| Got the Touch, Now What? Mike- I'm no expert on computer audiophile but it sounds correct to me. I ripped my cds to flac files and stream them wirelessly to a Squeezebox Transporter. I am taking the analog output from my modified transporter into a line input on my pre-am... | |

| Vandersteen 2wq x-over help Rrog- You bet. Owned a pair when I had 3Asigs. The Vandersteen x-over is actually a passive filter installed at the input of the main amplifier and the sub's amp is driven off the speaker outputs of the main amplifier. Different values of the resi... | |
| Vandersteen 2wq x-over help All OP wants is the proper starting value for FIXED crossover, folks. As he says I didn't get WX-2, but I did get a set of 50k resistors. | |
| ZU OMEN speakers 12ohms?? Cwazz- Atmasphere is the owner and designer of Atma-sphere OTL tube amps (and tube pre-amps). When he says our gear, he means Atma-sphere products. Based on his show demos, he likes to listen to music at realistic live performance levels (IOW, lou... | |

| Best Balanced Tube Amp To Pair With Meridian G02? Nightfall- I can attest that my M-60s sounded great driven by a wide range of pre-amps. However, if you are using an RCA connection, you may to use a shorting pin in the XLR inputs on the amp. | |
| Speaker Stand Height for Focal Chorus 706V The rule of thumb is that the tweeters should be approx. ear height when you are seated in your usual listening position. Then you can experiment w tilting them forward or backward a little bit for best balance between woofer and tweeter. | |
| Vandersteen 5? I have never heard the Krell and the only time I heard the 5s was at a show and I was underwhelmed. However, Pani makes a very good point. High resolution transducers tend to be very revealing (by definition) of upstream deficiencies. Can you brin... | |
| Schroder sq and the new talea Well said, Thom. Your sense of perspective and practicality are impressive. I hope I get a chance to meet you at RMAF 2011. | |
| Audio Aero Capitole - 6021W subminiature tube ?? Sorlowski- Have you checked to see that the pin-out on the balanced output on the AA is the same as the pin-in on the Claytons? There are some products out there with a non-standard configuration for the XLR connectors. | |
| Schroder sq and the new talea I was not at RMAF this year, but plan/hope to be there for 2011, where I hope there will be an encore. Since vinyl is (gasp!) my secondary source, I never expect to own one of these reference arms. But we can all learn from these demonstrations an... |
