| Bang for Buck OP- dedicated room is a great start. Next is room treatments. Then a dedicated line. After that, any gear swap yields typically small but definitely noticeable changes, IMO | |
| Anticable Cables: what do you like about them thread? @drumsgreg - That's interesting! Thanks for the info about an option that might work for others too. Tom | |
| I went to THE show and didn't make any friends ... Thanks for the post, Erik. Having never been to a show since getting involved in this hobby in 1975 I appreciate and enjoy reading the opinions of others. To all the nay-sayers, we all hear differently. Unfortunately, too many think their opinion ... | |
| Anticable Cables: what do you like about them thread? @drumsgreg - Am I understanding you correctly that you bi-wired plus also used the jumpers? The jumpers should NOT be used if you are bi-wiring (one run of speaker cable to the treble terminal, another run of speaker cable to the bass terminal on... | |

As the owner of a Modi Multi I'm pleased to hear that. Brand new, with a warranty, cute-looking, no dings or scratches, ... | |
| Vincent Audio SV-500 Arriving Today Another happy camper with a Vincent SP-331 amp. Sounds very natural, organic and slightly warm paired with a Schiit Freya and Vandersteen 2Cs. I'll be VERY surprised if you don't love it.Tom | |

"Agree 100%, with this caveat- any speaker design, in a great sounding room. will ou... | |
| Anticable Cables: what do you like about them thread? Happy listening, my friend, no matter what cable you prefer! | |
| Anticable Cables: what do you like about them thread? @ebm - sorry, you're on the wrong thread. You should post on the Anticables-Scam? thread. This thread is for those of us who like the Anti's. LOL! JK, we all know is this weird hobby there's always lots of opinions :). | |
| Calling all Vandersteen Fans Soft copper spades might likely sound better than gold-plated... | |
| Calling all Vandersteen Fans Bi-wire, bi-wire, bi-wire. Not doing that will degrade SQ. | |
| Who are the Kings of Audiogon? @mapman - you are correct. Your title is safe. | |
| Who are the Kings of Audiogon? @ahofer- nice link, thanks! | |
