| Movies/TV Shows Look like Video Most tv shows and a lot of films are no longer recorded to film but are recorded to video tape or another form of digital storage. Film for tv has been gone for quite a few years | |
| Rethm Maarga Impressions. I have Lowther Medallions and have heard them with t-amps many times. While the sound can be decent a set amp is much better. Also the Transcendent sound single ended OTL would also be heaven with your speakers and can be built as a kit for $750. ... | |
| TT grounding issue Mofimadness is correct. No problemI operate my turntable the same way | |
| Building a System around Magnepan Speakers... In answer to your post point by point1. I think the 1.6's will be a good buy2. Your statement about tubes is not true. I drive my 3.6's with a VTL-ST85 and they sound great at 85w per channel. I would recommend VTL, VAC, ARC for tubes and Odyssey,... | |
| focal 816v best speakers for classical music? Magnapan 1.7's or used 3.6's I have 3.6's and classical music on these speakers is the most realistic I have ever heard and I have heard a lot of speakers in my time | |
| Classe CAP 2100 for Maggie 3.6? The Classe is 200w into 4 ohms. That will be fine with the 3.6's. I use an 85w tube amp with my 3.6's and they sound great. You will love the Maggies but you need to set them up correctly | |
| Equipment you just must get if you can I would like the new Carver mono blocks for my Maggies | |
| Have digital players improved They have improved. I would not say equal to analog. Digital and analog just sound different to me but both are very satisfying | |
| Your thoughts on these different tubes?.. I f have found that the design of the amp has more to do with it than the particular tube. I have two great sounding amps, one has 6sn7/kt-88's and the other has 12at7/6ca7's. Both are equally musically and emotionally involving. This is true only... | |
| Magnepan 3.7R's Jumpers and Resistors I use the Cardas jumpers on my 3.6's. Very pleased with them | |
| Best CD/SACD Players under $3K Sony 5400ES or Oppo BDP-95. I have the Sony and do not yearn for anything better. $1000 new when you can find one | |
| Looking to get the best sound I can Althought I don't feel you need megawatts to drive the 1.6's the 50w of the Jolida may be a limiting factor. Also the quality of this amp is lacking I feel for the Maggies. I would audition some higher power tube amps; say 100w at least. VTL, Quic... | |
| Much better MM cartridge than Shure V15 IV? Ortofon 2M Bronze or Black | |
| Sonic difference K2CD vs SACD It really depends more on the mastering than the format. You will not find a copy of each format with the same mastering to do this comparison. A redbook with better mastering will sound better than either K2CD or SACD. The 5 to 10% comment is mea... | |
| Getting a new table what pre-amp to get Are you talking Phono stage or preamp or preamp with phono stage. If you are really into vinyl I would get the better table and upgrate phono stage and preamp later. You will still enjoy your system even with a less expensive preamp |
