Regarding Class D application and DC offset...I discussed this with Richard personally, and just found a pertinent entry on the Vandersteen website...in the technical section. You have to wade through lots of entries, but you will find the DC offs... | |
| Ortofon A90 with Graham Phantom I say that if the cartridge doesn't fit as intended with the "bumps" positioned in the headshell, you are defeating its intended design by "making it fit". Those bumps I am sure are there for the same reason you put cones under your preamp. I woul... | |

| An Informal Assessment of Anti Cables I am using Anti-Cables with Vandersteen 5A's. When I was experimenting with the speaker cables, I found that (for my system anyway) twisting the cables closed in the sound somewhat. With the Vandersteen's, I also have 4 cables to each speaker, but... | |

| Audioquest Sky XLR vs Kimber Select 1130 Yes...Sky XLR is one of the best cables...however, you should make your own decision based on hearing it in your system. | |

When I bought my system, my dealer, and everyone else told me that with my components, Cardas was the natural choice. I had them in my system when a friend brought over a Purist interconnect. What I discovered wa... | |

| Vandersteen Quatro Signature with Vandy dual subs? Richard Vandersteen told me personally, that he likes additional subs - he says he uses 2,3, even 4 subs not for extra bass energy, but to even out the bass. He says that if used properly like that, it makes the mids and highs way better as well. | |
| Does anyone have advice on power cables? All cables sound different in different systems. YOu must audition them in YOUR system to find the one(s) for you | |
| Merlin vsm mme owners, Cardas cabling Question. I was recommended to use Cardas with my Ayre components....after all, Cardas even manufactures the Ayre cables. As it turned out, Cardas cables were absolutely awful - closed in, grainy, dead sounding. You absolutely MUST try all cables in your ow... | |
