| Vandersteens and room acoustics I had Vandy setup problems in a new house I just moved into. I followed the suggestions by Vandersteen in the owners manual that is on line for all to see. The biggest improvement after setup was the addition of drapes on the windows...more of an ... | |
| Monster Speaker Cables Try Anti-cables on your Vandy's.. I use them with my 5A's with great success. | |
| The space between the speakers The imaging is compromised with such a setup. There really should be nothing between the speakers except the power amp (shortest cables to the speakers) on the floor. | |
| How many use Vintage Hi-Fi systems? Those Citation pieces are very, very nice. I had them and always move on...that doesn't necessarily mean "up". I'd get better speakers for your system. That Grace arm is gorgeous too...(had one of those too). | |
| Cables Are Crazy, what do you think? Actually, I found that plugs make a bigger difference than does the actual cable. Check other posts on this site. | |
| Achromat I like the Boston Mat better... | |
| Starter speaker cable for N804s and MF A5 I was amazed at Anti-Cables. I tried them all...cost was not a consideration for me, yet I wound up with the Anti-Cables. | |
| changing overall tone ..another thought.... Use headphones. You can get state of the art sound very inexpensively. Check out www.headphone.com | |
| Kimber 8TC - help with termination bi-wire works best when different cables are used for the run...not making the one wire work for both upper and lower connections. If interested go to Vandersteen.com for an explanation. | |
| changing overall tone You have a system that brings music to you. It has no pretense to be high end...work toward a new amp, preamp, speakers...then think about cable, power conditioners, resonance control devices, etc. If you don't have the budget now, just enjoy your... | |
| Upgrades for Scoutmaster, In order of improvement? The addition of the feet is only a mild improvement. The change from the 9 inch sig to the 10.5 is a minor improvement except that it is easier to dial in VTA if that is important to you. The heavy platter, the SDS, the ring clamp are all worthwhi... | |
| Nova Utopia Be or Dynaudio Temptation\Wilson Maxx I don't know your amp, but Levenson stuff is very dark as is your cables. You might think about experimentaion in that area. ..also, check out the Oyaide power cord....just a suggestion. | |
| Oyaide Tvad...tell us how it goes..I just might use the bulk wire and put the plugs on that depending on your evaluation. Thanks Stan | |
| Oyaide TVAD...that may be so, however, I wouldn't have the fun of experimentation. I used C-046, and P=046. They are the most neutral. | |
| TT Noob questions I really think surface noise has to do with setup. Before I used the Mint protractor, I heard very little surface noise...now lp's are about as quiet as CD's. Once in a while a pop or click goes by, but it really is silent most of the time. There ... |
