| ARC Ref150 or Aesthetix Atlas with Vandersteen 5A I agree with Keithr about Audio Connection. I've done business with them. John's probably the best Vandersteen person out there; besides Vandersteen himself. Also, with regards to your amp, have you ever listened to an Ayre/Vandersteen system? I k... | |
| Here’s my $1750…just tell me what to buy.. Rotel has always made some very good mulitchannel amps. They don't cost a fortune, either. Also, B&w and Rotel are one company, so you can be fairly certain that it will be a good match for your speakers. I think Parasound would be another exc... | |
| Test CD : In Phase / Out of Phase test I was in a hurry when I typed out my response this morning. Also, with the posting delay, things can get confusing. The last post I see is Kiwi from today, the 3 paragraph states he will try my recommendation (zd542). Just to keep context, this re... | |
| iTunes dropping album artwork That's OK. The delay between when you post and when your post shows up can make things very confusing. I was in a bit of a hurry when I typed my response. The reason I suggested you try all of that, is sometimes things like external HD's don't ful... | |
| Dielectric grease and tubes "Battery grease is what your talking about. Its used for corrosion on DC powerplant connections, and is conductive."That's something else. Dielectric grease is used for corrosion but is not conductive. Like you say, though, you can get grease that... | |
| Test CD : In Phase / Out of Phase test Nothing is wrong with your system. There are different ways you can be out of phase. In the demo that you are talking about it sounds like the speakers are out of phase with each other. This is not something that you would normally need to worry a... | |
| iTunes dropping album artwork Try turning on your external HD before you boot the OS. If your drive does not have a power switch, unplug it and plug it back in again. Wait a few seconds for the HD to fully start up and then power up your computer. Once the OS is booted up, mak... | |
| Proac response 2.5 or Dynaudio Special 25 I believe you would be happier with your 2.5's. I had them, as well and can give you some advice on how to get more out of them. Your Rowland is a good match for the speaker, but not the best. Its a very unusual piece. I have a Rowland 112 which I... | |
| laptop to DAC wireless ... what's the best way? I'm pretty sure you can do it with an Apple Air Port Express. Works with PC as well as MAC. | |
| How to attach spades to Primare speaker terminals? If he can attach bare wire than he should be able to clamp down a spade terminal the same way, unless he has the same kind of terminals that come on cheap mass market stuff like a Best Buy receiver. The plastic gets in the way and prevents the use... | |
| Dielectric grease and tubes "The only reason I thought of it was because when you install spark plug wires you dab a bit on the electrical connections prior to installing them."I know that a lot of people do this but its not really a good thing to do. You don't want to but a... | |
| Adcom 5503 not producing Bass "E-Bay didn't sell you the amp."Maybe. Ebay didn't make up the ad and take an active role in selling the product but they did take a commission when the sale was made. "So, did I get ripped off buying from eBay?"Its a combination. You bought the a... | |
| Recommendations for good Class A SS Amp 100-200W I think you may be going about this the wrong way. As far as power ratings go, there is no standard. For example 10 different amps from 10 different companies all rated at 100 watts per channel will all put out a different amounts of power. As far... | |
| Amarra HiFi & HD Tracks I would check to make sure you have all the proper codec's in stalled to play the type of files you have. Also, make sure your OS and all other software is updated and configured properly. You don't list your system. You may be asking your dac to ... | |
| iTunes dropping album artwork Are you using an external HD? Also, what format are you using for your music files? |
