| B&W 804s vs. Von Schweikert VR4jr Congrats! I would like to add that it takes a few weeks or more to realize the best that VS speakers can offer. I have slowly inched my VR $JRs around and little by little I have found the best spot. Also, the do develp a richer midrange and sligh... | |
| Comparing some mid-line interconnects - thoughts? Several questions: what length? Solid or stranded? Shielded or unshielded? Copper, Silver or a combination? Between source and pre-amp or pre-amp to amp or phono to pre-amp? These are questions I asked myself before shopping for cables. Good luck. | |
| tube int amp rec I am experimenting with my new Jolida JD-100A with different speakers. Currently it runs Dynaudio floorstanding 70s which are about 87 dB and 4 ohms. It is excellent. I am not sure that it is of the same quality as the CD5x or the Selas, but it pr... | |
| Amplifier suggestions for Von Schweikert VR4 JR I am very pleased with my Bel Canto M300s driving my VR-4 JRs. Talk to Wally at Underwood Hi Fi about these. The S300 is slightly cheaper, all in one box. Great detail, non-fatiguing, and wonderful mid-range. | |
| subwoofers or not for bookshelfs? I have successfully integrated an REL Q108E sub with my Von Schweikert VR-1s in a small library. Through trial and error I found: one corner was best of all the positions, the REL uses speaker level line in, the crossover is as low as possible (40... | |
| Jolida JD 100 PC suggestions For the price I like the PS Audio cords. | |
| Anyone using Nuforce Ref 9 Mono Blocks? I am with Mlsstl. My Bel Canto M300s (the monoblock version of the S300) is superb in my system, driving VR-4 JRs. No radio interference, plenty of power, smooth, detailed. Can't compare to the other amps since I haven't auditioned them. And if it... | |
| Feedback wanted from Jolida JD100A owners I think the bass is very good, and I am satisfied with it. But of course there are better players in terms of bass. It is hard to have everything without huge money. The only mods I have are dampening, better RCA output jacks and different tubes. ... | |
| Feedback wanted from Jolida JD100A owners I have found the player to be excellent, in my system: Bel Canto M300s, Von Schweikert VR-4 JR, Aragon preamp. It depends on the rest of your system. I think it is the best player that $700 can buy. If you spend more, you get more. | |
| Your best picks for 2006 Best Speakers under 4K. The Von Schweikert VR-4 JR can now be had for under $3000 through the internet. That is half price considering the shipping cost. Great all around speaker. | |
| power cord recommendayion It all depends on how much money you want to spend. PS Audio has cords on their website including demos, opened boxes, etc. I recently bought all new cords, including the C7 for my DVD player and standard AC connectors. Return in 30 days if not sa... | |
| Thiels or Von Schweikerts I don't know if anyone can tell you how one speaker sounds compared to another. I am sympathetic. I lived in Wyoming before moving to rural Missouri. I just bought the Von Schweikert VR-4 JRs and love them. Unfortunately, I know of no dealer that ... | |
| One-upsmanship, best cd transp/player $800 I have experience with the Njoe Tjoeb 4000 with upsampler through Upscale Audio and a recent purchase of a Jolida 100A with mini-mods through Underwood Hi Fi. In one system using a Creek 5350 and Von Schweikert VR-1s the 4000 is superb but with th... | |

| Starting a high-end audio shop... Am I crazy? Good luck in this enterprise. Living in the St. Louis area and watching as very good audio shops went under, I am not sure what works today. Kevin Deal at Upscale Audio has successfully blended retail and internet, especially with his select lines... |
