| Vandersteen Model 2Ce Signature II I don't have the "Mark II" version of the 2Ce Signature, but I use my 2Ce Sigs in a room that's a hair over 11' X 15'.They have probably 4 feet distance from the side walls with very little distance to the wall behind them, and they definitely sou... | |
| Van Halen on 200 gram vinyl? Tbromgard,I wouldn't buy Twisted Sister either, but it seems a little sanctimonious to start pointificating about what deserves a reissue and what doesn't.You might love Jennifer Warnes, for example - but some audiophiles would prefer listening to... | |
| Van Halen on 200 gram vinyl? Tbromgard - The AC/DC reissues are quite excellent - at least the ones with Bon Scott (the only era of the band I listen to).What exactly bothered you so much about these? Did you already have original pristine Australian pressings? Not all of us ... | |
| Michell Tecnoweight + RB700 Tonearm - Reversible?? Hey Theo,Thanx for the safety warning! Most likely I'll stick with my Dynavector 10X5 for a cartridge...I'm very happy with the sound of the Dyna, and from what I've read, it's a very sensible match with the P5. | |
| Michell Tecnoweight + RB700 Tonearm - Reversible?? Jaspert,I was simply curious to see how the Rega stands on its own without the frills - and it's also a way to confirm if the Tecnoweight is a truly audible difference.Is it easy to put the original Rega "stub" (I think that's what they call it) b... | |
| THIN LIZZY best album? If anybody out there has UK Vertigo pressings of Night Life or Fighting, please send me an e-mail! | |
| Carts option for Rega P5 + RB700 arm Nolitan,I'll be putting a Dynavector 10X5 onto a P5 in a few days, so I'll let you know. From what I find on the web, it sounds like a 2mm spacer is necessary, but I want to try it "au natural" to start off with.In advance, if anybody out there kn... | |
| THIN LIZZY best album? I go with Live & Dangerous + Jailbreak...But Black Rose is awfully underrated. | |
| How to fix woofer pumping Sometimes you don't have the option of moving your turntable - or anything else, for that matter.I got the KAB rumble filter - and believe me, it works like a charm.It does not have the slightest effect on playback. | |
| Top 5 Rock n Roll Vocalists For vocalists that will always sound great, I'd go with these:Bon Scott (it's insane that no one mentions him!)Freddie MercuryRobert PlantPhil LynottI'd take Freddie over any other singer... | |
| Need advice on amp to drive Vandersteen 2Cs I use a Plinius 8200 MKII with my 2CE Signatures, and I think it's a fantastic match.Just a word of caution - apparently the 8200 MK I (the earliest version) was not all that great - especially in the phono stage.Plinus was reported to have made a... | |
| I always do something stupid... Best one for me is when I went to pick up my turntable from the shop - I had them install a Dynavector cartridge on it.When I got home to hook it up, I noticed that the freaking cantilever was bent about 45 degrees. Apparently, something happened ... | |
| How to access power amp section of integrated amp I have a Plinius 8200 MKII driving 2Ce Signatures, and I'm pretty sure it's capable of this.You may want to check the manual online to make sure... | |
| best vocal harmonies in rock Since most of the responses seem to be so focused on acoustic music, I'll throw out something more recent:Nickel CreekAt least in this decade, they were unsurpassed when it came to vocal harmonies... | |
| best vocal harmonies in rock Gawdbless,With "Bohemian Rhapsody", you're talking about a song with so many tracks on it that the original tape master literally became transparent due to all of the layers the band kept adding.No one in the world could duplicate that.If you're s... |
