| Set-Up Advice for Vandersteen 1Cs You need 2 things to set your speakers up properly. The stands and the owners manual. There's no way you are going to get it right otherwise. If the seller didn't include the manual, you can download it from Vandersteen's web site. Read through it... | |
| Amplifier is now off the Power Conditioner "05-20-14: MceljoI think the Shunyata Triton is a bit of a stretch at $5k considering it would be an equal financial investment to the rest of my stereo gear combined, actually more. I would be interested to hear the difference, however."The Cable... | |
| Amp to replace Audio Research D200 I would definitely consider it. I haven't heard one but it looks like an extremely nice component. For you, I don't its a question of it being good or bad. Its likely to be very different than what you are used to. Cleaner, more power, more detail... | |
| Home Theater IMAX Experience w/ A Robinson-Youtube Avgoround,Well, I tried to be nice and look at what it got me; another list! I was going to say that if you didn't fully understand my point, read Criderfive's last post. He just lays it all out extremely well. I won't speak for him, but I don't t... | |
| Interesting bilind testing of Stradivarius Violin "05-19-14: Rodman99999Like any other listening test. Totally subjective!"Not true. | |
| Amp to replace Audio Research D200 "05-16-14: Roxy54It might be best to stick with what you know and love rather than experiment with the unknown and be disappointed."I have to agree. The D200, 300 and 400's were some very good sounding amps. They've been out of production for quit... | |
| Best $600 integrated for Monitor Audio RX-2? I think there's 3 versions. The 5350SE (original version), the 5350SE (classic/2nd version) and the Evolution 5350. I was talking about the first or second version. There's very little difference between the 2. Either would be OK. I had the origin... | |
| Home Theater IMAX Experience w/ A Robinson-Youtube Avgoround,What I really don't understand here why you bothered to post this question to begin with? You're so emotionally caught up in your position on this, why ask people for their opinions? "Looking for input on what others think of the series,... | |
| Clementine Media player I use it. Its a great all around player that can support very large libraries. It can do most, if not all that Amarok can do but, without the silly interface. I don't feel I'm experienced enough with CA to judge sound quality, but I do know a few ... | |
| Best $600 integrated for Monitor Audio RX-2? I had the Silver S8's. Similar to yours, but floor standing. Unless you have a large room or high volume requirements, the amps you list above should work OK. I list the Creek mainly for sound quality and that it was a great match with MA. | |
| Upgrade Marantz 5004 CDP to what ? "I wish I could hear some Acram cdp players I have read very positive things about them in the forums.""I have a creek tuner that I bought for 90 bucks on here and it's smoother and provides more depth and layered soundstage then the marantz. I wo... | |
| Need "warm" interconnects advice I wish I had tungsten-carbide balls. | |
| Vandersteen 2CE v NHT 2.5?? or ?? "This may not be your case but if it rings true you might want to talk to a dealer intimately familiar with the 2CE, John Rutan of Audio Connection perhaps?"Very good idea. John is the best Vandersteen person I know of. I bought my 2's from him. O... | |
| Best $600 integrated for Monitor Audio RX-2? I've heard most of the amps you mention above. I would add a Creek 5350 to your list. You may be able to find a used one in your price range. I can't say for sure because I haven't listened to all the amps above, but the Creek should easily beat t... | |
| Vandersteen 2CE v NHT 2.5?? or ?? I had the 2.5's and I'm pretty sure I heard the Kappa 7, but it was a long time ago. I feel the 2CE's are in a completely different league. Before you get rid of them, I would make sure you have them set up properly and matched to electronics that... |
