Best Cd Player under $100,000
You will need to invest at least 500k in building a dedicated sound room around your 100k player or it's not gonna make a hill of beans anyway. But BEFORE all this GET YOUR HEARING CHECKED. Your will need a pair of million dollar hearing aids to e... 
Von Schweikert DB-99 Owners
No problems- I have a dedicated line. Have had problems with bad interconnect giving hum but when things are set up right things are all quiet. 
Cain & cain abbey vs Zu Druid
Just a comment. With all that has been said recently regarding Zu speakers -6 Moons review etc. I would have thought there would have been more comments here. Compare and contrast impressions between these speakers would be interesting. Good Luck 
DB99 bass volume level-what is your setting?
Oh yea,Yo-Yo Ma-- at about three P.M. ! Woowza the rafters are moving. :) 
DB99 bass volume level-what is your setting?
This will depend greatly on the room, source, interconnects, cables. With that said in a 15 x 17.8 ft room I keep it a notch above the middle or about 60-70%. Keep in mind I am using a temp CD source at this moment.BTW, did VSA come up with anythi...

Delancy,Sorry I should have specified this-- my figures are from the center of the woofer to the wall. Is the three feet you refer to from the back of the speaker or from it's woofer which would effectifly putit another foot aprox into your room? ... 
Need advice on a very dynamic, full range speaker?
Von Schweikert DB-99, read my post in the Vandie/DB-99 comparison thread.Best 
Von Schweikert DB99 or Vandersteen 5A ??
Before I go into this I'd like to say I have not heard the Vandies- So I only share my personal experience, and I suppose taste, with the 99's.As an owner of the 99's I can say they are an amazing speaker and VERY versatile with the amps which can...

Not trying to take over the thread but I am tweaking the speaker placement and was wondering where others placed them from the walls. Currently mine are 4.1 ft from side wall and 6.1 ft from back wall in a 15 ft wide room. Where have you all found... 
Von Schweikert synergy
I use Consonance 211's with the DB-99's. Very good synergy. Albert uses them with the 99's in the shop among others.

Just hooked the 99's up to the consonance 211's and WOW they sound good. Will be getting the Droplet soon. I am currently committing a sin and using a $100.00 Apex carousel CD player that I had stuck away since college with them as a standby. Amaz... 
Hot Droplet?
Thanks,I have spoken with a few others who have verified they run no hotter that a tube CD does and that the sound quality is amazing for the price.

Cooch,Good for you, let us know what/if they come up with something for you.Saxman2- yes pics would be great if you could post. 
Von Schweikert DB 99-ribbon add on tweeter
Cooch,Just call VSA- they are outstanding people and I am sure if you want a cloth grill they could make something work for you. For the cost of the tweeter a cloth grill is pennies. I am pumped to see a few more DB-99 owners. There are a few in t...

I am considering trying Tonian Labs ribbon tweeter with the 99's as it has gotten good reviews (6 moons)and is less expensive than VSA's.
