| Old Vandersteen model 2 vs. newer model 2 I've never been a 'sweet spot' lover. I want a speaker that provides good depth and imaging over a wide field. All the Vandy's I've owned have provided the aforementioned traits (also owned the 3a sigs). Having an unbalance listening room will re... | |
| Old Vandersteen model 2 vs. newer model 2 The VLR's are meant to be placed near corners, and whether in a bookshelf or on stands, they can match the 2's, esp with a Vandy sub (or 2). I have mine mounted near the ceiling at the corners of the room-Unusual for many, but the only way I can ... | |

| Just installed a bluesound node 2i , quality not so good @emergingsoul - Like listening to music filtered by a blanket. Node 2i needs a better dac. So disastifying. Avr’s with bluos handle music better. Waste of money for me. You have a $500 streamer/Dac. If you want something better, spend $3K ... | |
| Decline or accept upon receipt of damaged gear As a seller, I would always accept a return if the box or package had significant damage. Bob | |
| Power Conditioning - How Important for Digital and Analog Source Components vs Amp? My 2 cents- Amps and high current devices should be plugged directly into the wall. The rest should go into a good conditioner, like the AQ 1200. And, if you are concerned about power surges, put a whole house surge protector by the mains. Bob | |

| Any feedback on Sam Laufer’s Memory Player? Sam has been undergoing a major redevelopment of the company. I am to be getting the newest Memory Player in a few days. I'll let you know what I think. Bob | |
| Surprised by streamer differences Aurilac offers a great product for the price. One of my friends believes the integrated Streamer/DAC they offer is one of the best performing for $3K. I am currently using Innous and really like it. B | |

| whole house surge protector @erik_squires , +1, The whole house surge protector does nothing until it senses a power surge. When it trips, it will sacrifice itself, and in turn protect your equipment downstream. Adding additional surge protection near sensitive equipment ... | |
| Buying used vs new speakers from a technology perspective Vandersteen updates it's speaker components as new tech becomes available. Most of the time, it doesn't mean a series upgrade, but just an evolution in design. So, I say 'yes' to the belief that tech has improved with time. Bob | |
