My De-Compression ChamberSystem edited: Just got the Levinson. It was mis-represented by the seller on A-Gon and so I'll have to get back to you on how it sounds when I get it working. posted about 21 years ago | View comment | |

My De-Compression ChamberSystem edited: I've changed my front end significantly (at least as far as the equipment is concerned). The Levinson No.31.5 is being returned after a longer than expected loan. It's being replaced... posted over 21 years ago | View comment | |
My De-Compression ChamberWell, I checked and the Premium DACS have no Phantom Center level adjustment. It must be unique to the XDACs. posted over 21 years ago | View comment | |
My De-Compression ChamberTo my knowledge I cannot adjust the level of the phantom center with my unit. I'll have to go look. In any case, I did hear the center fill, but the sound sounded processed. I'll get back to you on... posted over 21 years ago | View comment | |
My De-Compression ChamberVCC-5 vs. VCC-1:I agree that the VCC5 is significantly better than the VCC-1. I have the VCC-1 upstairs in my living room system and there is a huge difference in sound quality. In fact, if you... posted over 21 years ago | View comment | |
My De-Compression ChamberPhantom Center: I finally tried this and the center channel in phantom didn't work as well in my system as using the center channel. The difference may be directly attributable to the fact that I'm... posted over 21 years ago | View comment | |
My De-Compression ChamberSystem edited: I've removed the PSE HL-1 from the system sicne I have removed it from the signal path. The new BEL MkVs have more resolving power than the MkIVs. So the Theta is now a great source ... posted over 21 years ago | View comment | |
My De-Compression ChamberThanks, I haven't yet had a chance to try the phantom center effect yet. I'll try to get to that as soon as I can. I have treated the primary reflections points on the side walls though. You just c... posted over 21 years ago | View comment | |
My De-Compression ChamberSince I had the BEL 1001s updated to current Mk V status I've been going through the system tuning it. Last week I reviewed several pre-amps (Aesthetix, Spectron and my PSE). The new Mk Vs made a v... posted over 21 years ago | View comment | |
My De-Compression ChamberYup! Semantics. The sound wall made a big difference. I could hear them, but they claimed to have never heard me. posted over 21 years ago | View comment | |
My De-Compression ChamberHi Pmkalby, The egg crate foam is actually an acoustic tile all over the rear wall. It's attached by velcro to a 1/2 inch plywood false wall with a 1/4 inch air gap to the regular wall. I n... posted over 21 years ago | View comment | |
My De-Compression ChamberI agree that it's worth waiting for the CBII Six Shooter. However, I'm not convinced there will be a digital output for SACD and DVD-A anytime soon. So I'm not waiting. I'm considering the LINN UNI... posted over 21 years ago | View comment | |
rich121Hi,I second the thought of getting some Vandersteens. 3A Signatures or 5s. If you opt for 3As you should find some produced in the last year if you can. Richard has made a lot of "continua... posted over 21 years ago | View comment | |
My De-Compression ChamberI tuned the bass on the Model 5s last night and the result was as expected. The bass is now +/- 3db in room at my listening position. The results of this leveling are widespread though. Essentially... posted over 21 years ago | View comment | |

My De-Compression ChamberThanks! Richard has actually been over to hear the system when I hosted a Vandersteen seminar several months ago. He certainly liked the system. Luckily, so did the guests who came to meet Richard ... posted over 21 years ago | View comment |
