| How Does the Vandersteen 2W Work? Shersta,To reiterate everyone else, you will not be able to hook up the 2W the way you mentioned. It has high-level inputs only. If you want to use line-level, you would need to go with a V2W. 2W and 2WQ are made for listening to music in a stereo... | |
| MMG or Vandersteen I A-B'd the MMGs and 2Cis in my living room about 9 months ago and, while they both sounded nice, I don't think there was any question which had more detail and realism. The MMGs are, as previously mentioned, an inexpensive way to get into their p... | |
| Import Duties for Hong Kong I purchased an amp from HK a few years ago at a price of $1400. I don't remember the exact amount, but it was under $40 - This included a $5 fee for the shipper (DHL) for paying the duty upfront. I'm sure there is some government website that you ... | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers A good rule of thumb would be 10 to 15 percent of your net worth. At least. Maybe more. | |
| Best speakers, used, for around $1,000. I'd have to second the Vandersteen suggestion. They represent a great value in the used market, as long as you don't mind the look. They don't look bad at all, but just aren't a beautiful piece of wood cabinetry, which is desirable for some. The s... | |

| Help Amp Output 4 Not working Pop the lid and look for a blown fuse. If you somehow touched the cable ends together you can blow a rail fuse, the little glass ones that look like tubes with metal caps. Then you can go to Radio Shack and pick up some new ones and be back in bus... | |

| uses for tube preamp like BAT I use my tube preamp to enable my TV to play through my system and have not encountered any any more wear and tear than if I were listening to music. If you're referring to the tubes themselves, then yes, they do have a certain lifetime before the... | |
| Cary SLP98 vs. Rogue 99 Magnum I've got a Cary SLP-30 paired with a 4B-ST and I love the way it sounds. I may change to something else to experiment, but am happy with the way this sounds, especially for a "entry level" tube preamp. | |
| What good FM stations-jazz/alternative in Detroit NO - Unfortunately, there is no other station in Detroit for Jazz, or Classical. It's DET or CD. These types of music are not really commercially viable anymore. The other station that claims to play "Smooth Jazz" has just continued to widen it's ... | |
| Does Bryston SP-1 have 6 analog inputs ? You should contact Bryston, either by email or phone. I have done that recently, and they were real good about getting back to me right away. Besides, they designed the stuff... | |
| Anyone listen to the NPR jazz series cd's? Tireguy- You may want to try listening to WDET from Detroit online at http:www.wdetfm.org. They have a great jazz program M-F 7 to 10 p.m. (EST). I garauntee that no matter how much you know about jazz, you will learn something, or be exposed to a... | |
| Non-Buying Buyers-check's in the mail? Yeah Right Why not list in your email "agreement to purchase" some rules which you expect both of you to abide by? Payment must be recieved by xxx, or postmarked by xxx, etc.? This is basically what people do on eBay in the text of their auction. Then, if th... | |
| The Canadians that visit the site Is it possible to buy audio equipment made in Canada for much less than here in the States? Specifically, I see Bryston 4B-ST's available on the web for about $1800 U.S. I've yet to find a website in Canada that lists the prices at all. I'll be sk... |
