| ARC VSI 60 vs Cary SLI 80 or BAT 300xse What did you think of the BAT? I'm just curious. I'm not saying you made a bad choice or anything like that. | |
| Bi-wire jumper config "04-20-15: Lowrider57I believe there are situations of placebo effect, but here some of Almarg's thoughts on the matter..."You could have someone change the configuration a few times and not tell you. Then do some listening and see if you can hear... | |
| Speaker wire/cables opinion "I wish we could buy our own wires to connect the speakers internally (am I on to something here?). This would ensure consistency in the speaker chain. Probably that's why people and reviewers (not people=cats and pooches) say cables sound so diff... | |
| Goertz still the choice with Vandersteen? Just use AQ and be sure to biwire. | |
| Are Mac and PC equal? I like Mac's myself, but for audio I cant bring myself to use one. If you compare the quality of components that you can hand select for a PC build, a Mac is a hard purchase to justify. I do understand that a Mac is more robust and reliable, but i... | |
| Totem Forest Signature -or- Spendor D7 " I'm thinking your initial post was aimed at getting a comparative critique from experts that have heard both speakers; get some tips on what to listen for in comparing the two. Viewed that way, didn't seem particularly silly to me."I understand ... | |

| Audio Research VT-100 repair I would try Stereo Exchange. They're on Broadway between Bleecker and Houston. They sell ARC and have a service department right in the store. Overall, I don't care for the store, but they're service department is very good. | |
| Totem Forest Signature -or- Spendor D7 "04-24-15: ShawnlhUseless replies are unnecessary."Only an amateur upstart audiophile would say common sense is unnecessary. Just remember, the system you buy is the system you have to listen to. | |
| Anyone got a Counterpoint SA5000 Service Manual? Try http://www.highendaudiorepair.com/. I know he repairs Counterpoint, but I don't know if he will give or sell you a service manual. He definitely has one, though. | |
| Totem Forest Signature -or- Spendor D7 "04-24-15: AudiotroyThe whole post is silly, how can you ask any other person to choose speakers for your ears, and why would you not be open to any other speakers?You need to listen for yourself with you components if you can not get to a dealer ... | |
| Totem Forest Signature -or- Spendor D7 Which speaker of the two, did you prefer? | |
| Coupling Banana Plugs For your rear speakers, there's really no reason to use expensive cables. A spool of Audioquest or Monster should be all you need. Use anything more than that, and I don't think you'll be able to hear a difference. | |
| Peachtree or Hegel Integrated? Find a good used Creek 5350SE. I don't know if it ever got any good reviews, but it sounds good. |
