| Bang and Olafson Beoplay H8 Many years ago, there was a B&O retail store in the Short Hills Shopping Center in New Jersey. They had a very expensive (even in those years) multi amped speaker that sounded very good...a bit too basey (not boomy as I remember) but that sells. | |
| Need advice about upgrading speakers ( it might be the last one i own). SJ - I have Vandersteens and think they sound like music. Call John Rutan at AudioConnection in New Jersey.... He is very knowledgeable, sells everything and is always anxious to share info. | |
| Vandersteen 2Ci - Bi-wire cable question ..and to add .....I found that separate cables for lows, and highs are even better..... I've seen jacket cables with +,- on one end to attach to the amp, which separates to the 4 cables on the other side to attach to the speaker.....not as good o... | |
| Mint lp best tractor for VPI Classic jjss49 - I already have the dual pivot, however, you must make sure the azimuth (actually every parameter) is as close as you can possibly get it. By the way - the dual pivot is a very audible improvement. | |
| Headphone setup - dual setup w/ speakers I have the 650’s but with upgraded Cardas connecting wire, powered by a dedicated headphone amp fed from the tape monitor loop of the preamp. Wonderful sound. You cannot take advantage of your headphones being driver from the poor excuse of a hea... | |

| Does a flat ceiling provide the best sound? I have 16 ft ceilings (though flat) and it was a nightmare to adjust for good sound. | |
| Mint lp best tractor for VPI Classic wlutke....how do you know if the diamond was installed at its optimal position. Chances are quite good its off - you can only tell and then adjust with the Foz. | |
| Can upgraded power cords help my setup? Upgraded power cords helped every component I upgraded...some much more obvious than others, but all to at lease some degree. | |
| Acoustic Signature customer service This is why people should support the leaders in the field that support them back. | |
| Mint lp best tractor for VPI Classic I agree that the Mint is a very valuable setup tool, however, the Fozgometer and its accompanying disc is as valuable as well. The rod on the arm method is very approximate, and doesn't usually work to give all the air, dynamics, depth, etc. (unle... | |
| Does a flat ceiling provide the best sound? Speakers are designed with an 8ft flat ceiling in mind. Anything else requires adjustments and compromises | |
| Parasound JC3+ making buzzzzzzz I suppose its only with the turntable?.... If the balanced cable cures the problem, why use it single ended?.... Have you tried a different wall socket for the pre? ..turntable? Does this happen with the turntable plugged/unplugged? | |
| “Invest” in Tekton? another thing to think about is the viability and support from the company. | |
| Balanced But Not Fully Balanced Fully balanced equipment is always more expensive because the design has separate circuits for the + and - portions..... XLR connections on equipment makes for a selling point. If you have both - try them both and see if you can hear a difference. |
