thank you, like yours too.
anytime. PM me and we can share phone numbers. not a competition on systems or skating.
But I'll bet I'm the better roller skater.
dCS Varese short review
- Thread starter craigr
- Start date
I knock wood, but in nine years always powered-on my dCS Vivaldi only stayed away when they left for two weeks to get the Apex upgrade.
The fact that the people at dCS come from military aeronautics weighted my decision to get it.
Probably your distributor technician could easily diagnose the faulty box. When buyers pay such high prices they deserve special service!
Ok, we should respect your experience.
In fact you are now addressing digital electronics and solid state analog electronics - nothing to do with power tube tube gear.
People at dCS have long experience with remote upgrades - my upsampler got upgrades from time to time and I do not notice it. Mobile phones and computers do it regularly.
Electromechanical meters are really nice but have always been a source of problems.
Electronics failure rate depends essentially on design and built quality. Surely if living in a desert remote island I would prefer owning two Vivaldi's to a singe dCS Varese!
I can easily understand and accept your point - Nagra people in this forum do the same. There is some reassurance and added value when owning all equipment from the same brand.
Mike, I would love to PM you and share phone numbers. Where is the PM on WBF? I'm sure I am looking right at it. I will be admiring your system in detail. It will take more than a few hours. Well, there's little comparison in mine than yours. That's the thing I like best about WBF. It's the ultimate for amazing systems. I am extremely happy for you and i want to learn about every one of your components and gear, especially your speakers. But Ill be sending you my email and cell asap.thank you, like yours too.

Microstrip, you are a great guy. Everything you say is reasonable. I only put out this criticism of dCS to get a rebuttal of it. It really sounds like dCS is quite reliable based on the comments I have received, and I have made ML's acquaintance. What a system he has! You never know who you are going to meet on WBF.
Charles,
1-look to the upper right side of the page. see the picture of the envelope next to your name. click on that.
2-a drop down opens, select 'open conversation' at the bottom of the drop-down.
3-go to the 'to' box and start typing my name.
4-need title and fill in the message and hit send.
Got it and I had already found it. I am examining your system. I will be sending you my private information soon. And thank you for your interest. I see already that you are a Wadax aficionado. I'm a roller skater at heart. I like it loud and somewhat raunchy. My room can take a lot of sound. I have pool parties where folks do skating exhibitions on my pool deck and in my skating rink behind my sofa where my system is. But I use a cheap Sonos (1000 dollars) for music. I don't use my system except to demonstrate it at the parties. Music is in my bones. I skate with men and women of all races and ages, many with beautiful bodies/figures, and they can skate. I skate with many of them. The music is loud like a disco and there is always a DJ. The sound systems are extremely expensive and powerful, but mine will play as loud and of course is of significantly higher quality. I put my body on the line every time I skate. It's a very dangerous sport, but I'm one of the best skaters in America and I love it.
That is incredible misleading and non factual. This is ONLY a part of setting up a pair of speakers and these settings must be changed every single time you move the speaker along with absolute leveling of the bottom cabinet, Just for starters. It is not easy , it may be easy to read the instruction manual however
Lee was was just addressing the "a lot of variables for you to futz " after speaker placement. Surely if one is unable to read charts and locate number in spikes it is hard job - the XVX had eight charts, you have to do it methodically - about an hour work for two people.
Wilson speakers are not harder to set than many others and some people do not do it using to the rigorous WASP method. I found the ESL63 are even more critical than Wilson's, but once you find the proper place the room also moves away. Poorly placed they sound really miserable.
BTW, proper use of measuring tools can't find the best listening position, but can speed a lot understanding the room. Just IMO, YMMV.
Hi Stereophonic, can you please share the number of wadax units sold? an estimate is fine.
or are you just shooting the breeze?
I am glad you like the wilson sound. I have different tastes and preferences - for me, they all sound the same: analytical and hifi, regardless of setup or complementary equipment.
they seem to be releasing new models faster than Moore's law; if Dell could only release their new models that fast...
If I never heard another wilson (or magico) for the rest of my life, I wouldn't miss it. I am in the majority with most of the world, outside of audiophilia, of course.
But I am glad triggers your imagination and brings you pleasure!

Sorry but I totally disagree and the proper position in the room is the whole point. That doesn't happen by reading a chart. Whether they are harder or easier is conjecture however those that I know and do it for a living would absolutely disagree with your opinion.
My friend Elliott, what has your comment to do with the Varese? You are an industry expert, not a novice so I suppose you take license because of your highly respected position to go totally off topic. If you desire to discuss Wilson speakers, please begin a thread. Otherwise, it is clear that you are taking advantage of a very interesting thread on an amazing piece of gear, the Varese, to promote your beliefs concerning Wilson speakers.

with all due respect Sir you don't get to tell others what they can and can't say. On another subject I did not bring up Wilson speakers in fact it might have been you along with other subjects.
What does your obsession with roller skating, your constant need to tell everyone how good you are at it, how excellent your system sounds and how much money you spend on your system have to do with the Varese? Modesty really is a "good thing". Something to consider.
I'm going to take a cold shower.
