| Maybe buying a different amp Try an Orchard Audio Starkrimson. They are running an amp tour on another forum. Listen to the amp free for a week, then ship it to the next person. Sign up with email on the company website. I bought one after participating in the tour. Love it. ... | |
| Warmer class D amps for magnepan? The Orchard Audio class D amps work well with Magneplanars. The Absolute Sound has a video using them together. Orchard Audio is running a tour on another forum. Listen to the amp a week for free. Then pay to ship it to next person on the list. Hi... | |
| ONE MINUTE Premium Power Cable Survey Some of my power cords are 15 years old. My Don Sachs linestage came with an Ice Age Audio power cord that is huge and really adds some body to the sound. Ordered two more. PS Audio S300, Orchard Audio Starkrimson Ultra and Oppo 105 behaved the sa... | |
| Looking for an usb player Thanks to everyone for all the info. @kota1 the Zidoo Z10 looks very promising. I will look into it more. Thanks, aldnorab | |
| I noticed brightness/harshness more than usual from my system a couple months back. I had the same problem a few months ago. It was the ac wall voltage. It was so high one of my amps would shut down. Check your wall voltage with a multimeter. I now have a 20amp variac that allows dialing in the voltage wanted. Going from over 125... | |
| Looking for an usb player @fmer thanks for the Hi-Fi Rose suggestion. I'll look into it. @erik_squires yes, just play files from hard drive. If no HDMI out for a tv what are people using...a tablet? Tried playing files via computer, spent more time fixing things than pla... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Glad to hear this @rrboogie . Horns are very demanding. Adjustable gain is a Supratek advantage. It allows better system matching and lower noise. Those are some highly rated linestages. Glad it is performing so well. I considered Modwright and R... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I had two of their power cables (not AC cords) for my digital setup years ago. They made a nice improvement. Just ordered a new Chardonnay from Mick. I'll look into an umbilical cord for it. Thanks, aldnorab | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Order is in to Mick for a powder coat Chardonnay. I paid extra for the domes. Gotta have the domes for that Supratek look. Appreciate all the patience and help from the people in this thread. Especially lately from @jslateiv @jackd , and of cour... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Thanks @jackd . If the Cabernet is even less warm and tubey than the Sachs, I might be better off with the Chardonnay. My system has a little bit of an electrostatic tonal balance. A little extra mid bass warmth and lower midrange presence would b... | |
| Paul McGowan gets asked about rotary subs. Interesting subject. Can think of a few things that might have slowed ET down. 1. In their beginning years Magnepan partnered with Audio Research a lot. Not a bad company to be associated with. 2. ET went hybrid with planar/cone woofer. People m... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @jslateiv thanks for the info. It was exactly what I was hoping for. Just have to decide between Chardonnay and Cabernet. Thanks, aldnorab | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @jslateiv thanks. I can definitely work with that. One more question. Is the XLR input truly balanced or a "convenience" connection. Thanks, aldnorab | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Thanks jackd. Have a question about Chardonnay and Cabernet output. My solid state amps stay on all the time for better sound quality. Does Supratek mute the output during power up and down? Thanks, aldnorab | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Do the Chardonnay automatically ship with one set of input & output XLR? Thanks, aldnorab |
