| Best John Mayer Album Haven't heard "Try", but I can say that Continuum is truly excellent - songwriting-wise and guitar-playing wise.I realize it's cool to hate John Mayer, but if you can get over that, Continuum will really reward you.Plus, it's a great album to use ... | |
| Plinius with Vandersteen 2ce For several reasons (including domestic), separates wouldn't work too well for me.So, alas, I'll have to keep slumming it with only an integrated from Plinius.Somehow I'll find the courage to survive. :) | |
| Confused About LP Warps...How Can I Tell?? Thanx for the suggestions...so playing a slightly warped record is not going to shorten the life of a stylus or do anything else harmful?? | |
| Plinius with Vandersteen 2ce I have the 8200 MKII integrated paired with Vandy 2Ce Signatures...wouldn't change a darn thing about it, I assure you!There's never been a time where I've said "Gosh, that's a little too warm" while listening. The Plinius is like a very refined r... | |
| Integrated Help Plinius 8200 MKII would be a great choice - it handles any music extremely well. | |
| Fed Ex Ground Shipping Woes Richard Vandersteen once told me, "Fed Ex for air shipping is wonderful. For anything else - they're total a#$%%les." | |
| Best integrated to drive vandersteen 2c's You can get a Rogue Cronus for under $1,000 secondhand?? | |
| Best integrated to drive vandersteen 2c's As far as sub-$1,000 stuff goes, I had great results using the Audio Refinement Complete integrated with my 2Ce Signatures. Granted, if you play vinyl, you'll have to get a phono stage, but you'll still come in at under $1,000.I'll admit it - even... | |
| Plinius 9100 and 9200? I think you're looking for differences between these:A. 8100/9100B. 8200/8200MKII/9200A has less power and no phono stage...B has manly-man power and a phono stage!So they are different, but I would imagine there's a Plinius "house sound" in them... | |
| Plinius 9100 and 9200? Did you listen to vinyl at all while you had them both?? You also haven't mentioned what speakers you were using when you compared them??From what I understand, Plinius made quite a lot of changes (i.e. improvements) to the phono stage when the 82... | |
| Good cartridge for playing rock Why not try a Dynavector 10X5?? That cartridge rocks pretty dang swell to me...and it would be a bit cheeper than a DV-20X. | |
| Advice For Audio Refinement + Vandersteen Combo? Sorry, forgot to add that the room is about 15' X 11'... | |
| Vandersteen 1C - Best Integrated For Vinyl Lovers? Would it be a bit wiser to perhaps try a new cartridge before trying a new turntable?? Once upon a time I used Grado, but they happen to make an awful hum when used with Rotel...so my local dealer wasn't suggesting much other than Ortofon as a rep... | |
| Vandersteen 1C - Best Integrated For Vinyl Lovers? My apologies for not giving a bit more details about the setup. It's certainly nothing fancy - the Rotel has an Ortofon cartridge, and it's just a run of the mill Sony SACD player. Speaker wire is typical 12-gauge. Doesn't seem like this gear woul... |
