    Quad VA One

    I’ve been listening to this for a few days in a bedroom system driving Ryan R610’s and I have to say I’m loving it so far. It’s been a while since I have listened to tubes, but the warmth and sense of space along with such a spooky rendering of voices is very appealing to me. I was a little...

    Some basic streaming questions

    I have been using Sonos for several years and have enjoyed it’s intuitive app. My primary source for Music is Tidal Hifi, with a smattering of Sirius, my own rips, and internet radio. What's bothering me is that Sonos doesn't allow me to take advantage of hi-rez. I was thinking about changing...

    Dahlquist DQ-28 $325 Syracuse, NY Craigslist

    One of the cabinets is a little beat up and it was difficult to judge them hooked up to a Pioneer HT receiver that was having problems of its own. Seller was pretty firm on price so I took a pass.

    Going to listen to them today. If in nice shape, any idea about a fair price? $250?

    Rega DAC Frequency indicator

    I just bought a used Rega DAC and was wondering why the frequency indicator shows 44.1k - 48k when I stream internet radio and Sirius XM through my Sonos via coax connection. I always thought that these formats streamed at much lower rates...

    New grills for Rectilinear III lowboys

    Your absolutely right, nude is the way to go because those grills seem to block the highs. Looking at them that way was my motivation for making the new grills.

    New grills for Rectilinear III lowboys

    I have owned the RIII's for some time and have come to realize a few things about them. I have tried every imaginable combination, high power, low power...mine sound best in a smaller room and not pushed too hard. My best experiences in this scenario have been with the H/K 430, Marantz 1070 and...

    New grills for Rectilinear III lowboys

    I did drill into them. I'm not worried about resale because I don't think I'll ever sell them. I'm sure you could do Velcro corner pieces.

    New grills for Rectilinear III lowboys

    The crossovers were recapped a few years ago and they sound terrific. Matched with the Marantz, it is my favorite system to listen to.

    New grills for Rectilinear III lowboys

    I was never happy with the lattice grills on my lowboys. So, I bought a kit from parts express and built new grills this weekend. Thought I would share this pic as the project was pretty simple. I really like the way they turned out. This kit would work best on large speakers.

    A nice pair...

    I've been away from the vintage game for a couple of years, but recently converted my upstairs office to a little music room, so I moved my Rectilinear lowboys up there and posted a wanted ad on CL for a integrated amp. I got a response from a fellow who wanted to buy a shotgun for hunting...
