    The Aurora's are coming.

    Just checked out the website for the Wellfloats. Pretty sophisticated technology. I wonder how these compare to the Centerstage footers?

    The Aurora's are coming.

    Serious stuff..Have you compared them to some of the other ultra high end cables? I think you used to be in the Tchernov/Hijiri clan there for a while. I am currently evaluating the Tchernov Reference DSC SC speaker cables.

    The Aurora's are coming.

    Are you changing out your cabling as well? If so, what are you thinking?

    Wolf von Langa (WVL) Chicago Speakers - Dream Speakers

    They do have a bit of a translation issue as well...not the most intelligible descriptions.

    Wolf von Langa (WVL) Chicago Speakers - Dream Speakers

    Just upgraded my SONS to the new WVL ULTIMA! They are SONS on steroids! Much more articulate nuanced. The ULTIMA uses an upgraded cabinet with the same dimensions as the SON with upgraded crossover components including Dueland capacitors and a much upgraded PSU. The field coil utilizes a...

    Footers for VSA Endeavor E-3 Mk IIs?

    Couple of questions regarding the LS footers: I will likely be moving my speakers to a space with carpet and heavy padding over a concrete slab. Would I need to place some sort of base on the squishy carpeting for the footers to rest on that is more solid, or can they rest directly on the...

    Footers for VSA Endeavor E-3 Mk IIs?

    I just found your reviews, Joe, and the VSA video on the LS systems. Thanks for your help.

    Footers for VSA Endeavor E-3 Mk IIs?

    Do you have them on the outriggers? Apparently there are adapters to fit the threaded mounts for the spikes?

    Footers for VSA Endeavor E-3 Mk IIs?

    They are quite pricey. Are they available in the US to your knowledge?

    Footers for VSA Endeavor E-3 Mk IIs?

    I am considering adding footers to the outriggers on my E-3 Mk IIs. I am currently using factory spikes on carpet with a wood sub-floor but I am considering relocating the speakers to a larger space which will have carpeting and padding over a concrete floor. Would the concrete subfloor offer...

    MB Performance Series and Audiodharma Cable Cooker

    Just a follow-up on my issue. I sent the cables back to VSA and are now cookable! Now sure what the issue was but we are in business now. Thanks, Damon!

    MB Performance Series and Audiodharma Cable Cooker

    I am having an issue with my new MB Performace Series speaker cables not being able to be conditioned on my Audiodharma Anniversary Edition Premium Cable Cooker. The green light which indicates that the frequency sweep is active does not come on at all. The green light works with...

    Frustration with Lack of Objective Advice/Information

    Thanks, Peter. I did find a pair of VTL Siegfried IIs on the used market for $27k but I would have to add a pre-amp, which I'm sure would be another $10k. I would feel more comfortable getting to know the speakers and absorbing more knowledge from people like you before going for an end-game move.

    Frustration with Lack of Objective Advice/Information

    Thanks, Ron. I am a bit goosy about buying a used end-game amp, so I think I may go with an interim solution until I learn more about the speakers and what are the options in the amplifier market. Maybe the Rogue Apollos since Bob Grossman has had a good experience with them? They would be...

    Frustration with Lack of Objective Advice/Information

    Thanks, Ron. I did post a question regarding 20.7s and Rogue Apollos the other day, and unfortunately I did not receive any responses. I posted it in the Magnepan Forum. I have read Don Salzman's review of the 20.7 and I spoke to Bob Grossman of Enjoy the Music who also reviewed the 20.7 and...

    Frustration with Lack of Objective Advice/Information

    PeterA, Thank you so much for your thoughtful response and attachment. I very much appreciate it. I will give you a bit of information on my background, and what precipitated my post: I was raised around music like most of us here. My dad loved music and loved his McIntosh equipment. I...

    Frustration with Lack of Objective Advice/Information

    Thanks for your response. One of the things that concerns me about buying used is my perception that once a piece of equipment has had more than two owners, that there is a diminished ability to re-sell after that. I only say that because I would be wary of buying anything that has had more...

    Frustration with Lack of Objective Advice/Information

    Thanks so much for the reply. You are right...the sales bias has not changed. I guess it will take time to discern the opinions which you can trust on the forum. I wonder if there is a way of searching for a particular piece of equipment that a member might have for feedback and advice...

    Frustration with Lack of Objective Advice/Information

    Maybe this a naïve post, but I'm really tired of not being able to get objective information on audio recommendations. Dealers want to sell you stuff they sell, "consultants" want to sell you stuff, many of the forum posters are ingenuine or trolls. Is it possible to get genuine, non-biased...
