| Help me build speaker cables please! I'm not a serious DIYer, but I have a couple comments. I've read about several speaker cable manufacturers touting the benefits of multiple individually insulated strands of smaller gage wire. If I recall correctly in the 22-24 gage range. This i... | |
| What's the best non-DAC CD player? The PS Audio DirectStream Memory Player (DMP) is a very nice player, though it plays best wth a PS Audio DAC since it permits I2S connection and DAC decoding of SACD. | |
| Axpona Shout Outs To each his own on the sound, though I will say I intentionally stayed away from the MBL room since the three or four times I have heard them in the past it was painfully loud. Rock concert level is NOT my thing, note my comments on the two live ... | |
| Axpona Shout Outs Bgoeller, which room was Austin Acoustics in? I don't recall seeing that name and a quick search of the program doesn't show it. I was impressed on an overall sense with the TIDAL Speakers room, very nice sound. On a budget sense the Hsu monito... | |
| AXPONA 2017 Protocol Most vendors will allow you to play your own music, some will even encourage it. I suggest you talk to to one of the people working the room when you first come in to see if they are amenable to this. Saturday will be the busiest day, so you may ... | |
| Fake Goertz Cable ??? The white color may be a result of the lighting and the sheathing on the wire. The embossed markings on the wire itself look authentic. These must be a newer set than mine since mine do not have the name and model on the heat shrink (hope mine a... | |
| This is My Music on CBC FM, Saturday mornings I really enjoy listening to CBC Radio 2. Have it on all day for background music, but I have not been real impressed by the sound quality over my stereo. I'm just across the border from Windsor so I can listen over the air, but wish I could list... | |
| Anyone know anything about any of this equipment? LINN, AYRE, TICE, ETC. You have some nice equipment which defintiely has resale value. Since you are considering working with a dealer you probably should educate yourself on value. A look through Audiogon classifieds or eBay could help, but the Audiogon Bluebook woul... | |
| Vandersteen tilt question My understanding of the procedure was the measurements are from the "acoustic center" of the speaker. I've had 2Ci, 3A Signature and now 5's, as I recall for the 2 & 3 series the "acoustic center" is in the middle of the top plate. For the 5... | |
| Anybody have the new PSAudio DirectStream Memory Player? I have one of the beta units and it is a real nice player. Makes CDs sound better and SACD sound superb. Best used with either the DirectStream Senior or Junior to get the best from SACD. It was billed as a universal player but users discovered... | |
| Phoenix Engineering Falcon and Eagle There is also a thread on the VPI forum under the "General Audio" section. It was stated there that HiFi Heaven purchased remaining stock and is selling it, albeit at an inflated price. | |
| Help, My Vandies Sizzle Lots of good equipment suggestions, so I won't add to the list. To make a bit of a leap (since you make no mention of bass issues) is given these speakers are about 35 years old it would be a good idea to check the foam surrounds to see if there... | |
| Room treatment-I was afraid of this Wideload, can you give a little more detail on the size of your new room and what you did with furniture and such? I'm in a similar situation, have a small dedicated room, but haven't gone so far as to purchase dedicated bass traps and such. I t... | |
| Seller asked for PayPal fees after the sale. Should I pay them or not? It's the SELLERS responsibility to list all fees upfront. Since you have already paid half the fee I would leave it at that, if the seller refuses then I would contact Audiogon. | |
| Positioning Vandersteens Ok, now it makes more sense. If you are hearing better low end you are probably experiencing a "valley" in the response at your normal position and probably a close to flat response in the upright position. I would suggest getting a test CD with... |
