| Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which? @pureclarity I also have a Belles Soloist 1 integrated amp and it is one of the less successful combinations in my system. The sound is too stressed, with no sense of power and body - compared with the Vincent or the Naim combo. Also the Belles ge... | |
| Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which? @pureclarity, I have several amps and cables to work with, and I have tried almost every combination. The two that I have used the most are: - Naim Nac 122x / Flatcap 2x / Nap 150x with Naim Nac A5 cables - Vincent SV-237MK with Van Damme L-OFC... | |
| Power amplifier longevity… thoughts? @atmasphere thanks, unfortunately they are out of my budget, but must sound great. @milpai yes, the A21 is a beast and I love Parasound gear. I will try to find one used. I believe that they not so common here in Europe. | |
| Power amplifier longevity… thoughts? @atmasphere that makes sense, Class A amps probably will require maintenance before other types. That said, my interest lays on 5 to 15 year old amps, after that I consider them to risky. What are the Class D you have as a reference? | |
| Power amplifier longevity… thoughts? @cdorval1 at the dealer, I have listened the 1.7i with an EAM integrated (made in Italy) and they sounded ok - it was my first real Magnepan experience - but now, after living with the LRS+ for a month, listening daily, I must say that amp lacked ... | |
| Power amplifier longevity… thoughts? Thanks for all the suggestions but I forgot to mention that: - I live in Europe (230v / 50-60hz) - my budget is up to €2500 / $2775 Although my main goal is to drive the LRS+, my question is about power amplifiers longevity and the risk of buyi... | |
| Can the Acurus A200 amp drive the Magnepan LRS+ ? Wow! That was indeed a great commitment: 7 channels Magnapan! Thanks for sharing and recommending the Acurus :) | |
| Toe in is crucial I am well aware of the importance of toe-in in some speakers, but I have always preferred those speakers that work better with no toe-in at all, like my Totem Model 1 or Thiel CS.5. | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! In my experience, streamers can be good but don’t engage me as the CD. Not only for the sound, but for the physical aspect (reading the booklet, collecting and organizing them…), for the simplicity within the system (just plug it to the power, use... | |
| Thiel Owners I have the chance to buy a pair of mint condition SCS4T and I wonder if someone can share some users experiences. I have a small dedicated listening room (190 sq feet) and perhaps it can work in such small space. Thanks. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Lately I am in a special mood for some: - Bud Powell - Charles Mingus - Roland Kirk - Charlie Haden so I revisiting all the many CDs I have from those great musicians. Right now: Roland Kirk - Rashaan Rashaan (1970 Atlantic) | |
| Amp — Leave on or turn off I listen to my system every day for 4-5 hours and turn it off after. Turn in on, more or less 30 min before the listening session takes place. Some of my gear have tubes (hybrid integrated amps, preamps and dacs) and I want to extend the life of... | |
| Belles Soloist 1 integrated amplifier @jl35 many thanks, I will do that :) | |
| Belles Soloist 1 integrated amplifier @jl35 did you remember what was the “remote control logic circuit” on the Belles Soloist 1? The manual says: - the remote on/off button enable or disable the remote control logic circuit - the amplifier can be operated with the remote control ... | |
| Audio Mirror Tubadour V I have the IsoAcoustics ZaZen II platform under my Audiolab 9000CDT CD transport and it is amazing! Great value also. https://isoacoustics.com/home-audio-isolation-products/zazen-series/ |
