| Sonus Faber Amati Homage Vs B & W 802d I had the B&W's and shouldn't have. The mids are grainy and the lows are fake...the speaker also has a closed in sound that I didn't like. Audition yourself so a large cash outlay will not disappoint you. | |
| new gear I would get all Ayre gear....they work beautifully together. | |
| New Von Schweikert VR 33? The whole idea of these posts are to learn and offer opinions. The whole idea of high fidelity which is what we all deal with on these posts is the replication of music as it was performed in real life without editorial manipulation. I'm sure ther... | |
| New Von Schweikert VR 33? Arkio... You just proved that you don't know what real music sounds like. Vandersteens are universally acclaimed as not only being one of the best speakers in all their price ranges, but also a bargain at those ranges. I am not trying to reprimand... | |
| The best passive preamp I've heard a few passives, but all had a reduced sense of dynamic swing...I much prefer an active preamp. | |
| What preamp & power amp to buy? You should listen to Ayre and Audio Research equipment. Levenson stuff always sounded too dark for me. ..just inquisitive as to if you ever heard the Vandersteen 7's or 5A's? | |
| Vandersteen 5Aa Carbon--any 5a owner's opinions? Remember Jeff...upgrading the 5A to the Carbons will only be done to those that are registered with Vandersteen that they are original owners. | |
| A $300-$400 turntable tweak Rockitman and I are in agreement :) | |
| New Von Schweikert VR 33? I've heard quite a few iterations of Alberts speakers and not only thought they were nothing special, but actually find them not a good speaker at all. ..to the point that a friend of mine and I who were auditioning the speakers couldn't believe t... | |
| Audioquest Oak speaker and Sky interconnects In MY system...sky was one of the best....Cardas the worst. Audition your cables in YOUR system before spending lots of money | |
| VPI Classic/Clear Audio Maestro Wood Question Actually, I use a carpenters level with the weight of it in my hands...I just touch the top of the tonearm head and adjust the rear counterweight so that the bubble is absolutely cenetered. This works if and only if the cartridge stylus was mounte... | |
| VPI Classic/Clear Audio Maestro Wood Question You simply can not "eyeball" that rod correctly. My suggestion is to put some small block of wood...dominos, Cardas blox, etc. under the ends of that rod so that you can determine if it is indeed square. I suspect you are very much off the mark. I... | |
| Monster Cable Monster Cable reminds me of Bose...that is...they are both consumer driven rather than audiophile driven. | |
| Transparent cables with Thiel speakers I have an all Ayre system and there was nothing worse than Ayre for MY system. Again...cables are soooo system dependant I am only reporting on MY system. | |
| New Von Schweikert VR 33? Pinoy6....I certainly wouldn't |
