Since there are thousands of different combinations of components, we cannot give any specific recommendations. Your VR dealer, however, is experienced with many types of components and should be consulted for best results. We have made an effort to seek out dealers who are experienced in the art of component matching and have full trust in their abilities, so please use their expertise when building a system around the VR series of loudspeakers.
TROUBLE SHOOTING: Your VR dealer should have the necessary resources to investigate any problems you may experience when setting up a
Bright Sound:
A very common problem is brightness, and is wrongly attributed to the speakers since they are the apparent source of all sound. Some of the causes of brightness are:
1.Powerline Noise. Can be ameliorated with a proper line conditioner.
2.Cable Resonance. Too many brands of different cables, which interact improperly. Switch interconnects, including the digital cable, to a different brand.
3.Digital Noise. Use a powerline filter on DAC only. Many times the harshness is created by digital noise bleeding into the preamp, so don’t put the preamp on the same filter as the DAC.
4.Lack of Proper
5.Source Material. Unfortunately, most commercial CDs are bright! Try using the Green Felt Pen and the Bedini Clarifier. Make sure you clean the CDs and do not allow them to get scratched.
6.Transistor Sound. Older transistor gear is bright and lacks depth. Invest in newer gear.
7.Dirty Connections. Proper maintenance of a system requires cleaning of all RCA connectors once a month; do not forget to clean the AC plug prongs. Tube sockets and pins need to be cleaned as well, and is a source of ‘tube glare’, along with tube deterioration itself. See your dealer for cleaners.
8.Cold Equipment. The entire system must be left on (excluding tube amplifiers) continuously for best sound quality. Cold equipment, especially transistor preamps and DACs, sound thin, sterile, and lack depth or dimension. Cold transistor amplifiers sound
