| Why all these JC-1's for sale? Sean -Your #5 (insufficient available current) is quite possibly a common culprit. In addition, the JC-1's really do take two months of continuous play to fully break in, and that's probably the equivalent of several years of normal use. The JC-1'... | |
| Magnepan20.1 And Soundlab A-1 Hello Snook2,I like your taste in speakers!First off, just so everyone knows, I peddle the Sound Labs, though I've owned many a Maggie and respect the line a great deal. My experiences are with the Maggie 20 instead of the 20.1, and I'm sure the n... | |
| 14 x 14 foot room, too small for Magnepan MMGs? Tomek -MMG's will work fine in your room, and quite likely better than box speakers would because they won't put as much energy into the room's bass resonant modes.If by chance you have the freedom to do so, you might try positioning your set-up d... | |
| Sub woofers for electrostatics Hello Seadogs1,Here is Buggtussel's address:http://www.buggtussel.com/ | |
| Sub woofers for electrostatics I've had good results with the Bugtussel Tegmentum sub (which I sell). The transmission-line Tegmentum has low coloration with good transient response (very low overhang), as well as an extremely flexible crossover/equalizer built in, which is esp... | |
| Best amps for full range electrostatic loudspeaker I own and sell Sound Labs, and also sell several amplifiers that work well with 'em - including Atma-Sphere, Wolcott, Parasound JC-1, InnerSound, GamuT, and Clayton Audio. Among the amplifiers that customers of mine have had good results with incl... | |
| Help Need new speakers. It's important that the main left & right speakers have the same voicing as the center channel. The surrounds are less critical in this respect. Assuming you're committed to keeping your center channel, I'd suggest if possible using the same b... | |
| Your ''best kept secret'' speaker choice ? The little Maggie MMG should be outlawed. Banned. Verboten. Interdict. Kapu. No $550 a pair speaker has any business sounding that damn good. And those Quad 57's still floating around - geeze, let's get 'em off the market already. Their time is ov... | |
| Will Quad 989s work well in my active room? Hello Eetheredge, Quads will work fine in your room. Just give them some space behind to breathe.By "active", I presume you mean your room is acoustically very lively, with lots of reverberant energy. That's not necessarily a bad thing. You'll be ... | |
| dac help for hard drive digital. I'm not sure what your budget is, but it's possible that the Birdland Odeon-AG might work well for you. You can switch between three inputs: Two toslinks, and then a BNC and XLR connector share the third input (only one of them will be active so y... | |
| Goldmund vs. Atma-Sphere The first question that comes to mind is: What speakers do you have? The S-30 doesn't like low impdance loads, so some care is necessary in loudspeaker selection and/or interfacing. I'm using M-60's with Zero autoformers in a demo system, and the ... | |
| Best Used Solid State Amp for less than $5000? Hello Russelrcncom,I have a customer who tried the JC-1's and CAM-350's (as well as a few other amps) in his system driving Sound Lab electrostats, and he ended up purchasing the JC-1's. That may or may not bear any relationship to how they sound ... | |
| Alternative to Plinius SA-102? Hello Inpieces,I passed your e-mail contact information on to Richard Schram, the president of Parasound, and he said he'd have someone get in touch with you. Best of luck to you!Duke | |
| How to evaluate speakers? First, it would be helpful if you do some blind listening - that is, where you don't know which speaker is which. Use single speaker vs. single speaker, as it probably won't be posssible to position two pairs of speakers for comparable sound in yo... | |
| Reference quality line stage? Hello Glider,The Blowtorch is fantastic. Best solid state preamp I've ever heard, and quite possibly the best regardless of type. Nope, I don't sell 'em. You might also want to consider the Atma-Sphere MP-1, which it just so happens I do sell (sur... |
