| Vandersteen Model 7: has anyone heard? Don't the 7s really need solid state amps? Vs the 5A they have a lower impedence and are a bit less efficient.What have people experienced?Thanks, Terry | |
| shield to pin one of xlr I reterminated my Triplanar cable ends with xlr plugs. I followed instructIons that had me connect the shield to pin 1. Worked great with Ayre and Einstein. I think you want the shield grounded somehow, soldering a wire to the end of the shield th... | |
| Vandersteen 5A Speakers If the 5As will be positioned on one of the short walls I would highly recommend something to take care of the side wall reflection point.Terry | |
| TW Raven 10.5" Tonearm what cart are you using? Dev, lets get this thread back on track.I am using a ZYX Universe x on my Raven 10.5/Raven AC and I like the results. But I have a lot of interest in what cartdriges others use and like with the 10.5.Are you trying to avoid anything in a cartdrige... | |
| ARC VT100 with KT-120 tubes ? I talked to ARC today 3/9/11, sorry I forgot the name, but ARC is now strongly recomending that even current products like my Ref 210s be sent back for some power supply adjustments before going with the K120 tubes. He said they have learned more ... | |
| Fan in Audio Research tube pre-amp No fan in the ARC Ref2 II, Ref 3 or Ref 5. I can't think of any ARC Pre that has a fan? But I dont know them all.And the ARCDB is indeed a great site http://www.arcdb.ws/TD | |
| Revel Salon vs Vandersteen 5A Ruby1, are you a troll?But seriously, if those silverback speakers can stand up, pound their chest while hooting and howling I will be impressed. | |
| ARC-Ref210 vs ARC-Ref610T at medium levels ?? Ozatschek, there is a huge difference in the day to day operation in heat and expense between the 610s and the 210s and still a good sized difference between the 210s and the 110.I assume you have thought about the amount of heat two Ref 610t amps... | |
| Dunlavy SCIV - What amp are you using? I used Pass Aleph 2 mono with the SC IVa. It was a very good match. I heard that Dunlavy had those amps in house and that they liked the match.Interesting to see the number of people using tubes, but maybe not as I recall the IVa to be a "easy" lo... | |
| Vandersteen Model 7 in large room with power music I run 5As in a 17x27x10 foot room with some absorption room treatment. Amps are ARC Ref110 and Ref 210 monos. The Ref 110 is enough as were Pass Aleph 2 monos (100W class A) but the extra head room of the Ref 210s is nice to have.I remember readin... | |
| Assembling My Analog System..... Comments/Ideas?? A HT preamp will be used? The phono pre goes into the CAL processor? Am I missing something?If so, I would consider that a limiting link with an analog system that good.Why the SME arm?TD | |
| Vandersteen Model 7: has anyone heard? Thanks Aronsss, I am using two ZYX Universe carts. Both picked up used on Audiogon. One in a Triplanar and the other in TW Acustic Raven 10.5. One Universe has north of 1500 hours so I am starting to look for something else although it seems to be... | |
| Vandersteen Model 7: has anyone heard? Shut up and go away. You could cost people a lot of money.Just kidding.BTW, after 6 years with the 5A, they seem to be quite alive to me in the sense that with any kind of "good" recording the music seems to come from things that are vibrating in ... | |
| What power cord are TW Acustic TT owners using? Does TW Acustic supply power cords? They did not 2 years ago when I bought a Raven AC. If that is still the case, there is no "stock" cord to reference too.TD | |
| How's the Audio Research Ref Phono 2 Working Out? Stickman, I am happy with the bass performance. But as you know nothing is perfect, even at this price point and I think well beyond.I run it balanced and I am confident that using the single ended outputs would degrade performance vs balanced.The... |
