| Most overrated audio manufacturers? This type of thread only invites "cheap shots" by those with various motives and experiences we are not fully aware. Thus, those who indulge this type of pseudoinformation may diss some very credible manufacturers.Quicksilver? Really? Mike Sanders... | |
| Active vs Passive Pre amps Stick with an ARC preamp. The amp is voiced that way and there is good synergy. | |
| Can a garage serve as listening room? I am in the process of converting mine to a dual AV.. 2 channel room. I will keep you posted....PT | |
| Amp for Vandersteens 2ce sig 2's Quicksilver Silver 88 or the older Silver 90 (mono) are magical on this speaker. Holographic, extension at the top and bottom. Great synergy. | |
| Just Pulled The Trigger The GR are great cables, more forgiving than NR, but unfailing musical. | |

| Power Cable choices I agree with your "leaning" and keep the flavors similar. Mixing cords can make things more complicated to decipher as to what is contributing/subtracting to the music. | |
| Does the VPI Aries1 best the VPI Classic1? I had the Linn LP12, went to VP I MkII, III, IV, Aries, Scoutmaster Signature, back to Aries and will stay there. The Aries just does so much right, and isolates rumble better than the Acrylic platter tables. A real Classic.....mine will not be so... | |
| Tube Amp Recommendations $1500 Quicksilver Silver 90 Monos are still fantastic sounding amps, competing with those many thousands more. At 90wpc, they have great bass control. | |
| Speaker hum problem - need help Try another amp/preamp in your house. It may have really crappy AC outlets with wires just plugged in and old ones can make intermittent contact. Wiggle the plug in the wall and see if the hum changes. Usually a hum equals a ground loop. This is a... |
