| new Meitner MA3 hit the rack today Liking what roon did for classical music and compositions,conductors, etc. LOVE what the MA3 has done to the overall playback. Best I can describe without all those stupid metaphors or sounding snooty is the thing just kinda gets out of the way.... | |
| new Meitner MA3 hit the rack today Roon just went live with it's MA3 certification in past day or so. I've updated my settings. I am going to get some listening time this weekend with the MA3 as a decoder and render directly, removing the Oppo (and toslink thank the good lord) | |
| new Meitner MA3 hit the rack today Okay, using qobuz/tidal direct with the unit produces some fine sounds and is quite the experience. Have to use this off the shelf crappy app called M connect. Makes the UI/UX on Aurender seem like a pinnacle of good design ;-( The unit is still ... | |
| new Meitner MA3 hit the rack today So VERY early assessment. It been powered on continuously for a week now, and overnight just firing up a random 8 hr playlist to break it in. May need 300-500 hours to settle in, but...... Wow, for the money will be tough to beat. Since it’s not... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Dead can dance, live in Chicago, 2005. Was at the show, also have the pressing on LP. Company called The Show did these productions and boy are they good. | |
| Warm, rich but detailed SS preamp (made you give up tubes) The Pass Labs XP-30 made me leave the tube preamp behind. Unless i had a change to get into a VAC Statement Pre at firesale prices! | |
| Valve phono stage Have had the Aesthetix Rhea signature for a number of years. Balanced out, multiple arms supported, MC demagnetizer, and with some late 50s Amperex or Millard 12ax7 and 6dj8, for the money, it’s very hard to beat. You can find them used often, a... | |
| Aesthetix Rhea and Calypso Tube rolling-what did you do? I went with Andy B over at VTS. Super stellar guy. Takes the time, wants to ensure you know what you are getting. In this current age of commerce Andy is a breath of fresh air. I cannot recommend him highly enough! He's got my business for li... | |
| Magnepan 3.7i Amplifiers Aesthetix or Modwright? Thoughts? What did you have before amplification-wise and are you currently running the 3.7i? | |
| Magnepan 3.7i Amplifiers Aesthetix or Modwright? Thoughts? Looking for a better top end and midrange. That 602 has an iron like grip on the lower registers, the McIntosh 'house sound' needs to get changed up. While the mac has served me well for many years, it's time to move up the food chain. I have a... | |
| Aesthetix Rhea and Calypso Tube rolling-what did you do? There's a ton of great info and feedback on those Amperex 12ax7s. Seemed like a 'safe bet' to start there. I can see how this becomes an addiction real quick. I thought I had a problem with Pinot Noirs, betchya that takes a back seat to tube ro... | |
| Aesthetix Rhea and Calypso Tube rolling-what did you do? Gave Andy a call. I already have Amperex 7308 green globes in the 6922 position in the Calypso, but pulling the stock Sovteks and going with a pair of 60's Amperex bugle boys. Looking forward to the see what the change will be. I'm certain for ... | |
| Aesthetix Rhea and Calypso Tube rolling-what did you do? Thanks for the response. I have spent a good deal of this weekend crawling the web and it seems the Amperex Bugle Boys may be right up the alley for the 12ax 7 positions. Now to figure out the 6922, maybe Amperex 7308s? Maybe telefunken? Not t... |
