| VPI setup Evolving....your tonearm is a very high end performer... It seems that any adjustment brings back additional riches. If you can get a Fozgometer and the accompanying test record, the results can be stunning. On your setup, remember that any adjust... | |
| Pro-ject Xtension 10 vs. VPI Prime vs. Amadeus The Prime has the 3D arm......not easy to get better than that. | |
| Budget Power Cords, which brand to choose? zd542....I have an all Ayre/Vandersteen system, and can tell you the stock cords are only a bit better than no cords at all. | |
| Wireworld Silver Starlight It is astounding to me to read that those writing say there is no difference in HDMI cable. The picture and audio on my 5.1 system with Wireworld is SO improved as to be a different system entirely. | |
| opinions I don't think there is too much to think about...they probably are both good for the job. I personally would probably go for the NAD, but its not a huge decision. | |
| Budget Power Cords, which brand to choose? Make your own power cords...better than almost anything (I've not heard ever one). I have Acrolink cables with Furutech or Oyeida connecters. I have Neotech cables with Cardas connectors on the Vandersteen speakers. ...also excellent. The Acrolink... | |
| Wireworld Silver Starlight There is a HUGE difference in HDMI cables. I auditioned a few, but the Wireworld is significantly better....better sound, better picture by far. I forgot what level my HDMI Wireworld is, but its purple and great. | |
| Receiver I just got a Denon AVR X3100. It is extremely capable...good sound....fabulous picture pass through from HDMI inputs, highly recommended. Has tons of bells and whistles...get Pandora, Spotify, et al. | |
| Linda Ronstadt/Nelson Riddle I have those albums, and yes they are recommended | |
| Vandersteen 5A to Carbons?? Thanks Richard for bringing me back to reality. I too love my 5A's which is why I question the change to the Carbons. If you haven't changed the power cords on your speakers I would recommend it. If you have questions about that Email me. | |
| mapleshade ic's... Not for me either.. | |
| Ayre with Wilson For ME...Ayre's own cables didn't do it. I simply love the high priced Wireworld stuff. They do not alter the color of sound, yet have an ease that is absolutely captivating. AT least try it. Also, I like Audioquest Sky/Everest (I think they have ... | |
| Vandersteen 5A to Carbons?? Richard Vandersteen told me to supplement my 5A's with subs...2 or3 | |
| amp or preamp to extend upper end In my experience, I have found that a pre and the amp each work best if they come from the same manufacturer. Sometimes if they aren't you can end up with surprises. The same manufacturer designs these things to work together.. | |
| Vandersteen 5A to Carbons?? I am the original owner. I've contacted the dealer for information regarding logistics, etc., but have not gotten a reply yet. |
