| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? I need to add this. The VMPS speakers since the advent of the ribbon mids, have captured my heart and ears. Their clarity, transparency, good bass, and very good dynamics make for a moving session. The Vapor build quality of the cabinets is so adv... | |
| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? I now have the pair of speakers I will never get rid of as long as they keep working. My high end journey past cheaper college systems with speakers that weren't too hot began with Allison Ones about 1978. Had those until changing briefly to Par... | |
| Looking for suggestions on best small footprint speaker under $4K MA,For looks and sound, the Salk Song 3 or 3A would be excellent--the difference would depend on you sound priorities. Heard the 3's and were very impressed. You could get ones made to your own desires for looks and a little for sound--brand new... | |
| Looking for suggestions on best small footprint speaker under $4K miamiangler,I just heard the ATC SCM V2 speakers at a store. I didn’t hear the best amps with them and they were still very impressive. They list at $7000, but there is a very nice pair of satin black finished cabinets on right now right at your b... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat Hey Jeff,Label up. Magic Mounts are double sided adhesive very thin pads, about 1 mm thick. Hold very well, but can be removed if you start at a corner and peel them off.If you have any questions, call Tim. He loves to talk about this stuff wit... | |

| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat Man, you all should try the Schroeder Method (from Doug Schroeder--reviewer for Dagogo) of double ICs to each component vs. buying a doubly expensive IC from the same manufacturer. Of course you need 4 sets of Audioquest splitters to do this. Th... | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? I will say, the Trans-Fi Terminator arm is VERY reliable and does not have concerns regarding the air supply. I have one and never had any issues because of the type of pump used. It does sound extraordinarily good for the money and stays the wa... | |
| Power conditioner and high end power cord I would imagine it depends on the incoming power in your area and the power supplies of your equipment. The power supply in my TRL DUDE is about as heavy duty as any amp, yet the sound improved very noticeably when I added a Core Power Tech Equi=... | |
| Power conditioner and high end power cord gb,The amps plugging into the 1800 may lessen some of the dynamics from the sound. If this happens, try plugging those into an outlet rather than the 1800. I've never liked the amp sound with a power conditioner because of that. I do have 2 Cor... | |
| Speaker Cable Advice Look at Acoustic BBQ duelund cables made by Bill Dion--grannyring on Audiogon. He has ads on Agon continuously and is a serious DIY guy with credentials. He's taken many excellent speakers and modded them to be like 25-50% better sounding. He's... | |
| Budget hi-fi and vintage audio gear Go on VMPS speakers--Audio Circle. Look at the latest few pages of speakers. If you can find a pair of VMPS 626R monitors, they are the first excellent speaker I heard when I got back into the buying scene. also the VMPS RM-2 has great sound. ... | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? I will chime in with the problem with straight line tracking air bearing arms is definitely the pump and all parts of the air supply leading to the TT. I had a Maplenoll Ariadne air bearing TT/arm combo for 12 years that was absolutely the best s... |
