| Vandersteen 2CE v NHT 2.5?? or ?? If you are just going by looks, I don't see how anyone could argue that the Vandersteen 2's aren't the best looking speakers ever. Well, maybe the 3's are better looking, but that's it. | |
| Looking for Primare PRE30 owners : "Are you PRE30 owner by any chance?"No. If I did I would have already have tried to see if mine did the same thing. I've just seen a lot of remote issues. I know some of the other posters have experience with Primare. Hopefully, they'll see your p... | |
| Yaqin MC-10T no bass? Take an actual store bought CD that you know the sound of and play it through an actual CD or DVD player. Using that as a source, is there still a bass problem? The CD/DVD player doesn't have to be anything high end or expensive. Also, your amp ma... | |
| Set-Up Advice for Vandersteen 1Cs "Yep I used the manual. Don't recall it being specific about the amount of tilt. No substitute for dialing it in with listening though. The stand up, sit down test is very revealing if there is too much tilt."If you go through the manual, its the ... | |
| Audience Conductor "E" or "SE" speaker cable? "So, my observation is that some cables will mate better with your individual system, regardless of cost. I'd love to find something better myself, under $500? Any suggestions?"Find a good used pair of Audioquest CV-6 or CV-8. They sound great and... | |
| What compares favorably with Audioquest Niagras I would stay with AQ. You may want to try a copper cable. For me, AQ silver usually sounds good going from a source to a preamp, but AQ copper is better between an amp and preamp. And the combo holds true when I swap components. I always prefer th... | |
| Hi-rez download advice needed "So the question is, should I go for the 24/192 download, or is that too high a resolution for either my ipod or for wifi? Will it play through my system?"I would go for the best quality you can buy. Even if your current system doesn't support the... | |
| Audioquest K2 - Genuine or Fake Thanks. I see exactly what you are talking about. | |
| Looking for Primare PRE30 owners : Try a different remote. If you have a universal remote, that should be fine just to test to see if your old one is bad. Also, make sure you are not pushing the buttons on the remote too hard. Pushing too hard may actually pull down other buttons t... | |
| Interesting bilind testing of Stradivarius Violin "Just out of curiosity, what other vintage objects are considered superior to their modern equivalents? I don't mean more desirable or valuable, but actually better at their intended task."McDonald's hamburgers (they keep shrinking), gas with led ... | |
| Set-Up Advice for Vandersteen 1Cs "05-22-14: CtsoonerI assumed the 1's could be biwired. When you hear Richard himself talk about wiring, it's very interesting. His speakers definitely need to be biwired or you'll lose what you paid for. That's a must and anyone will tell you that... | |
| Ayon CD-07 CD superior in sound to competition? Cable Company is an Ayon dealer. They may have a demo unit to send you so you can try it first.As far as what CD player is the best from your list above, I can't say. It will come down to personal preference more than anything. I really like Ayre ... | |
| Set-Up Advice for Vandersteen 1Cs "05-22-14: TimrhuBe careful with the tilt. I found very little tilt worked best for me with both the 1Cs and the 2CEs. Discovered this after setting tilt and noting how much better they sounded when I was standing in front of my chair. I straighte... | |
| Audioquest K2 - Genuine or Fake How do you know that the OP's cables are fake? Looking at both pictures I'm not sure if I see the difference. | |
| Quad 22L2 What kind of speakers did they replace? |
