| Vandersteen 2ci used. Good speaker/bargain? Thanks to you Adam for your thoughtfulness, no hard feelings really :) | |
| Vandersteen 2ci used. Good speaker/bargain? Viridian, I hear you. Sometimes I forget that not everyone has been visiting this site as long as we have and it may not be common knowledge to all readers who they are if they don't make it clearly known. It is an important point though. The poin... | |
| Vandersteen 2ci used. Good speaker/bargain? Adam you might try reading the WHOLE thread before you put your foot in your mouth and ramble on about egos. You are coming into the game too late to act as referee. No one is saying anything about the value of the speakers and what R. Vandersteen... | |
| Vandersteen 2ci used. Good speaker/bargain? "It is in their interest and the interests of other advertisers in their publications to diminish what Vandersteen has been able to produce and offer at such a low price!!"I don't get this statement at all. To what end does Stereophile gain anythi... | |
| Vandersteen 2ci used. Good speaker/bargain? The best I ever heard the 2ce sigs and the 3a sigs was with ARC tube electronics. This includes over the years many different amplifiers including Threshold SA-1s, the best of the SS and wonderful in their own right, McCormack, Nad, Krell KMA100's... | |
| Do Interconnects need to "warm up"? very funny Audiofeil:) Break in, in some cases yes, warm up? not in my experience, probably the electronics. Funny thing about that phenomenon as well, some electronics it is quite obvious there is a warm-up period, ARC amps for instance. So far a... | |
| Guilty Pleasure via Reader’s Digest I have 2 boxed sets of Reader's Digest "Popular music that will live forever" great recordings as well as performances. One is from my parents music collection which I inherited since I'm the only one of the siblings it seems that loved these reco... | |
| Vandersteen 2ci used. Good speaker/bargain? Geez Wattnatt, I don't think Viridian was showing total ignorance at all by just stating what was published. So far as Stereophile goes, Vandersteen used to advertise in their magazine, not sure if they still do and I can't possibly see any reason... | |
| A true believer "Why is it that, when I read one of your posts, I feel more stupid than usual. :) You are one of the more thoughtful and knowledgable guys on this site. And you do speak from personal experience. There is no subsitute for that."Well I try to be th... | |
| Tenor 75 Wi OTL Ralph out of curiosity, why is this amp putting out so much heat, 720 watts per monoblock? This seems quite high based on the number of output tubes at least compared to the Joule which uses this tube as well. | |
| A true believer "I will allow you to restate this. I assume you spoke in haste. It seems as if you are saying musicians don't know how to listen to music. I played as an adult, not age 10. Maybe musicians just know what to listen for. One of the old mags had a fe... | |
| Tenor 75 Wi OTL Glory, I am glad this seems to be working out for you. On a further note it seems like these amplifiers throw off new levels of heat considering the power rating, 720 watts per amp!!! I'm not sure this is at full power or just when you turn them o... | |
| A true believer "what an arrogant statement!!! YOU found his reviews useless?? Why? Because he didn't say the nonsense you wanted to hear? Are you saying there is a difference between a music 'enthusiast' and an audiophile? hmmmmm"My point rok2id is that I found ... | |
| A true believer rok2id - A simple question to you, do you really believe that all amplifiers sound alike? Julian Hirsh measured gear, he didn't really listen. He was the voice of the flat earthers of audio. Even back in those days when I was a music enthusiast, n... | |
| A true believer Rok2idI REALLY am starting to enjoy your sense of humor! Keep it up, it keeps things on a lite note:) |
