| Quatro Wood best feet Guys, granite usually comes in 1.5" slabs. Get a set of 3" and put 4 more washers on the rear spike and see how that works out. Go to any place that sells/makes granite counter tops. Shouldn't cost more than $300 for the pair. I went 1/2" board... | |
| Paradigm Persona series BTW, I've heard many Rockports in many systems and rooms and never not liked them. Some of my fav's are Vandy 7 mk2, Rockports and Tidal's. Also enjoyed Magico's for the first time. M3 I think they were. You have lot's of great choices out the... | |
| Paradigm Persona series Maple,your post was actually kind of mean, but whatever. Not bashing, just sharing my thoughts. I've always told folks to go listen. Especially at this level. Many like that sound and they are selling well I"m sure. I'm happy for Paradigm. I ha... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Vernon, let's talk, lol.... I have the digital pre built in as well as an analog. I haven't used either yet as I have Vandersteen's and can't use a pre yet...also having an integrated won't allow that either, lol. If I had an external crossover... | |
| Quatro Wood best feet Great idea Tomic, thanks so much. Granite does not make Vandersteen speakers sound brighter. Better bass, sound staging and more focused. So excited to get them in after talking to Richard and friends about them. :) | |
| Quatro Wood setup help I have a pair of Thunder cables on order. RV may have changed his feelings on that. Not sure, but I'll ask. Garth's new AQ cords need a special Furetch plug on the amp side as the other one is too big and won't fit. lol. Won't change the sound a... | |
| Considering purchasing different speakers Jeff's right for the most part. Depending on your price range, some of the top DAC's rival the best vinyl IRT sound staging. My new Laufer Technique DAC ( www.thememoryplayer.net ) is still in prototype but so far it crushes the DCS Scarletti wit... | |
| Quatro Wood setup help Have the Quatro CT's myself and love them. Tomic is great at set ups...;). Let us know how it goes. | |
| Headphones that sound smooth and comfortable on a pillow? Guys, Many folks neither want an IEM/bud, or they don't fit their ears. I have CIEM"s (Empire Ear Phantom's). I also own and will be selling (don't use can's anymore) my ZMF Ori's. I love the CIEM's and dont' need more. Some just want a can to ... | |
| Considering purchasing different speakers At these prices, why don't you just go audition the two and choose the one you love. We all hear differently etc.... If you can't audition, I'd stay with what I had until I could hear something better. JMHO | |
| Quatro Wood best feet You should also go to Vandersteen's website and do the 'ask Richard' pull down. That's the best place to start since he designed them and knows the answer I promise. | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K That's a nice pairing for sure. Hope you really enjoy them | |
| Amplifier for Harbeth 40.2 Any of the Audio Research amps are great. I heard the 40.2 anniversary pair with the top MSB amps and digital. All were run with Audioquest Dragon and Hurricane cords (best I’ve heard and I"ve heard Elrod and Enklein). Just the best I’ve ever hear... | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K Not sure where you are located to go audition. Your amps are rated around 50W, but have fairly high current based on what I remember of them. It's kind of like having a 90W SS amp. What size room did you say? How do you listen and to what type... | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) Depending on what folks like and are used to hearing or are told what to hear, there are tons of great value speakers. if you are going up to 15k, I went with Vandersteen Quatrro's.. I personally feel they are the sweet spot in his line. The car... |
