| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING Those Ayons are like that. Amazing! Your CD-2 will be replaced by the CD-2s in a few months, though. | |
| A headache of choice over CD player Ok, I picked up the Wadia 381i a day ago, still needs to be run in, but here are initial impressions. I reset the internal switches to maximum gain, ie, 4V.Plugged into my C220 preamp, it was a hard choice, I felt the Bluenote Stibbert was giving ... | |
| A headache of choice over CD player I'm running the PS Audio now ...Two years ago, when I was auditioning CD players, I took a number home to try before almost settling for the Ayre CX-7e. Just as I was about to make up my mind, a dealer friend brought over the Bluenote and when we ... | |
| Cables for McIntosh Equipment I have a McIntosh C220 preamp/MC402 power amp driving Magnepan MG1.6 speakers, with a Bluenote Stibbert CD player. Tried various combinations of cables and interconnects over a year, and then, I used MIT CVT Terminator 2 right through (source-pre,... | |
| Maggie 1.6 and Vandersteen 3A sigs I find that the description of the 1.6 as having a great midrange and little else usually comes from those who haven't heard the Maggies being driven optimally.I drive my pair with McIntosh amplification, a Bluenote Stibbert CD player, Clearaudio ... | |
| Mesa Baron I like to run my Baron in 2/3 pentode, 1/3 triode mode. Yes, the triode mode is sweeter sounding, but i need a bit more power to drive the Maggies. In full triode more, bass can be a bit soft ... | |
| Mesa Baron It's been a while, but here's something I finally hit on. I had put the Baron aside for a few months, also sent it for a service (one of the meter bulbs had blown). In the meantime, I got myself a McIntosh MA402 power amp and more recently, a C220... | |
| Mcintosh sound I've a new MC402 power amp, biggest audio "investment" I ever made ... yes, its powerful, neutral and musical, drives my Maggies (MG1.6) with ease, even with a passive preamp.One of the perks is that no dealer where I live now tries to tell me tha... | |
| PS Audio Equipment??? The PS Audio PPP was delivered to me last week, part of a new shipment to the distributor. It worked for about 8 hrs, then tripped my main circuit and shut down. Subsequent attempts to start it met with the same results. I told the distributor, wh... | |
| Mesa Baron I'm trying to get my Baron to synergise with a pair of Magnepan 1.6 speakers I just got, but not quite hitting the spot so far. I sold my first Baron because, driven by an AR LS16 preamp, it didn't quite do it with my earlier set of Maggies (also ... | |
| Magnepan MG1.6 Someone from Mapleshade says their solid-core cables have gone down well with a significant number of Maggie users ... | |
| Magnepan MG1.6 Hi, tks for the advice ... yeah, the Speltz, my resident el cheapo cables, seem to be working well so far, even though the amp I'm using right now isn't the best to drive the Maggies with - an Usher pre-power based on the Threshold design from the... | |
| Magnepan MG1.6 Anyway, I got the pair home, and I'm smiling ... what's the popular cable that suits the 1.6? Currently running the panels in with a pair of Paul Speltz Anti-Cable ... | |
| Magnepan MG1.6 Yes, I would assume they are current, what I'm asking if they would sound any different from a 1.6 from the year 2000-2001? tks | |
| Mesa Baron Mesa has sent me the schematic to make the necessary changes to my Baron if I want to use other tubes, which Lloydc srongly recommends. But I haven't got around to do this yet ... I was think I'll let the current tubes go first, still have lots of... |
