| Devore Nines as an upgrade I have a pair of 8's, having upgraded from Vandersteen 2ce's. I find the DeVore speakers very musical. I listened to the 9 and Silverback at a dealer in the Boston area and the sound on both pairs of speakers were excellent, far exceeding anything... | |
| HELP SUGGESTIONS FOR A BETTER SOUND I seriously doubt that changing interconnects or speaker cables (been down that road) will make much of an improvement. At best, the differences will be more subtle than changing your speakers or amp. If there is a chance you can audition the newe... | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states I have wondered the same thing as I am looking to replace my 175wpc solid state amp with a tube amp in the 150wpc range. I have been told that tube amps sound a lot more powerful than solid state amps. Why, I don't know.Bob | |

| Speaker cables for Vandersteen 3A Signature? I have had excellent results with both Audioquest and MIT speaker cables for my Vandy 2CE speakers. Last summer, I had to replace one of the 8 inch woofers because the rubber surround got unglued from the woofer and when I opened the cabinet, all ... | |
| Old Question, any new responses? Logans and tubes Last year I bought a Yaquin amp. I had it all of a week and got rid of it. The build quality was junk. Sure, it had a thick face plate, but once you looked inside, the shortcuts were obvious. It didn't sound that great either. Just thought you sho... | |
| HRT Streamer+ I own the cheaper HRT Music Streamer. I coupled it with a 40.00 Kimber usb cable and a 50.00 MIT AVT interconnect. For 190.00 total cost, the sound is amazing. Granted, it isn't as good as my 2600.00 cd player, but using iTunes and files ripped in... | |
| Cheap Interconnects from Hong Kong A few years ago, I bought some Monster M1 audio cables off ebay which came from Hong Kong for 15.00 per cable. The local dealer was selling them discounted for 100.00. I bought 4 pairs and they looked like the real deal when I received them. They ... | |
| Why did I get married? I solved that problem by having 2 high end systems on 2 different floors of our house. While my living room system is my favorite, for those times when wifey wants to watch tv or read, I retreat to my man cave upstairs where I can listen to my sec... | |
| From Vandersteen 2CE to Devore Gibbons 8 or Focal How will I distort the sound of my speakers by adding the sub? The speakers aren't connected to the sub and I am running the sub below 60hz and have the sub volume only set a quarter way up. Also, kindly explain how I could blow my speakers? I hav... | |
| long term components Vandersteen 2ci speakers. Have had them for 20 years and they now reside in my office system. | |
| Depairately seeking 1980's Sovtek 6922's I am in the same boat as you. I tried the "new" Sovtek 6922's and they sound terrible to my ears. I have also tried the EH 6922 tubes and for now have settled on the JJ 6922 tubes. I am tempted to try the 6h23eb tubes but I have heard they can be ... | |
| purchasing a Scout/Scoutmaster: need input please I own a VPI Scout TT and had it with the Dynavector 20XL cartridge. The sound was truly very fast, detailed and magical. Unfortunately, the suspension collapsed on the cartridge (I bought it used) so I changed to a ZU/Denon DL 103 cartridge. While... | |
| From Vandersteen 2CE to Devore Gibbons 8 or Focal NEW UPDATE:I set up the Paradigm DSP-3100 subwoofer on Friday afternoon. After much tweaking I pretty much have the sound dialed in, but I may tweak just a bit more in the next week or so. I have the subwoofer cutoff frequency set at 60hz and the ... |
