| Are you getting the bass you deserve? @roadwhorerecords LOL you beat me to it! Waiting for the sales pitch.... | |
| Vandersteen 2ce Sigs with bass coupler issue @frazeur1 Well, it was definitely the 10" bass coupler voice coil. It became deformed somehow. I took the driver over to my local tech - Casper at Stereo Rehab in Chicago - and he actually just manipulated the cone for a few minutes and got it... | |
| Vandersteen 2ce Sigs with bass coupler issue @jcoehler @jasonbourne52 Thanks for your replies. I received a reply from Richard Vandersteen (cool) saying he couldn't be sure what the issue was. He also said they do not have replacement woofers (interesting) but I can send the defective ... | |
| Has anyone noticed a slow down in sales? Everything slows down this time of year. In my former life years ago I was a carpet installer. January into Feb. was by far the slowest time of year. Nothing new. I think the pricing on used gear is off base for the most part. The local Cra... | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps @soix Thanks. Like I said, fingers crossed | |
| Looking for a good small subwoofer... Love my REL t9x. IMO can't go wrong with REL. But, recently listened to a Kef kc62 and was very impressed. Goes down low with no muddiness and is tiny! Thinking of one for my living room. Not cheap though. | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps @soix I have a 90's .5 that I picked up a few years ago. One of 3 amps in my rotation. Thankfully, still working great as of a few months ago until I switched it out for my Hegel. Probably put it back in the system soon to give it a run - fing... | |
| Musical Surroundings Phonomena II+ -OR- Moon 110lp v2 -OR- Parasound ZPhono XRM Phono @grislybutter Best of luck! Vinyl takes some work with many variables to consider. But, I've heard it sound fantastic even on my modest system. | |
| Musical Surroundings Phonomena II+ -OR- Moon 110lp v2 -OR- Parasound ZPhono XRM Phono @grislybutter I am a relative newb to vinyl and still learning about load, gain, different carts, etc. But I don't think there is much more you can do except put the gain on the lowest setting and play around with the loading. I bought the PH ... | |
| Musical Surroundings Phonomena II+ -OR- Moon 110lp v2 -OR- Parasound ZPhono XRM Phono @grislybutter I just picked up the same Phonomena ll+ used from a local guy. Definitely check the settings and make sure the gain is at it's lowest setting - all dip switches down I believe. I have a Rega p6 with Exact 2 cart with similar high o... | |
| The problem with absorption panels- it kills the fine details Geez, never expected to see the word 'horrifying' so much in an audiophile thread. Now I'm a little horrified to listen to my system! | |
| Recommendations for good sounding streamer My first foray into a separate streamer was the new Bluesound n130. Definitely a step up from my Macbook air. Super easy setup and works great with my iphone. Then, recently purchased a used Ares 2 dac. I was surprised at the huge step up it wa... | |
| What now? Seems like you understand it's not an ideal situation - that's good. You mentioned Vienna Acoustics Bach. I love my Bach Grands, listening to them right now. Warm ish presentation with silky smooth tweeter and great mids. Beautiful rosewood fi... | |
| Eeny, meeny, miny, moe... Catch that often elusive something by the toe. Right now it's Hegel h360 int. with LRS or VA Bach Grands. Nice combo but will be switching out soon for my Rogue Atlas magnum tube amp and Perseus tube pre. Or maybe my DNA .5 and the Perseus? Or... | |
| Magnepan LRS in the house! @hartf36 Thanks for that |
