| Magico Comparison I am not impressed with Magico - brittle comes to mind. Also a guy I know has a LOT of experience with Magico being invited to private demonstrations by the maker, Wolf. He is even less impressed, telling Wolf just what he thought - and it was not... | |
| Any impressions of CHORD or Mytek DACs? I got my power supply and indeed it did everything Butler said and is well worth the money.Interestingly at a GTG where I first heard the difference a linear supply makes I thought it was better than the difference my Off-Ramp made but in my syste... | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors with low power amp? Yea that will be fine - of course depending on your listening level. But at 88db 60W is enough if you don't listen to Rage Against The Machine at full head banging volume. ThanksBill | |
| Any impressions of CHORD or Mytek DACs? Hi Again Erndog - and of course anyone else following thisA guy out here in Australia got a linear PS for it and here is what he posted:After connecting the Chord to the linear PSU I was shocked by the difference. When I said a few posts ago that ... | |
| Any impressions of CHORD or Mytek DACs? Hi ErndogI found the top-end slightly bland and a bit dry without the Off-Ramp but with the Off-Ramp it became a lot sweeter and more detailed - but one person there, actually the manufacturer of my PDX DAC, commented it had a lot more HF energy t... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE It really is interesting how everyone here has such a good word for Rockports. The Rockport Mira 2 and my new Lenehan ML2 Limited are my two favorite speakers - but the Lenehans are more of an Australian thing - if you aren't in Australia audition... | |
| most euphonic DACs? Good one.Don't know any of the DAC's you mention but I have heard quite a few DAC's in my time and the most euphonic by a long way to my ears is a Killer DAC. It not what you would call coloured but has this full rich sound that is very addictive.... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Hi DanThats the exact reason I prefer Rockports and Lenehan's to the Tannoys - they seem to be as musical and satisfying as the Tannoy and yet have the detail of Magico's. But there are plenty who don't agree - viva la difference I say.ThanksBill | |
| PMC vs. Salk Sound Speakers. Which is better? AudiozenThe issue with your view is I don't think you have had many people over to actually hear stuff - I have - nor have you gone to others places to hear different stuff - I have.It varies enormously what people think is a 'better' sound and sy... | |
| Does anyone have any experience with PSB Speakers Heard their Syncrony speaker. Very ordinary. Some wag evidently said it was the 20th best speaker ever made or some number like that - can't remember exactly what it was. As one guy said at the time you could be forgiven thinking if it was the 20t... | |
| PMC vs. Salk Sound Speakers. Which is better? With regards to the original question you must hear them yourself - getting others opinions is only really of value getting ideas about what you should listen to and perhaps the best way to audition them.But I am sitting here shaking my head at th... | |
| Speaker Choice Just a comment on Thiels.Thiels nail everything - I simply cant fault them - except in one area - a bit dry, thin and slightly uninvolving although to some extent that's fixed by valve source gear.Make sure you listen to Thiels before investing in... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Entirely different speakers - in fact you are unlikely to find two different speakers anywhere.Magico is of the accuracy detail type and, to some like me, can come across as perhaps a bit brittle, dry and uninvolving, but due to the very low reson... | |
| Good dac to reproduce soprano vocals? I was going to reply with something along the lines of Steve.But once jitter is taken care of the character of the DAC also comes into it. The DAC I have heard recently that makes vocals sound really good is the new Chord QuteHD. Another DAC with ... | |
| Best Sounding CD / SACD player under 15K Rok2id - Yes indeed such exist.I use computer audio exclusively myself but the best actual player I have heard is a Playback Designs MPS-5. I also own the MPD-3 and IMHO it is very close to the MPS-5 - certainly not the price difference better. I ... |
