| Von Schweikert VR-1 speaker:quality sound or hype? Sunnyjim, not to worry. This is an esoteric bunch. I am glad you are happy. Please tell us how you like them after living with them for a while. Time tells all. And, you have so little invested in them that in this hobby, small investments like th... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-1 speaker:quality sound or hype? Shakeydeal..are you serious? You must be the most intelligent, experienced, knowledgeable and golden-eared member of the Audiogon community. "Think before ye speak" Give me a break. | |
| I'm back now to my CDP nonoise, I loved reading your post. It's like Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, close your eyes, open your mind, ignore what you read, and "listen to the force"! Computer playback is complex when you have to choose the proper drive, proper playback sof... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-1 speaker:quality sound or hype? If you can find them, buy them and try them out. Speakers and amplifiers are synergistic so you can't predict how they will sound for you. I think they are special. They give a great sense of space and music seems to extend way beyond the boundari... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-1 speaker:quality sound or hype? Not hype. Great speaker. Buy it. | |
| Help needed to recover costs please Maybe you could mention the company so the rest of us can avoid having the same thing happen to us. | |
| Buzz with all power off Poltergeist. Seriously, I have noticed some high frequency noise from having radio devices (cell phone, modems, wi-fi) in proximity to speakers. Especially if the speaker wires are long. If the speaker wires are disconnected from the electronics a... | |
| Waiting for Paypal Thanks. Food for thought. | |
| Waiting for Paypal Thanks. I had set up PayPal with my bank checking. I can set it up again and then delete the account once Paypal records the payment. Then have PayPal send me a check. I will have to ship it first. I've used U S Postal money order. But, my local P... | |
| Waiting for Paypal Thanks, Peter, that's what I thought. Up to this point I have wanted a verified account so I didn't have credit limits, but was always worried about that part of it. So, I cancelled the bank account from Paypal. That way they can't pull the money ... | |
| "ANTI-CABLE" SPEAKER CABLE vs Audio Arts SC5? My results are the same as Dpatterson. Short anti-cables ranging from 2 to 3 feet, biwired, from monoblocks next to the speakers. Maybe it wouldn't matter what the speaker cables were like for such a short distance, but the anti cables work fine f... | |
| New free version of the Goldberg Variations I'm traveling now but can't wait to check out the downloads when I get home tonight. It's a great idea. Thanks. | |
| Subs/Monitors vs Full-Range Speakers - Pros/Cons My experience with modestly priced systems is that setting up the monitors for the best imaging and ambience and then separately setting up the one or two subs for low end is rewarding. The midrange and high range is what you hear, the low range i... | |
| Mickey Hart continues to give us good recordings Thanks! I will look into it. I remember fondly the Planet Drum record. Every time I put it on, my son would stop what he was doing and being just a toddler, would begin to gyrate around the room in rhythm to the beat. | |
| Peachtree Nova Pre vs. Modwright SWL 9.0 SE I worked up from the Little Dot (Chinese, ebay) to a Antique Sound Labs tube (demo directly from the company) and then built a Bottlehead tubed headphone amp. The Little Dot series are cheap but still well made. Your choice of amp will depend grea... |
