| Have you ever tried a pair of speakers and said this Is the last thing I will ever need. "Have you ever tried a pair of speakers and said this Is the last thing I will ever need."Sure, lots of times. | |
| Have you ever tried a pair of speakers and said this Is the last thing I will ever need. Agree!! Stay curious. Whether it's your religious or political beliefs, technology, new music...whatever, remain open to new ideas and trying new things. I too have been in this hobby for decades and remain fascinated with new products, new tec... | |
| High End Amp Price Collapse musings A few years ago Audio Research released a number of Class D amps. I only listened to a couple of models very briefly so I don't have any personal experience but I recall they got pretty good reviews. It seemed that if an established and quality c... | |
| Best standalone music server? I am in a very similar situation as you. I have hundreds of CDs that I would like to begin transferring to a server and would like to access online streaming services at some point. My dealer has recommended the Bluesound Vault 2 as a simple one... | |
| Looking at a new non-SACD player, but still own lots of SACDs You might want to consider the Marantz SACD/CD players. They have 2 or 3 players within your budget. The SA11 being at the top end around $4000, the SA15 at around 2500 and the SA8005 at around 1200. | |
| Any Vandersteen 7 Owners in SFO Bay Area ? I am in the Dallas area. The dealer will be setting up my speakers for me. I have already mentioned to him my interest in new cables so maybe he can let me try out a few pairs. | |
| Any Vandersteen 7 Owners in SFO Bay Area ? Sounds great. Those are beautiful speakers. I ordered a pair in the Zebra wood and should have them in about 3 or 4 weeks. BTW, what speaker cables are you using? I'm debating whether or not to upgrade my speaker cables with my new speakers. ... | |
| Last CD player? I'm kinda in the same situation as the original poster (paleo12). I am in the process of putting together my "last" system. I have a 50 year involvement in audio systems resulting in a fairly extensive collection of LPs, CDs, and a relatively sm... | |
| How does high-pass filter requirement affect system decisions? Thanks for the information. The dealer is going to set them up but I want to learn the process myself. Is there a problem with the power cables that come with the Quatro? I am so tired of thick and inflexible chords and cables. I know this may be... | |
| Recommend a SS amp for my new Vandersteen Quatro CT Good advice. Thank you. One step at a time... | |
| How does high-pass filter requirement affect system decisions? Interesting discussion. I am awaiting delivery of a pair of Quatro CT and am beginning to evaluate my amplifier needs. In fact I started a separate thread asking for advice on amp/preamp options with the Quatro CT. I wish my Vandersteen dealer ... | |
| Recommend a SS amp for my new Vandersteen Quatro CT "get the best preamp you can afford"Interesting suggestion. I certainly agree that the preamp can impact the sound as much if not more than the power amp...and ideally each should compliment the other. My LS-15 was modified a few years ago by Gr... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters Bo, it's not like you invented fire. Those of us who are old enough to have been around high end audio for 40+ years have been aware of 3 dimensionality in the sound stage for ages. You just now discovered it. Good for you. But it is pretty de... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters Bo...I repeat from a previous post, is an audio zealot. He has found his flavor of audio truth and simply cannot accept that others have taken a different pathway to their audio truth. As Plutos mentioned in his post, "there is some truth to Bo'... | |
| Recommend a SS amp for my new Vandersteen Quatro CT I will send the 100.2 to ARC for a checkup. I figure whether I use the amp or end up selling it I would like to have ARC giving it a good bill of health. As much as I like that amp I will be surprised if wins out against the 4bsst2. I know ther... |
