| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade Zd542 - I have owned the 3A's since 1995 and had them upgraded to Sigs couple of years ago. I'd say I'm pretty familiar with them. I'm asking about the Treo having a hot top end resulting in exaggerated sibilance. It was very apparent in the demo.... | |
| The New Cream re-issues My Vinyl Lovers Fresh Cream is quite good, particularly the vocals/midrange. Really engaging and sometimes riveting. Still available. | |
| How do you respond to this question? I bought The Monkees in mono in 196? and have been playing vinyl since. If it's not broke don't fix it. I tried CD - it was definitely broke. . 30 years later CD got fixed. But too late for me. I have a long history love affair with vinyl. | |
| Led Zeppelin Mothership The original and subsequent releases sound fine in the midrange but lack extension, detail, dynamics, definition and the blacker background of C Day. The new re-releases have a good tonal balance, focus and clarity and are a real hoot. But, yes, a... | |
| Led Zeppelin Mothership Performances aside, how does the Mothership album compare to Celebration Day in sonics? I find Celebration Day sonically quite good, much better than the "new" LZ releases. Is Mothership really third place, being bested by the reworked albums as w... | |

| preamp for vandersteen Quatro You can't go wrong with the ARC. I have the Ayre V-5xe with the ARC Ref3. No complaints. I'm curious also if the Ayre pre could be a better combo. Hoping not. I have the Vandersteen 3A sigs. | |
| B&W 603 S3 verses DM 640 The consensus at the time was that the 603 was a much better sounding speaker. I never heard the 603 but I did own the DM640's. The 640 has a nice kevlar midrange driver. The woofers are boomy and inefficient. They need quality power to bring out ... | |
| Bad news for audiophiles? Wine and audio are drugs. Where did that money go? | |
| Audio out to RCA input on new Sony TV's? I use an earphone mini jack to RCA cable. Under "Audio Settings" set the phone jack from "headphones" to "audio out". The quality is very good. | |

| Tube life in preamp. Please help I used Telefunken in mine. I found the 6DJ8/ECC88 to sound better in the SP9 MKII , and the 6922/E88CC to sound better in the MKIII. They both lasted more than five years in standby. | |
