| Something just isn't there I'm surprised tubes haven't been mentioned. Amperex 7308's (warm) vs. Siemens E88CC (cool) for instance. The Audioquest Diamondback is no doubt limiting extension, focus and definition as budget cables do IME.The table and cart combo get praise ... | |
| Heard the B&W N804d3s ... I had a similar sized room with the much lesser B&W DM640’s. They worked well with a high current amp (Classe CA-150) but were very lean with other amps I tried. They were too hot for nearfield though and I upgraded to Vandersteen 3A (now Sigs... | |
| Downsizing from VPI HW-19 When the three screws are set properly there will not be any advantage to getting a lesser table. Once you screw up the cart alignment on the new one you’ll have the same problem - lack of skill and experience. For the record, if you have concrete... | |
| VPI HW-19 Mk IV platter The VPI forum will give you the no B.S. answer. I have a MKIV as well. http://vpiindustries.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=12 | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade "Simply put it just doesn't move the air in the mid bass that gives rock the slam and boogie that Wlutke likes even though the Treo is quite capable of going quite low in frequency. He is willing to give up some of that resolution for the impact a... | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade ig316b -I'm with you. I like the Treo but sadly no subs allowed in my room. | |

| Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room? There may be no right or wrong answer here. Everyone makes a good case for their preference. I have 6.5" full range drivers (SET powered), crossed over to super tweeters at 10k and an 8" sub. I don't need anything more than the 8" sub. Within... | |
| Tinnitus and its affect on listening enjoyment I had similar thoughts on "midrange glare". In the end the answer was wire and tube choice. The interesting thing to me was that adjusting the midrange level on the speaker did not help. Adjusting the tweeter level had a huge affect on the "mid... | |

| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade Thanks for the input Johnny. I love my Vandersteens - it seems like we all do. They're a great value and tick so many boxes for the money. I'm not sure that I'll ever be in Verona, NJ but if I ever am (you never know) I will definitely stop by.... | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade By monopolize I meant continuously and insistently undermining any and all opinions that portray the Vandersteen in any but the most glorious light. I say the Treo is wimpy, because it is in my eyes. I don't say things about the ability of Treo... | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade hifimans response was directed to me personally in response to my observations of the Treos unaided bass. He extolled the virtues of the mids and treble, stating that he had no experience with the Treos run full range, therefor no opinion on the ... | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade The Treo has better mids, and the CT undoubtedly has better treble. That’s giving them their due. This discussion is about bass, so hifimans "well put" comments are outside the parameters of this discussion, which is about the unaided bass of the ... | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade ctsooner - More accurate reproduction alone does not a better speaker make. Musicality and accuracy without bass drive = Treo. It's OK for polite listening but is less than the sum of its parts on bass heavy rock. BTW there is plenty of rock w... |
