| Dissapointed with my new speakers I really think you have experience with two quite different speakers. If you were happy with the Klipschs and think you should have stayed in the companies line. I cannot imagine my ever being happy with B&Ws and everytime I hear the Klipschs,... | |
| Do all toroidal transformers hum? Yes, it is quite normal. If you cannot hear it unless you are that close, forget about it. On big amps with modern transformers toroidal or iron core, you get humm. Many manufacturers cover transformers to reduce audible hum or soft mount them to ... | |
| why is a 13" tonearm design really superior? Yep, I loved the entire table, and it sounded great. Too expensive, however. | |
| why is a 13" tonearm design really superior? Thuchan, there is another solution, namely a straight-line tracker. There are many issues with it also. I did see a pivoting straight-line tracker at CES, which used a second arm to keep the headshell and cartridge always tangential to the grooves... | |
| Is Phase and polarity the same thing? Wow, how frequently words fail us. Most test records use the word "phase" to deal only with whether both speakers share the same positive and negative connections throughout all that goes before them. Usually if you experience the signature discon... | |
| Buying Synergistic Research ICs so difficult Adhaney, sorry I just noticed this thread. I would have recommended that you carefully read the Synergistic Research web page on interconnects. I have found the information there and what I have heard talking with the Synergistic Research people c... | |
| why is a 13" tonearm design really superior? Tracking error is reduced with increasing length, but rigidity is reduced and weight increases. I use a 12" Shindo arm and love it. | |

| anyone know the lsa 2 speaker vs the vandy 2ce? Bryon84, I am really just saying that I have found several speakers that you should listen to whether that is easy or not. The LSA1 Statements, not Signatures, are the best monitor style speakers I have heard and are a great value, but the bass is... | |
| anyone know the lsa 2 speaker vs the vandy 2ce? It is rare for a speaker to get down to 20 Hz unless it is enormous in size. I used to have seven feet tall and 15" in diameter subwoofers with 2000 watts on them. They got down to 17 Hz. I never could integrate them with anything. I also only had... | |
| anyone know the lsa 2 speaker vs the vandy 2ce? Bryon84, I did not get your email. Frankly, you would have to get a very fast pair of subs, and this would put you out of your price range. The Vandersteens do not have much bass either, but perhaps down to 30 Hz, which is about what the LSA2s get... | |
| anyone know the lsa 2 speaker vs the vandy 2ce? Bryon84, I presently listen to the old version of the Acapella LaCompanellas which cost about $24k. I never mentioned them, of course. I also love the Reference 3A Grand Veenas which cost $8k. I am also shocked by the Sanders Sound electrostatic s... | |
| What is the affect of cd player? And thus my early post. | |
| Speaker Recommendations for Soundstage and Imaging Br3098, I have been out-of-town and have failed to respond. Yes, I have heard both Apogee planar or hybrid ribbon systems. I had the first model of the Apogee and have had several models of the Magnepans. I have had arrays of multiple drivers also... | |
| anyone know the lsa 2 speaker vs the vandy 2ce? Bryon84, I owned Vandersteens 2Cs long ago and was very impressed with them versus what was available then. I have followed Richard's evolution in speaker design over the years, including listening to the new designs at the last CES. I also have l... |
