| Challenging Speaker Situation I suspect an Onmi directional speaker would best serve here. Look at Ohms. I haven't heard them in a long time, but I used to like them very much, and they are being manufactured now with a nice trial offer. I understand they are even better now. | |
| why 3D Holographic sound If you wear glasses....remove them for best sound. They resonate | |
| why 3D Holographic sound 3 dimensionality has to do with reproducing the sound waves while retaining the phasing of the live performance. Wall/cieling,floor,reflections will fill in and confuse the compressions and rareractions, and ruin the 3 -D effect. | |
| Where to start?? Cardas was the very worst cable in my system. Try other cables and see if they are better. Cardas might be fine for you, but I would listen carefully | |
| Steelhead as a preamp? ..just another thought ....Steelhead is a single ended component, and doesn't do well in a balanced circuit. | |
| No Sound from Tweeter I had a B&W 802D - didn't drive them hard at all, but blew 3 tweeters. It is an easy fix, but you have to buy the tweeters...I'd stay away from this sale. | |
| Cartridges - what have you owned and your opinion Best...Dynavektor XV1-S, Benz Ebony LP, Benz Ebony High OutputNot the best...Grado Sonata, Koetsu Rosewood, Onyx Not even close...ADC, Sure, Lyra, Stanton, Ortofon, etc. | |
| If I like sound of Ayre Integrated I would Like... I have to disagree with Jax2...I have an Ayre v1xe connected to a K1xe, and the soundstage is as wide as depicted on the recording. If it's a nightclub jazz recording..no, but listening to Das Lied von der Erde by Tilson Thomas et al, you are tran... | |
| How to Position Speakers in a Square-ish Room If you go to Vandersteen.com, and download the 5A owners manual, it goes into a very comprehensive description of speaker placement. If you follow Richards directions, you will be pleased. | |
| Fluctuations of the loudness of speakers??? To change a tube, open the case, just pull out the tube when cold,,,pull straight up - don't twist it... and replace with the same tube type and number. You might have some dirt on the pins of the old tube, so I would remove and replace the same t... | |
| Looking for power amp with warm, smooth sound You could smooth the sound with the addition of new power cords. Gold ends (check VHAudio.com) by Oyieda will do it. The ends make the biggest difference...you can use the best Home Depot wire for the rest. | |
| Whatever happened to Straight Wire? Dabluguy...the fact that Straightwire is used internally means nothing. We audiophiles use cable from the amp that must execute a very different job than internal wiring. I was talking to Richard Vandersteen about this who said that there are many... | |
| Fluctuations of the loudness of speakers??? Recheck your cables...(interconnects and speaker) - make sure they are clean and tight. | |
| Nordost flat line cabels vs norse series I agree...Blue Heaven's are excellent cables. The only qualm is a light - less than powerful low end. The mids and highs are wonderful. | |
| Silver IC cable between Phono and Preamp The fact that a cable is silver does not mean anything, except price. I have heard bright and dull silver cables, copper cables that have sounded better than silver, etc. Base your decision on listen, not on hype, and you will be satisfied in the ... |
