| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE I'm a little surprised by the lack of response on these postings for Vandersteen. I have the 5A's and he promises an upgrade path to always keep it on the cutting edge. | |
| Loud bad noises Its usually not cost effective to replace the laser.. | |

| The Best of the Best Well sort of - CD players I have a Denon 5910 I use in my surround sound system in another room. My big system has the Ayre C5xe...no contest. The Ayre is much better.. | |
| The Best of the Best Well sort of - CD players I am using the Ayre C5XE with great satisfaction. Remember that all Ayre equipment much prefers balanced operation. I use Anti-Cables on my whole system with great pleasure. | |
| Interconnects for TT Excellent...at least you tried them | |
| Interconnects for TT ..I was just wondering why in the world anyone would want to pay and play with interconnects and speaker cable that costs so much more than AntiCables, and are inferior. I just read the new Absolute Sound and Stereophile, and one of them gave such... | |
| Pass 250.5 with Vandersteen 5A's I heard the Pass amps at Audio Connection too and that match seemed boring to me. I have Ayre stuff - that seems much more alive and excigting...much more like music | |

| SME 20/2 Faulty Silicon Oil Plunger Send it back to the importer. If any of that stuff got into the bearings, or other places it shouldn't be, you are looking for trouble. The stuff will attract dirt like a manget. | |
| What determines the volume of a Turntable? Also, the recording itself is variable in that some are recorded more softly/loudly than others, and the speed of the record too has an effect. 45's are louder than 33's | |
| Analysis Plus Oval 9 & Vandersteen 3As Richard V has definite opinions on bi-wiring. If you go to his site, he explains that to benefit from biwiring, you must have seperate wires. DO NOT use one jacketed cable - you might as well not biwire. I have Vandersteen 5A's and am using the ve... |
