and Terminator 2 speaker cable in my system. There is definitely something to be said synergy wise when using the same brand. I didn't like the MIT power cables, so I went with all Shunyata Diamondbac... | |
| Woofers going crazy when playing vinyl Replacing the cartridge is not an option for me, but I will try some different platforms on top of my audio rack. I thought that since I had originaly had the Scout sitting on top of a 2 inch thick slab of black granite would have eliminated that ... |
