| Vandersteen 2 Grill Cloth Housing Don't do it you will simply devalue the speakers. Find a buyer who understands and values intact Vandersteens. | |
| leave power on? If your equipment is well designed then turning off and on is absolutely no problem. Save energy.As I've said so many times before, this leaving stuff on all the time is simply unsubstantiated lore and in fact caps benefit from being charge cycled... | |
| TT mat suggestions... I use the Nonefelt with Speedmat combination and find this to be a slight improvement over the felt mat that came with my Music Hall MM7 | |
| Good sounding 70's live LPs... Good bass from live albums (vinyl) of the 70s includes:ZZ Top - FandangoBrand X - LivestockGenesis - Seconds OutSupertramp - ParisAlbert King - Blues PowerOutlaws - Bring It Back AliveThe Who - Live At Leeds (new remastered from Classic)King Crims... | |
| Confused and unsure about upgrading my speakers. Before you make a decision please educate yourself and understand the benefits of time and phase coherence built in to either Vandersteen or Thiel speakers.You may find this is what you're looking for. | |
| When did you know that music was your passion? When I got a 45 rpm copy of Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini for my fifth birtday in 1962. | |
| How much longer will CDs be made? CD is not done yet, just as vinyl wasn't done in 1982. There are still audible improvements being made to this format every day. | |
| DIY Record Cleaning Solution Agree with HDM, why screw around. Get best - Record Research/ MOFI Super Wash and Deep Cleaner. | |
| looking for good detailed and warm player I agree with Thorman and have owned a 508.24 since 1997, great warm round player. Also I auditioned extensively a new Parasound D3 player and must say I was very impressed with its warmth and dynamic range. The highs were spectacular and detailed ... | |

| Epos or Vandersteen Plus the Vandersteen is time and phase coherent. | |
| Avalon Eidolon and Krell, good match or not? "Just my opinion: please dont abuse the Eidolon with anything from Krell. Even a $500 tube amp or a cheap counterpoint SA100 will beat the Krell driving Eidolons."Thanks for the chuckle; certainly got my day started on a positive note!Cheers!Steve | |
| Parasound HCA-3500: Which aftermarket power cords? For my main system I have become fond of PS Audio's $49 Power Punch cords. Well made and they deliver a positive difference over stock cords. | |
| Best current EL34 tubes Winged SED I agree with.The EH EL34s perhaps are next along with the JJ KT77s. | |
| Krell 700cx monster vs Bryston 14/4bsst/10bLR 2way John, good call on the KCT. And be sure to use CAST. This turns the pre/power system into an "integrated amp" configuration with the connection remaining in the current domain (high impedance output into low impedance input) |
