| Schiit Yggdrasil or Simaudio Supernova You should contact Schiit directly for the most accurate information. | |
| Zu and totem, other speakers to consider? First, I would contact Zu to see if they can update your Druids, it may be more cost effective. I usually deal with Gerrit. He is very accessible and may have some opinions regarding the Totem's vs. the Druid with upgrades.I own the Union's, and a... | |
| Schiit Byfrost Multibit dac with cd transport I am using the Schiit Bifrost Multibit DAC, but not with a transport, but for converting streaming USB music. For this configuration, I can say it really sounds 'cleaner' than my Rega Apollo or McCormack CD transport. I haven't gotten time to conn... | |
| Speaker cable lengths doe it matter they are not equal??? You are correct regarding impedance differences with length.I, too, have to run long lengths of speaker cable, though it is mostly for aesthetic reason...In my opinion, I would run two identical lengths of cables. Though it costs more, it will giv... | |
| Subwoofers Nice post, Montaldo. I agree with your perceptions.Vandersteen subs, coupled with the m5-hp crossovers, make for a seamless integration. | |
| Vandy 3A and "Signature" Johnny R is a Agon member(audioconnection), so he would be easy to contact. Mr. V. is available, but he can be a bit brusque, so have your questions prepared in advance.A quick Google pulled up this review:http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/vander... | |
| Which Deoxit...? Deoxit D5 is probably what you are looking for.I would go to the Deoxit website for the most accurate information regarding their many products. | |
| Recommendations for IC and speaker cable Re: Yage.I agree earlier models of Transparent cables didn't go well with Vandersteen's, but I have to say the current line-up, is much more smoother.Zu is selling their earlier cables on Ebay, and they can be gotten for considerably less than the... | |
| Recommendations for IC and speaker cable I have a set of current model Transparent Plus cables for my speakers. Though some have felt they are not what I should use with my Vandy 3a sigs, I enjoy them and think they will serve you well, as far as the high frequency 'screech'. I have owne... | |
| Upgrade from Vandy 2w to 2wq. Thanks for the reply Johnny. Yet another task to perform...But, it does make sense, and I will do it when I can get some free time- Yes, I am a Gardener, so summer is when I make my 'bread and butter'.Is a Radio Shack Soundmeter okay, or should I... | |
| Why do you give bad advice? +1 for mitchchavis, what do you find 'bad' about our replies to the OP?What would you propose to be 'good advice'?And, why didn't you provide it? | |
| Internal Power Supply Technology Changes since 1999? Though I am not an expert, I think much has changed for the better since the turn of the century.I own a lot of McCormack equipment, and can attest that Steve McCormack constantly updates his updates as newer/better parts become available-sometime... | |
| Buying Without Audition Larstusor, that is a good way to start. I think having a speaker that you know and love, makes for an easier way to consider other loudspeakers that you do not have access to audition-when the SAS bites.All the Best- Bob | |
| Upgrade from Vandy 2w to 2wq. Thanks jokerman, I really don't want any more bass, just more accurate.Stringreen, I am looking at a pair of 5a's for sale. The seller is very accomodating (will meet me near my location). My only problem is whether they will fit in the space I ha... | |
| Upgrade from Vandy 2w to 2wq. Thanks sdcampbell,I already own the 2w's, but was considering the 2wq. that was for sale on Agon. It sold, but I am now considering upgrading to the Vandy 5's, instead. |
