Questions for Vandersteen 5A owners...
$40K? Lets wait and see given what is happening in the financial world right now. Its hard to say how much less custom exotic drivers/speakers will cost in 6 or 12 months (and how big the market will be), but I think many things will priced down 1...

Bingo! 
Questions for Vandersteen 5A owners...
The problem with "go hear it for your self" axiom is that often the setups are lacking. My demo could have been much better, but I was able to work around what I heard and make a decision.The 5As are not bright, they are high resolution and if giv... 
2008 RMAF – – – all things analog.
Doug, can you give a quick detailed description of the types of music where you hear speed inaccuracies on rubber belt tables? And do you not notice this on some kinds of music e.g. rock.Thanks Terry 
Vandersteen 5A
Easy to miss one subwoffer out.I came back from vacation once and powered up all my stuff, let it warm up a while only to realize into my 3rd LP that the low bass was missing. I had forgot to plug in the subs on the 5As! I unplug them if gone for ... 
reserve vta solves issue on zyx, triplaner
Audiotomb, adjusting the pivot-to-spindle to the specified 233.5mm has made a ginormous improvement for my Triplanar/Universe/Raven AC setup. I can't jump up and down yelling too much about it. Maybe the most amazing thing I have ever done to twee... 
Power amp Suggestions for Dunlavy SC-IV
Other options to consider are some of the older Nelson Pass class A amps. I ran Pass Labs Aleph 2s with 4As (I ran across info in a couple places that those amps were used during the speaker voicing process). It was a good match.In addition to his... 
Center Channel for Dunlavy SC-IV?
Dont foget the Dunlavey SM1, 2 way with 6.5" low freq dirvers. Kind of rare too but I believe it uses the same family tweeter. Plenty of output esp if it is crossed over at 80 Hz.I used and still have one that was matched with SC IVAs and now pull... 
SVS PB13Ultra-anybody have one? how good are they?
I have a F113 for LFE only and love it. Keep in mind that you are getting great performance in a compact cabinet and I would say you pay a bit more for that. Some people will like the smaller package and choose that option as I did.When I got the ... 
Triplanar arm level w/right VTA for ZYX Universe?
Thanks for the input. I could not remember even with all the info I have read on this.After tweeking other setups over a period of time since getting my new TT I realized I may have lost track of proper VTA since I had also tried a couple record m...

SME V, Tri-Planar or Phantom B-44
Raul, zero experince with SME. It did not capture my eye so to speak while searching. Just seemed to me either all in SME, TT and arm, or not. Also hit me as a diferent school from the ZYX Universe I started with. My bad if I am missing something.TD 
SME V, Tri-Planar or Phantom B-44
Tim, I took delivery of a Raven AC two weeks ago. I already had a Triplanar and ZYX Universe X and I think I will be very happy with the compination. I will double check a few elements of the set up when I have time in the next week but it is very... 
Two Rel Stentors / one Rel Studio... question
Had a single Stentor III, what a quality unit. Dealer talked me into the single sub but I whish I had gone the 2 sub route with something down the product line for a little more cost.Traded the Stentor in on Vandy 5As and later added a JL Fathum 1... 
Vintage preamps with stellar phono section.....
add conrad johnson pf1 and pf2 solid staters to the list. I have seen pf1s in that price range. The pf2 also came in just a line stage only so finding a phono unit may be hard and I am not sure about price used.I still have a pf1 in use using phon...
