| Magico A3 vs. Wilson SabrinaX @mheinze mheinze… The A3 is a much better speaker, objectively (See reviews and measurements). Yeah you’re right. If the reviews and measurements say it’s a better speaker than it must be true… Also, yes you’re right on point - It was the $... | |
| Need suggestions on efficient book shelf speakers for a Pass Labs XA3.5 @puffbojie ha! I drive Wilsons Audio Sabrina with XA30.8. Your XA30.5 is 30w into 8ohms in pure Class A at lowest distortion rated by Pass Labs. It then switches to Class A/B and delivers around 130w/ch. You know it’s in Class A/B when the needle ... | |
| Magico A3 vs. Wilson SabrinaX @mheinze I’m not familiar with lyngdorf design but I can’t imagine it contributed to the sound that much especially when we’re talking about cabinet artifacts. Also, I don’t see any threads on any forums titled magico haters. Do you? But here i... | |
| Magico A3 vs. Wilson SabrinaX I auditioned the A3s (associated electronics were Lyngdorf integrated and very high end cables) in my search for a new pair of speakers. I found them to sound dark, closed in, lacking air and sense of space, with boomy bass. They lacked life and I... | |
| Streamer creates a Wow experience @soix hey that’s awesome you’re in love with your new set up! Enjoy it!! When are you getting a DDC? Keep the thoughts flowing…update us here on how that changed the sound. | |
| Batteries in my Audioquest Colorado RCA interconnects @cinqcepages in my experience I always got the best results with the best interconnects between pre and amp. But…bottleneck’s a bottleneck no matter where it is. | |
| Network Players and External DACs @gregorybraun that’s an awesome cd player! Going with ARC DAC is a good approach. Or if you can find a used ARC CD6 it features usb input so you can run your streamer or laptop directly into it. | |
| Shostakovich Fifth Symphony It’s a masterpiece. Thanks for this post @mahler123 One of my favorite versions of the 5th is Rostropovich with London Symphony on LSO. For those who are getting into Shostakovich, his string quartets are absolutely amazing! I was lucky enough... | |
| how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable? @ghdprentice +1. You don sound like you feel you got your money’s worth. Earlier I recommended Rega P2 set up by Upscale. You can’t go wrong there. | |
| how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable? Why…is it too difficult to remove the cover? Should just slide into and out of the mounts on the back. | |
| Has anyone compared Lumin the U1 Mini to the U2 Mini? I have a U1 Mini and it’s an excellent streamer. I went from AURALiC Aries G1 to Lumin and preferred the sound of Lumin. In looking at new features in U2 Mini it’s mostly about processing and upsampling and new finish for the case. I never care... | |
| how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable? What you’re describing is a product of turntable not being perfectly level, antiskate is not properly set and VTF isn’t right. First and foremost, make sure the table is level - remove the cover, use adjustable feet or coins under the feet and ch... | |
| Tube PHONO preamp interference - RFI, EMI, bad grounding? @filipm 8 days later and you are exactly where you started. You have a broken or poorly designed component or the combination of the two. You should reach out to the person you bought it from and start working thru some sort of resolution. If it’s... | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? Got it! I just went through a DAC upgrade myself. Ended up with a Bricasti M3. Years ago I had an Audio Research CD3 MkII CD player running it with ARC LS-25 preamp, Pass X250.5 amp and B&W N803. I sold the CD3 MkII when I went with a comput... | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? @viethluu just curious, have you tried the Warm “orange” filter on the Qutest? I remember when I had the Qutest I really liked the sweeter sound that engaging the Warm filter produced. |
