I put the box outside in the sun and sprayed it with fabreze along with the white gloves, and manual. (I asume the gloves are for tube handling? )

I picked up the audiogon sampler wake up your ears from HD tracks but I didn't get to listen to it till this am. For $4.95 for high rez, I think it was worth it! The music selection is good! ...

The sound on the dac2 is good. With cd, well, how can I put it......... this might sound strange but here it goes. Running a elite pd 9 as the transport with the dac2 on redbook sounds fantastic...

I do have a decent penga usb cable that did sound better then the original. Looks like w4s also has one. I will look into the stello. I dont mind the price as long as its a 600 $ sounding...

I have a w4s dac2 using flac on jriver. I have been reading about USB to spdif converters. Would I benefit from one? Any issues with DSD with this since I am planning on upgrading my dac2. Will I...

Preamp tuner correct?

Since you described some as too mellow, I am with tonyb on this one. Newrival has Emerald Physics and they do sound good. Can you describe your room? When I had carver amazing originals, in my...

JuanR, nice pickup. It will mate nicely with what you have unless you got a new TT.

I am going to say the price is a bit high but, what cartridge was on it?

When I had vandies I ran them off a adcom 555. At the time I had the adcom and a mcintosh 2105 and on the vandies the adcom 555 sounded like a better matchup.

The McIntosh was better on my...

And with that note, I am going to need years of therapy getting the picture of Phyllis Diller naked out of my head. Noshinjohn, the bill is in the mail for that one!

Requires a 20 amp line! Looks hefty!

The room plays a big part on them for sure. In my den they sounded way to hot in the high end. My living room on a pioneer sc27 they sound great!

Now that's funny!

All good ideas. I will try the coffe / dryer sheets in a bag with the cd player top off. I went to the store and got some sheets.

Vandies are a good speaker. Nice pickup

As it burns in, it will sound even better!
