Difference in Music Hall tonearms?
I think I'll have to go with the normal 5 and not the SE. I just don't see enough of a change... seems more like an attempt to fill a hole in the product line than to really improve on the 5.Thanks all. 
New marketing tatic what`s your take?
Frankly, I was just happy to see a company do something other than a magazine spread. True, the quality was somewhat lacking, there were some spelling and grammar errors here or there (although the Italian subtitles were very good), the video look... 
Jazz Piano?
Wow... plenty of responses. I'll have to start searching for some of the names. Should be fun. 
Vandersteen Quattro
I don't know the reason for the delay, but I did hear them at CES. It's been a long time since then, but they did have the typical Vandersteen smoothness and sound. I actually didn't care for how they look too much, but that's a minor complaint.Ri... 
How's this for a dose of reality???
I KNEW that I had read that before, and now I know why. I've read both of the books that you mention. That's right, my local university library has copies of both, and I enjoy reading very old pieces of audio literature. I especially like flipping... 
Nad 521i feedback....
I'll second purchasing the BEE version of the 521. I got impatient and refused to wait for it to be released, and I'm still kicking myself in the butt over that one. 
Vandersteen x-over and IC?
The circuit within the crossover would have a much larger effect than the wiring itself, imo. Hence the need to either purchase the better modules or build your own.Of course, if you build your own you can choose the kind of wiring that you want t... 
"I am there" vs. "They are here"
"They're here" is the mark of good playback."I'm There" is the response to great emotional connection.In my book, the latter is the much stronger compliment. 
Vandersteen-Wadia synergy advise.
So you want to add a pair of 2Wq subwoofers without a preamp? It doesn't seem like it would be a problem. You would have to add the crossover in between the CD player and the amplifier, but I don't really see any reason why this couldn't work.With... 
what integrated and speakers?
I think you'll get a lot more mileage out of the NAD than you would another integrated amp. It's just an amazing unit for the money.For speakers, I'm running a C320BEE with Vandersteen 1C speakers, and they really sing. You can find the 1C for rou... 
a great blues album
I've seen BB twice, once in Vegas and once here in Utah. A great show both times. He may not be able to stand anymore, but he can still play it so it hits you hard.Anyway, I'm headed to the bookstore today. I'll try and find it, now that I have mo... 
What is the best used system under $1000?
Hm, can I second the Vandersteen recommendation? The 1C's are going for roughly $500 right now (1B's can be found for around $350), and the synergy between NAD and Vandersteen is pretty dang good. Of course, I'm biased. I'm running 1C's with a C32... 
LP storage boxes?
Thanks, that's exactly the site I was looking for.Also, I live in Utah. To be honest, I don't even know where the closest liquor store is. 
Why dual subwoofers ?
Using two subwoofers is often the cheapest way to increase your bass output, clean up any bass distortion, and add to the overall impact.More importantly, using two subwoofers can help eliminate a lot of the bass problems you have in a typical roo... 
2wq filters: what do you recommend?
I could use those instructions too, as future reference.
