| New amp for Vandersteen 2CE I am going against the grain here, but doing so with a little experience with these companies. First off I am a Parasound fan. The A21 (which I own) and the A23 are engineered by John Curl. He is a very good engineer. I have also owned the DNA125 ... | |
| Looking for Speaker Recommendations - Halo P3/A21 I have the P3 and A21. I have had Snell E5s, Paradigm Monitor 9s,Vandersteen 2CE Sig IIs and Magnepan MMGs. I think the MMGs sound best, but I have heard the A21 with the Magenpan 1.7 and that was a killer combo. But like I like jazz, acoustic and... | |
| Mastersound Evo 845 or Line Magnetic 219ia I have one thing to add to this discussion. I have been using the LM Audio 216ia for about 3 years now and I really like it a lot. I had a minor issue with it and LM Audio fixed it by replacing the transformer and I paid for shipping and labor. I ... | |
| Oh brother, am I in desperate need of help! 8) I would agree with Mr_m. I own a pair of Vandersteen 2CE Sig II and I like them a lot. I would audition a pair. Another thing you could do is get the 1.7s and add a fast powered sub like rel or GR research. That would do the trick. The other speak... | |
| Decision time - Garrard 301 vs EMT938 I would keep the 301. This is a classic mechanical design and is still around after all these years, all these new designs later. You have an exceptional audio component. I would change either the tone arm, cartridge or both. Maybe a different pho... | |
| Best Component Ever, for the money No question at all. Magnepan MMGs!! | |
| Schiit Bifrost w/multibit OR.... That is some nice gear you have. I have the Vandy 2CE Sig II. I see you have the bigger Vandys and the subs. Bet it sounds great!. Also I had the Mcormack DNA-125 once. Great Amp. But I also have the Bifrost Uber and it's very nice. I don't think ... | |
| Vintage SS repair shop near Cleveland/Columbus/Detroit? Wooster Vintage Audio. Store in Akron and Wooster, Ohio. I heard they have a very good tech, an older gentleman.Give them a call. | |
| After Several Years, Time to Upgrade: Your Suggestions The Parasound integrated would be an excellent choice. But there are others too.... | |
| After Several Years, Time to Upgrade: Your Suggestions I would sell the Peachtree and the Paradigm speakers.I would replace them with a high quality integrated ss amp, a Bifrost DAC and Magnepan 1.7 speakers or Vandersteen 2CE Sigs. I would keep the Vandy sub and crossover.The 1.7's would really sound... | |
| Docking station for an iphone Yes but there is an adapter for the lightning connection of the later versions of the iphone. I use this and it works fine. I have my I20 running out to a Bifrost Uber extrenal DAC. Sound fantastic! | |
| Is the move up to Parasound Halo A21 worth it? 213runnin, sounds like you've made some great changes. I was surprised how much I liked the Parasound equipment. I think John Curl is one of the best audio engineers. Enjoy | |
| Magnepan 1.7i - Is a Luxman 505UX good enough My opinion is that the 1.7i will sound very good, but not optimal. I think you need lots of current. I would look for a dual-mono amp.That usually means more $$. But I have heard that 1.7's sound best with the powerful amps. | |
| What's Up with Magnapan at Shows? Magnepan is one of those companies that make a product that people either Iuv or hate.I have the MMGs and about half the people who have listened to them in my home have been astonished at the clarity of the sound. For some who don't think they ha... | |
| Is the move up to Parasound Halo A21 worth it? I had a boutique amp and preamp for which I saved all my pennies to get. I really had a big desire for this sought after combo. When I finally got it I had problems with noise and after many, many months sold the gear. I had an older Parasound 5 c... |
