| Vandersteen 3x Owners: More Bass? I agree that your front end is not an issue and especially like the CD3 as a CDP. One of my friends has the 3A/2Wq combination and in his listening room the bass did not sound nearly as good as the 2Cis without subs did in my room. The room can ma... | |
| Vandersteen 3x Owners: More Bass? I had a pair of 2Cis for 12 years in a 2 channel system located in a large living room with a cathedral ceiling. I listen to a lot of jazz and the bass was incredibly good - I never considered I needed subs to extend or fill the low end in. The ba... | |
| Automatic tube timer? I'm still looking for a digital hour meter running off 12v dc. Hopefully one of you has seen such a thing and can point me to it?Thanks | |
| Female Vocalist like Diana Krall, Jacintha. Besides those mentioned, Karrin Allyson - "In Blue" is a widely ranging mix of captivating soul jazz classics and ballads. Jane Monheit - "Come Dream With Me" great standards with the best rendition of Over the Rainbow I have ever heard. Both have... | |
| Automatic tube timer? Dogeatpuppy - I went to their web site catalogue but don't see any analog meters. Can you be more specific? | |
| Feel vs. Think - take an objective look... As I'm sure many of you know, Myers-Briggs measures our personalities in terms of "preferences". The thinking vs feeling scale (one of four) relates to how we prefer to make decisions in the world around us. Thinkers can give detailed explaination... | |
| Why aren't all CDs created equally? Warrenh,I can totally resonate with your experience - some CDs are so fine they tingle your spine, and others beg to be skipped over. I too have a high definition system and share your selection of Patricia Barber "Modern Cool" as one of my favori... | |
| Need opinion on Audioquest Anacondas. What say Meech, how about your characterization of the Anaconda? | |
| Who are the Jazz Cats on Audiogon? It's the first thing I reach for when I'm ready to listen, and is the only thing I use for auditioning anything new. | |
| Loading times / problems on Agon ??? I have only noticed this over the last few days, and if I do a refresh, I can usually get a response although very slow. Definitely a change in performance... | |
| Need opinion on Audioquest Anacondas. I am using the Anaconda XLRs for both CD-Preamp and Preamp-amp, since I wanted to run all balanced. My selection was the result of listening at various dealers, and a converstation with Richard Vandersteen where he recommended AQ to mate well with... | |
| Best electronics for Vandersteen 5/5A I have 5As on order and will start out using an ARC LS25 MKII and an ARC VT100 MKIII. This decision was based on listening at my dealers and some general feedback from a number of Vandersteen users that ARC tube equipment is a great match. I can l... | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" I would never have discovered these two New Orleans traditional style jazz CDs except I was there recently and and wandered into a music store. New Discovery #1: Leroy Jones "Back To My Roots"This trumpet, trombone, piano, bass and drums combinati... | |
| Speaker/Room help needed I agree that getting your couch out some might help. Also, some basic measurements would be very informative. If you have access to a RS sound pressure meter and a test CD, plotting the sound pressure response of the room at the listening position... | |
| Why MDF so Bad??? I'm considering maple shelves for a wooden cabinet. I assume the grain should run horizontally. Has anyone tried a verical grain such as a butcher block? |
