| Carbon Fiber Vandersteen 5As at CES? Interesting... Although I would have to wonder this- If the 5 series is totally upgradable, then it wouldn't make much sense to scrap the cabinet and make it out of carbon fiber... and that seems like it would make it way, way more expensive. My g... | |
| Side or back wall more important for speakers? Front Wall. | |

| Record Cleaners / RCMs I also clean all new records- I clean every record that comes into my collection these days on my Loricraft and place them into polylined paper sleeves after. All the new records I buy have a lot of static build up and collect dust like a Swiffer.... | |
| ARC VT100MkII I owned this amp for like a year, so I'll respond where I can.1) What is its sonic signature? Is it relaxed, laid back, forward?I felt that this amplifier is slightly forward. In my system it did not sound relaxed or laid back, but it was also not... | |
| isolating your amp I use the Solid Tech Disc's of Silence under both my monoblocks. You could also use the Feet of Silence. I think they provide excellent isolation, and they are way cheaper than Grand Prix Audio anything. Will | |
| Record Cleaning Machines I researched these machines before purchasing, and if I could have afforded it I probably would have bought the Keith Monks. It is ridiculously expensive. I ended up buying the Loricraft because I felt the VPI may require more long term maintenanc... | |
| Help with re-tubing an ARC VT100 MkII I personally do not think you need to have the unit sent back to ARC. I had a VT-100MKII for a while, and I purchased new tubes from ARC and retubed it myself, easily. Biasing the power tubes is easy. I do not know how to bias the input tubes, but... | |
| 3-Meter vs. 10-Foot Long Speaker Cables If you are going to mix and match copper and silver wires for the bass/mids & highs- that may present a sonic blending problem.That would definetely overshadow a 2" length difference. Will | |
| Are reviewers biased towards equipment they own? I think that anyone is biased towards the equipment they own. That's why you own it in the first place, right? Will | |
| whats your idea of loud music. Im 27, and I prefer to listen to most music about 65-70db (listening position). When I do crank it up, I rarely go much more than about 80db at the listening position... and 80+db often seems too much. Will | |
| Audiophiles DO NOT USE DHL-READ MY NIGHTMARE I had one DHL experience in my life- A dealer was fixing my Vox AC30tb when it was still under warranty. They shipped it back to me so I wouldn't have to pick it up. DHL left the amplifier in a snowbank near my house without getting a signature or... | |
| Opinions on Classe Cam-350's? I don't know how they compare to the new Cam-400's, but I did live with CAM-350's for well over a year. I think that those amplifiers have great impact and have a smooth musical sound with very good resolution. They definetely do not image as well... | |
| Vandersteen Upgrade Path After reading SDcampbell's post, I agree with it. Regular 3A's with the possibility to upgrade in the future if you so choose. I was not thinking of that possibility before at all! Will |
