| Biamping, yes or no? The chances of doing something like that and having it sound good is almost 0. If you want to upgrade, why not just go with the M180's by themselves? That would probably sound a lot better. | |
| Cables more hype than value? There is a wide variety of opinions out there. What do you think? | |
| DVD set ratings password bypass I would look inside the unit and see if they use a battery to store this info. If so, I would remove the battery and let it sit for a while, and then try it. | |
| best speakers to match with the rogue Chronus magn I like Vandersteen's as well (I use them in my main system), but they definitely have a sweet spot. If you want better off axis listening, you may like something from Mirage. They're known for that. | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Sorry it took so long but I didn't see the post right away. The reason I asked for a list of your components is that in your description of the problem, I felt it was likely that your CD player could be at fault as well. Things like dynamic contra... | |

| Ayre vs Conrad Johnson I agree with Timo62. I doubt there is anyone else out there that knows Vandersteen better than John from Audio Connection. Great place to do business. | |

| Affordable "Thiel type" speakers are? "DrJA pre owned pair of Vandersteen 3A Sigs also has its drivers wired in phase like the Thiels and can perform superbly in that size room. Why other folks are recommending speakers with outta phase mid ranges for you is beyond me.JohnnyR"I unders... | |
| Interconnects between table and phono stage I use Audioquest with my Scout. The DBS does a very good job keeping the cables broken in. You can use a regular pair of IC's, also. No need to get a phono IC. | |
| Affordable "Thiel type" speakers are? You would probably like something from Audio Physic. You can probably find something used in your price range. | |
| When your system gets a cold Do you run your preamp in active or passive mode? | |
| Ayre vs Conrad Johnson I've owned several products from Ayre and CJ. Vandersteen is my favourite speaker, as well. I love all 3 brands but if I had to choose between Ayre or CJ for Vandersteen's it would definitely be Ayre. (Actually, I've already made the choice. I use... |
