| What Speakers Vandersteen speakers are extremely good and a great value at every price point. Considering your electronics, you should audition the Quatros, or 5A's. Both of these speakers can be tweeked to match your room - easily done by the dealer setup. | |
| What Cart. for a Infinity Black widow Try an ADC or Sonus cartridge... Both of those are A+ with the Black Widow. | |
| B&W Rohacell vs woven Kevlar I doubt that the material the speaker is made of makes a difference. A stiffer cone would cause a more piston-like movement with perhaps less cone breakup, however, I would think the driver's cone material, magnet, spider, magnetic gap, crossover,... | |
| Preamp w/ xlrs in the ht-bypass loop ..that doesn't sound right BostonGeorge34... I have an Ayre K1xe that has a balanced monitor loop that you don't have to pull the plug to reset. I would call Ayre...they are very nice and will provide the right answer for you. | |
| I can dream, can't I? Vandersteen Model 7 The cabinet and speakers are carbon fiber. I think a great deal is to get a used 5A and get the offered upgrade of the new drivers to be put into the 5A cabinet. According to Vandersteen himself, it gets you very close to the 7's. The upgrade is n... | |
| Heavy Speakers with Spikes on a Concrete Floor This seems wrong to me. I have my speakers spiked to a French limestone floor, with a rug with padding in front of the speakers. It sounds great, I wouldn't think of setting the speakers up differently. I would add padding for your rug, pour mysel... | |
| How to convert VPI turntable to banlanced? Valhalla is the better wire for the VPI arm, however, it takes a very, very long time to break in...many months. | |
| VPI Classic---Denon 103 won't fit on arm?? It seems the cat is out of the bag... VPI tonearms will now have a stainless steel arm wand. My 10.5i seems to be aluminum. I wonder what the sonic difference is. | |
| B&W 801 vs 803s I went from the B&W's to Vandersteen 5A's...a huge step up. Personally, I think Vandersteen Quattros are excellent too. In my opinion, Vandersteen is the top of the heap at each price point. I also like Dynaudio, Magnepan and Thiels. They all ... | |
| B&W 801 vs 803s If you are going to upgrade, open the possibilities with different speakers. I am one of those who doesn't particularly like B&W's ....owned the 801's at one time. | |
| Benz Micro LP S vs Air Tight PC-1 w/ files ..to these ears, on my computer with I-Tunes...Benz wins. It sounds more silent between the notes which brings greater clarity...and it seems more dynamic. ..interesting test... Thanks | |
| Whirring sound in Scoutmaster motor normal? Call VPI. I hear no noise at all...dead silence. When it was new there was a ticking sound...I lubed the brass plate with some thin oil VPI sent to me. There is thicker grease which Harry said was a new product which is to be used on the main bear... | |
| What VPI junction box do I have? Thanks Islandman...I can breathe easier now....(not said sarcastically) | |
| What VPI junction box do I have? I have a 10.5i, and although it says Nordost on the arm, there is no indication of Nordost wiring internally in the junction box. I personally believe all the junction boxes are wired the same with the exception of RCA or XLR termination. You can ... | |
| By-pass or Remove X-over in Revel Studios 1st Gen EEGADS....all that R&D that Revel did on that speaker and with a blind snip you'll defeat it. If Revel thought biamping would improve this speaker, they would have included the necessary inputs. I would NEVER do this... Return your new electro... |
