| David Wilson must be a little annoyed... Dont think Wilson or Magico are raking the dosh in - the price they charge is high because of the model they have chosen - namely spending a fortune on marketing so everyone knows about them. For example when new Magico speakers were released in S... | |
| Magico V3 with tubed amplification, will it work ? With highly transparent speakers like the Magico Mini its purely a matter of personal preference if you power it with valve or high power SS.I owned a speaker similar to the Mini, a ML1, and drove it successfully with 2 amps - a 15W Leben and 100W... | |
| $165k - $200k speaker performance for $40k ? Hi Jwn and VladimirYea forget this reviewers rubbish - listen to gear at Hi Fi shows, friends and acquaintances places, at Hi Fi stores that stock interesting gear - that is the real key - not worrying if it will best some uber expensive gear you ... | |
| David Wilson must be a little annoyed... Mate if you or anyone believes what the Absoulute Sound writes is the be all and end all you need to get out and hear more gear.IMHO neither the Magico nor the Wilsons are the best cost is not object stuff out there - nor are they by a long shot c... | |
| $165k - $200k speaker performance for $40k ? To answer the question in general the answer is yes. I know at least one speaker that will do it - and at $13-15k not $40k:http://www.stereo.net.au/forums/index.php?/topic/46808-lenehan-ml-ii-reference-limited-edition/http://www.stereo.net.au/foru... | |
| Anyone ever compare Deluend to Russian KBG Duelund blows anything else away. A speaker manufacturer I know has heard them all and compared them all and Duelund is simply the best by a country mile.He has them as an option in all his speakers and due to their cost can double the price of as... | |
| Is it possible to have an accurate speaker No - it is not possible to have a 100%$ accurate speaker - nor is it desirable.For example it is well known that the most accurate speaker alignment called transient perfect sounds too thin and that a slightly less accurate alignment sounds more r... | |
| Hi-end sound from iTunes running on MacPro I have tried many players on the Mac and Pure Music is good but the best I find is actually one of the cheapest - BitPerfect:https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/bitperfect/id455545700?mt=12As to the DAC Steve's suggestion of a WFS is true - fed with I... | |
| Burson 160D vs "others" Good against stuff in its price range - possibly even the best. But out of its depth against more expensive stuff.ThanksBill | |
| Why do modern DACs over $1,000 sound different? Steve nailed it.I have done experiments with low jitter sources (an Off-Ramp and Audiophellio). They are both below 10ps, which is very very low, so low you need specialist equipment to measure it, and they sound different.I have done the experime... | |

| are all sacd players the same? Without doubt there are big differences.The Oppo comparison to my Playback Designs is a joke. The Playback Designs MURDERS it. In fact via DSD the PD is the best source I know - not via PCM - with PCM there are better DAC's such as my PDX - but vi... | |

| Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following It's the thin wall technology. It colors the speakers but in a way that appeals to many people.Harbeth are my favorite English speakers but my current speakers are much more neutral and to my ears in every way better.IMHO it's best to add a smidge... |
