| Calling all Aesthetix Callisto / Io Owners >"4: On the Callisto, when I move the "Right Level" control, there is a slight crackle/static sound from full attenuation to the first step and then again in the next 2-3 steps. From then on the noise is gone. I have swapped tubes between the L... | |
| Paul Speltz speaker cables "How long a burn in do the anti-cables need?"since it is using air as a dielectric, not long at all...a few hours maybe...i found them to sound pretty darn good right out of the bag. | |

| Reimyo CDP 777 pardales,i heard the reimyo cdp-777 and esoteric dv-50s in the same system on different occasions. having owned the esoteric dv-50, i'm quite familiar with its capabilities. i've found the esoteric to be quite good, but have heard a few digital fr... | |
| Thiel CS6 to Von Schweikert VR4 JR - Am i Crazy? the big thiels are notorious for being difficult loads to drive, but the McCormack amp you've got should have no trouble driving them. are you toeing the speakers in? is your listening position on the back wall? how big is your room? | |
| Thiel CS6 to Von Schweikert VR4 JR - Am i Crazy? i agree w/ the others. mod or try another source first before dumping the speakers. stock elite players aren't known for excellent audio quality. | |

| Vandersteen 3A Sig vs. Von Schweikert VR4 Jr. Warnerwh,while there's nothing wrong with recommending another speaker, i believe it is important for you that you disclose you are VMPS dealer. also, the thread originator was SPECIFICALLY asking about the Vandy 3A Sig and VSA VR4Jr because he ha... | |

| Anyone Heard the McCormack UDP-1? for the $ the McCormack UDP-1 is really quite special. for redbook and dvd-a, it is simply incredible. i was able to a/b the UDP-1 with a number of dedicated DACs as well as the Esoteric DV-50. i don't have enough software on SACD to be able to pr... | |
| Anyone hear the Von Schweikert DB-99? i believe they used an Oracle CD player in that room...i know Albert mentioned that he still wasn't pleased with the sound at the end, but it was the best they could do given the limitations of the room. | |
| Anyone hear the Von Schweikert DB-99? "I can't really put my finger on any one area where I felt the VR SRs were seriously lacking..."Drseid,which day did you stop in to listen to the 4 Sr? my understanding is that it took a few days of trial and error to get the speakers to sound rig... | |
