| Servicing Technics SP10 w/Audiocraft Arm in N.J. Thanks for the responses. I'm less than an hour's drive from Plainfield so I may look into KAB Electro. I noticed he deals with the 1200 tables but did not see anything about SP10 tables. Mine is the the MKI version with wooden plinth, Audiocraft ... | |
| Shunyata hydra 2 or ps audio duet for class d amp? I have had success with LessLoss PC's on my Class D amps. On my ARC 150.2 Tripath amp the LessLoss Signature PC was better than plugging into the Hydra 4. The LessLoss goes straight into the wall.On my Red Dragon Class D Mono's the standard LessLo... | |
| Vandersteen 2ce Sig II Listen to John @ Audio Connection. The laser tilt back and side bubble level treatment that he did on my 3ASigs was 'Major". Thank you Captain. | |
| Good integrated match for B&W CDM 1 NT I had those speakers at one time. Unfortunate situation as to why. Had them hooked up to a NAD C370 which I do still have. It was a great match. Replaced them with some inexpensive Tannoy Reveal Studio Monitors which are nice but cannot compare to... | |
| What stereo amp sounds better than digital monos? I also own the Red Dragon M 500 amps and I agree that for the $'s they are quite remarkable sounding amps. I have also been using them with banana plugs with no problems. I have not found them to be tipped up in the detail dept although maybe with... | |
| Review: Red Dragon M500 Amplifier Great review. There seems to be very little discussion on the web about these amps. Wondering what preamps some of you Red Dragon owners are using? I have the M-500's mated with an ARC SP 16 tube pre. I'm using a SCE Harmonic Recovery System Inter... | |
| Nad M3? Need amp for Vandersteen 3 $3,000 budget I have those speakers and have used Bryston 3B-ST and Quicksilver V4 Tube Mono Blocks. I have recently settled on Red Dragon M-500 Class D Mono Block amps. The others were good in their own ways but overall I prefer the Red Dragons. Clean, powerfu... | |
| Is good customer service about dead? I just this week had a problem with one of my Quicksilver V4 amps. After speaking with my dealer, John Rutan at Audio Connection, he offered to come and pick it up or have me drop it by for him to take a look at it. I brought it by and he went str... | |
| Wyred 4 sound vs Red Dragon digital mono blocks?? Last week I compared the Red Dragon M-500 Monos to ARC 100.2 with ARC SP 16/Vandersteen 3A Sigs and I preferred the Dragons, although the ARC sounded good. The Dragons had more bass, better high end extension which is very sweet sounding with more... | |
| Magnepan 1.7's best sub match?? I've had great results with the Vandersteen 2W sub with my 1.6 Maggies in a fairly small room with a low drop ceiling sitting near field. What it does mainly is opens everything up so that the soundstage is huge in a wrap around way and the upper ... | |
| What about JJ KT88 tubes? I've been using JJ KT-88's in my Quicksilver V4 Amps (4 per channel) with no problems. No biasing issues as well. Sounds great. | |
| Vandersteen Treo at RMAF I would also be interested in hearing about the differences between the Treo and the 3a Sigs. I own the 3A Sigs and find them to be very fine speakers. In what ways do the Treos fit between the 3A Sigs and the Quatros? Are the drivers better? Does... | |
| Audible Illusions M3A preamp--best matching amp I've had my AIM3A with the ARC 150.2 for several years now and I find it a terrific match. Maggie 1.6/Vandy 2W Sub are the speakers.Before that I had the Bryston 3BST and while it was good, the ARC is better in every way. Good luck. | |
| Killer Kitchen System under $800 or so? Maybe not ideal or what you are looking for but my kitchen system sounds incredible and especially considering what it cost.The speakers are Insignia NS-B21111 Bookshelf Speakers from Best Buy. I paid $35 for them 2 years ago. The amp is a Lepai T... | |
| Vandersteen 2Ce Signature vs 3A Are upgrades to the mid range driver of an older 3A Sig possible and if so what are the sonic benefits and cost? I love the sound of my Vandy's but if I can make them better I'd like to do it. Thanks John. |
