| What separates should I use for my vandersteen 1c? The majority of the above recommendations with Vandersteen speakers would result in boring sound quality. However, you can't go wrong with Audio Research and Vandersteen speakers. You may also want to consider a Vandersteen subwoofer to take the l... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Mrtennis,"there are many ics and ac cords, so it is a bit presumptuous to make such a statement which includes the word "undeniable". obviously, it's your ears and your opinion."It's your ears and your opinion providing you have a clue. There is o... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Mrtennis, "one would expect that as a cable becomes less and less "colored", its performance would become more similar when placed in stereo systems."How does a cable become less and less colored?Maybe the stock power cord is the least colored sin... | |
| Using speaker cable as jumpers Why not just polish the copper jumpers you have now? The speakers were voiced with those jumpers and they are inserted at the crossover point. | |
| Would like a good integrated to power Vandersteens Lloyddelee21, Actually Vandersteen 2Ce Signatures don't need a lot of power and quite often lower powered amplifiers sound better. Any Audio Research amp/preamp combination no matter how low the power rating, combined with a Vandersteen subwoofer ... | |
| Would like a good integrated to power Vandersteens I can't believe nobody mentioned Audio Research. Audio Research is excellent with Vandersteens. I don't know what he uses now, but Richard Vandersteen regularly used Audio Research to show off his speakers at shows and that combination with a Vand... | |
| Rowlands It is interesting how brands fall in and out of popularity. For several years I stopped reading reviews and did my own thing. Now that I am back I find brands that were considered mediocre at best are well respected by the audiophile community. | |
| Can Redbook CD Be Saved Bifwynne, I have heard some models of Paradigm speakers can sound thin. Have you considered looking into a REL to compliment your main speakers? | |
| Can Redbook CD Be Saved Macdadtexas, I have proven time and again great sound can be achieved from both vinyl and CD, but you have to chose which will be your primary source. You are a classic example of someone who invests over $5,000 in vinyl playback and $1500 in a DA... | |
| Can Redbook CD Be Saved Bifwynne, Well you certainly have a good sounding CD player. I think you need to take another look at your system instead of considering another CD player. From your earlier comment it sounds like you are leaning towards bass heavy recordings whic... | |
| SUGGEST A TUBE AMP? Slapman44, What is Rio Grande R.R.? | |
| SUGGEST A TUBE AMP? Quicksilver 8417 monos can be had for under $1,000, but beware. 8417 output tubes were short lived and have been out of production for a long time. Another Quicksilver amp in the $1,000 range is the GLA (great little amp) 40 wpc. There is also a Q... | |
| Can Redbook CD Be Saved Want better sound from CD? Get a better CD player. | |
| Amps that can Rival A Levinson No. 332 around 3K? Jeffb28451, "I believe they are of an age where a recap/rebuild is due, if it hasn't already been done."Why, is Mark Levinson building their amps with old parts? | |
| Speaker with most dynamic PUNCH? Audiofeil, Yes, I think Marty's guitar amp had some PUNCH! |
