| B&W N800, 800D, 802D for my room 16x17x8 Why don't you at least give a listen to a Vandersteen product. They are easy to set up, pleasant to listen to, can be tailored to your room, fairly priced, etc. The cheaper ones are a bit ugly, but the top models are nice looking. | |
| Can you ever have too powerful amp for speakers? NOPE if it is a good one. | |
| Cable Elevators - What do you use? I tried using them, but it made absolutely no difference at all. | |
| Amplification for Wilson Watt Puppy 7s or 8s Reboot....I suspect there is no worse combination than Wilsons and Valhalla | |
| Vandersteen 7s Those of you who own 5A's.... I tried switching out the original power cords with home made ones....Oyeida plug and Accrolink wire.... I know that Richard says there is no difference, but to these ears and in my system it was a WOW. Not only did t... | |
| Vandersteen 7s I understand original 5A owners will be able to upgrade (almost) their 7's....new drivers and electronics, but same cabinet. I was told the result is about 80% of the 7's. | |
| Wilson Audio's New Sound? Why oh Why is everyone mad at me. I simply suggested to go to a couple of live events to hear what real music sounds like. I am a professional musician and am around live music every day. I heard the big Wilsons at an audiophile meeting set up by ... | |
| Why power cable effect overall syste sound? I too have experimented with power cables, and they all sound different...not only quieter or less quiet. I find that about 80% of the sound of cables comes from the terminations, not from the cable itself. | |
| Which TT for my system? You can't go wrong with a VPI product. They strongly support their products and have an excellent upgrade path. They are made in New Jersey, and are always there for guidance should you need it. | |
| What oil for VPI HW19 turntable? I think VPI recommends adding oil (not changing it) once a year. I have been doing that and have not had any problems. I use VPI oil/grease. I have a Superscoutmaster, so I use the oil for the motors and put some grease at the platter bearing. I s... | |
| High output MC cartridges I had a Benz Ebony H which was one great cartridge. I changed to the low output Ebony LP and got a bit more refinement - I was looking for that Holly Grail. In fact, the high ouput was Very good, letting my pre just loaf, which provided great dyna... | |
| Wilson Audio's New Sound? I heard the new Wilsons, and the old Wilsons, and neither are what music sounds like to these ears. If they do to you, fine...I suggest you go to some live performances. | |
| Any suggestions for top-end home-made cables? Go to VHAudio.com....they have it all...answers and gear. | |
| Maggie 1.6 and Vandersteen 3A sigs The way I hear it is that the Vandersteen is a much more complete speaker wear as the Maggies have that very special midrange.with little else. For some, that midrange is so good that everything else can be ignored...For everyday pleasures, I woul... | |
| Platter upgrade for VPI MkIV? I would ask VPI...they will give you an honest answer. |
