| Passive preamp to a power amp? Passives never worked for me | |
| Vandersteen Quatro sub setup You have to use an analogue sound meter - not digital. Are you using balanced or single ended? | |
| Pop Sound in my speakers when driven loud from studio recorded CD sources. I would listen to the offending CD on another player (car?) to hear if the pop is on the CD. The second thing is to determine if the amp is clipping....listen with a lower volume. Next determine if the "pop" is coming from any of the drivers the... | |
| A problem with AC Power you may not have considered. Spacialking......good thought....thanks | |
| Cardas Golden Reference XLR or Straightwire Crescendo XLR ? Cardas never worked in my system..... | |
| Speakers near fireplace I have 5A's that were in the same room as the fireplace ....all the lows flu away.....up, up and away.... | |
| A problem with AC Power you may not have considered. ..a couple of years ago a lightening strike took out one of my Vandersteen amps (right side) in my 5A speakers. The amp was repaired and sent back. I don't know when, but for a couple of years, I've been hearing a noise (resonance sounding at cer... | |

| Fixing your cable problems forever. I made my power cables....Accrolink and top Furutech plugs.....work fabulous for me. For those that are interested...look at the Doug Schroeder suggestion of doubling up.... I did and find them much better than any store bought items. | |
| Best MM? I have an Ortofon Winfield.....I know the Black is very good.....I'd take a closer look at Soundsmith. | |
| Thoughts on VTA...... Not important....set the arm at level or slightly higher and be done with it. Azimuth however should be as close to perfect as you can get it...greatly affects the sound |
