| Vandersteen x-over question Call Richard Vandersteen... I think I remember him saying that this will not work for some reason. I can't remember 100%. Will | |
| Should a good system sound bad with bad recording? I've heard (and had) gear that made bad recordings unlistenable. Playing bad recordings through my current set up is more than tolerable. I actually have a fairly large collection of recordings that are recorded very poorly- and while my system ne... | |
| Vandersteen Sub not enought punch??? Perhaps you should try calling Vandersteen, and explain how you have this sub hooked up... Someone there should be able to figure out what the problem is. Will | |
| Your say - AudioQuest DBS system I owned top of the line AudioQuest cables before and after the DBS update, and I can say that in my system, for my taste, the DBS cables are worth the extra money. The improvement that I noticed was mainly in hearing low level detail, which goes h... | |
| Klipschorn: Still relevant?? I inherited two pairs of Klipschorns and a pair of LaScalas some years ago. I lived and listened to music through them for probably two years before becoming completely dissatisfied with the sound. I ended up going with speakers that are no where ... | |
| battling the pops and clicks Some phono stages can emphasize surface noise- maybe try something on an audition like the Aestheitx Rhea. Other than that I would say audition a better turntable. I use a Linn Sondek, and I get very little obnoxious noise and I have some records ... | |
| What is the Meadowlark house sound? Timrhu- I think Meadowlark is still in business, perhaps you were thinking of Dunlavy? Will | |
| Mono block or vertical Bi amps for Vandersteen 2Ce I would go with monoblocks. Vandersteen does not recommend vertical biamplification until you max out your system completely... and even then there are technical issues that can keep you from doing it sucessfully. As RV told me: buy the absolute b... | |
| Anyone into Fat Posum Records? I like some things- I liked the Hasil Adkins release they did a few years ago, and I put out a Hasil 45 myself. Hasil unfortunetely passed away this year, but his hunching memory lives on. Many Fat Possum Artists are truly greatWill | |
| Cause of Channel Imbalance Are your speakers properly connected in phase? Double check. Is the area around the speakers reasonably symmetrical? These are two potential reasons. Will | |
| Solid stylus cleaners: Extreme Phono vs. Onzow Zer I have had good results with the Extreme Phono cleaner. It did arrive with a little substance leaked out, and it still leaks from time to time, and can cause a mess if it's on anything. Other than those problems though, it seems to clean my Linn A... | |
| why spikes under speakers??? The drivers in a speaker cabinet will be positioned more ridgedly with spikes underneath, probably making them able to eek out slightly more detail. Will | |
| Dunlavy SC-IVa Set up help I used to own SC-V's and had them in a room that was 16' x 26' with a 10' ceiling.I could never get completely satisfying results out of them in that room. I ended up selling them and getting Vandersteens, actually. I always had better luck with p... | |
| New speaker with imaging Tabl10s- Yes, there was too much brown but I didn't have much choice at the time, since it was all finished wood. I will try to get new pictures up in the near future- Ok, back on topic now ;)Will | |
| New speaker with imaging Using a certain kind of tube amp with the Vandersteens may account for the sound you heard. Could also have been the positioning in the room. I used to use an Audio Research VT100MKII amplifier on the 3A Signatures and I never would have described... |
