| Droplet Cd player - tweaks, mods or upgrades? Consider resale value. I personally will not buy modified stereo equipment. I even want the original power cord. | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? Clavil, How do you know when you have a speaker controlled "perfectly"? The truth is you may never hear the true potential of a speaker like the Apogee. Because this is a hard speaker to drive there is no amplifier happy with the Apogee load there... | |
| Speaker cables for Vandersteen 3A Signature? Richard Vandersteen doesn't talk about wire much these days, at least expensive wire. I can tell you he was big on Audioquest wire and Audioquest used Vandersteen speakers. Install smaller spades or use bare wire. All spades have a sound character... | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? Matti, I am not partial to any brand of equipment. I am more interested in what components work well together. Probably the most popular amp used with Apogee speakers was the Counterpoint SA 220. | |
| Grover Huffman power cable Did you compare these to the stock power cord? I am curious how the various cords differ from the original. | |
| Would adding another REL STRATA Help? Rockadanny is right. Two subs are always better than one. | |
| Explanation of what higher costs buy with Grado Typically the higher models are the cartidges that measure the best. In otherwords, the cartidges are made then tested. The cartridges that measure good are the expensive models and the cartridges that don't measure good become the cheap models. T... | |
| About speaker cables.. The Quicksilver full function preamp is a good candidate for anyone that wants to run a long interconnect because of the preamp's low output impedance. The earlier Quicksilver preamp's output impedance was 12.5 ohms and the current model is only 1... | |
| Shorten those lengthy power cords? Hifitime, That makes two of us. | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? Matti, why do you find the Rowland recommendation confusing? Is it because the Rowland 5, which I recommended, will deliver 600wpc into a 2 ohm load and it might be too much power for the Stage? Honestly, Aragon is nothing more than a glorified mi... | |
| what's better than a milk crate? lol Currently on Audiogon: 1 Pair Atlantis 15 inch steel speaker stands, $45 obo. There is more than one opinion on speaker stands. Most audiophiles will tell you to raise the speakers so the tweeter is at ear level. By doing this you are moving the s... | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? Unsound, I don't think Loveitloud is going to get a recent Rowland class D amp that fits into his budget of under $2000. | |
| Need advice on next step Any CJ preamp would be the natural match. You just missed 3 reasonably priced CJ preamps here on Audiogon. A Sonographe SC-1 for $260. This is probably the preamp sold with your amp. A PV-6 for $300 and a PV-11 for $750. By sticking with the same ... | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? Class D would be fine for your second system Clavil, but there is no class D amplifier in the same league as the Rowland. Besides, the Rowland 5 and the Stages are the same vintage. Apogee and Rowland sound wonderful together. A lot has changed. D... | |
| what's better than a milk crate? lol Hello tiger, I need a little more info about your speakers like how many drivers, the size of the drivers and their configuration ie: is this a 2 way? Where is the tweeter located? And so on. |
