| ENTIRE SYSTEM NEEDED TO SELL Please accept my condolences. Personally, I think there are many fine people here on A'gon that would be willing to assist you in estimating the used worth of your husband's system. This can be done remotely, but if we had an idea of the area in w... | |
| pros and cons: beryllium vs ribbon tweeters in sound and emotions terms The specially doped berrylium tweeter which is paired with a rear facing ribbons ambience tweeter in the new Von Schweikert VR55 yields the best treble that I have ever heard - fast, subtle, detailed, dynamic and absolutely no peakiness, overempha... | |
| When I have seen people listing their systems lately I am sticking with CDs for now. The next thing with potential is Meridian MQA (Master Quality Assured). I have talked to speaker designers with great ears and they feel that many good current CD players beat all current computer formats but that c... | |
| What do you do when you live hours from nowhere I live in a rural area and celebrate the beauty and total silence. I have gotten know people on Audiogon and once mutual respect and rapport is established, often first through Private Message and then by phone, one person has flown 1,000 miles to... | |

| Review: Von Schweikert Audio VR55 Aktive Speaker Whytejon - Just saw your post question - sorry the response took so long. "Considering the money - are they that much better than the Annis?" At 9 months of ownership, for me they definitely are. They have improved even more over these months sinc... | |
| Comparing SACD sound to High Res Thanks Kr4. I just of another option for comparing tonight -duh! I will play the CD version as well as the High Res version all through the Sony into the Ayon preamp section, to take the different pathway out of the equation. If there is a signifi... | |
| Comparing SACD sound to High Res OK, I have now listened to a half dozen well recorded Blue Ray and SACD through my $120 Sony DVD player plugged into my Ayon preamp, and compared this to the well recorded CD version from the same masters of the same pieces through the transport/D... | |
| Comparing SACD sound to High Res Last night I listened to a 2L recording from the same high bit master of the same music on Blue Ray compared to SACD. The recording engineer states that he prefers Blue Ray as even clearer, more detailed and dynamic, but some prefer the SACD as mo... | |
| Comparing SACD sound to High Res Thank you everyone for the input. In my system I notice a big difference in well recorded CDs, for example Reference Recordings HDCD and run of the mill on my Ayon CD5s player. I have listened to a few DVD-A and SACD but only over my Sony DVD play... | |
| Comparing SACD sound to High Res Thank you for the posts. So, I am understanding from input that SACD can hold its own with all the new high res download formats, making the performance and recording quality more of a factor in hearing stellar, engaging sound than what high res f... | |
| New speaker technology vs. Old speaker tech??? I think this depends on the loudness at which you listen, type of music and room. I got a pair of VR1s for my brother - he was totally happy and I was very impressed. The VR1 just sounds much better than it has a right to sound at its size and pri... | |
| Room correction - what device works best? I just want to thank everyone for making this thread intelligent, informative, encouraging and respectful. I had begun to fade my time on A'gon after too many uninformed opinions delivered with vitriol on too many threads. I am learning something ... | |
| Room correction - what device works best? Well, I read through the DEQX threads - seems intimidating to have to take the speakers (mine about 300 lbs each) into the yard, and then spend month dialing the thing in to get the best from it. But results seem excellent. My speakers are designe... | |
