| Selling dispute. Please comment. Can you contact the manufacturer and ask them if they can send you an original manual for the amp? If so, that should solve the problem. Unless it is a vintage or collectable, rare amp, I think they buyer is being VERY unreasonable, and just wants... | |
| Reference 3A DeCapo " Blue Tak" question I would not be surprised if you find that applying Blu-Tak to the bottoms will kill the energy and transient attack of the speakers. I was using some very heavy, solid stands under my de Capo's, and when trying to adhere them to the stands with Bl... | |
| Subwoofer connection Yes, straight from your amp's outputs is best. It helps to give you the best "blending" between the sound of your main speakers with the sub. You get the same sonic signature that your amp imparts to your main speakers that way. If you use RCA's f... | |
| Reference 3A Episode vs MM deCapo i Hi Rebbi;My last pair of De Capo's were made in 2010, and had the new tweeters, brass screws, internal wiring, cryo etc, but there was no mention of the "acoustic lens" you mentioned. I am not familiar with it, and will have to look into it.The ne... | |
| Reference 3A Episode vs MM deCapo i I have owned and enjoyed 3 different pairs of the de Capo i's over the years, my most recent pair being the newest 2010 versions of the de Capo's with all the latest upgrades. I purchased a new pair of Reference 3A Episodes for my system about 4 m... | |
| 2 Channel Audio Stores in Tampa/St Pete, FL I agree with both of the above posts....Sweet Home in Clearwater gets a "thumbs-up" and Audio Visions in Tampa was not a positive experience on several occasions. | |
| Speakers to pair with a Red Wine Audio Sig 15 I agree with Devilboy...with your musical preferences and room size, you would be better off seeking something with more power. | |
| Speakers to pair with a Red Wine Audio Sig 15 I listened to the Sig. 15 on my Reference 3A Episodes and de Capo i's, as well as some Triangle Comete's on a fellow audiophile's system. Both of us have owned and enjoyed small SET amps, gain clones and other low output, battery powered T-amps. | |
| Speakers to pair with a Red Wine Audio Sig 15 I recently tried the Red Wine Signature 15 amp on three different pairs of high efficiency, 8-ohm speakers, and two different systems after burning the amp in for 150-200 hours. I found the amp to sound quite "flat" and non-dynamic on all three sp... | |
| CARY -- WHERE ARE THE CHECKS AND BALANCES? I had a similar experience with Cary Audio about 8 months ago. I had a $1,500 Cary CD player that I sent to them which was in need of repair. It would turn on and light up, but the drawer would not open. I spoke with a technician at Cary who estim... | |
| Almarro has poping sound, please help Is the sound coming out of both channels or just one side?If it is just one side, try swapping the left and right output tubes and see if it goes to the other channel. If so, it is a bad output tube. If you don't know how many hours are on the out... | |
| reference 3a MM decapo ia or magnepan 1.7? I found the De capo's to sound their best with amps that emphasize clarity, speed and fine details. SET's, OTL's, and well refined gain clones or class A amps like the Pass Labs First Watts. Your big Kenwoods would serve the Maggies best if you ha... | |
| reference 3a MM decapo ia or magnepan 1.7? I have owned both MG 3A's, 1.6's and three different sets of De Capo's including the latest 2010 model with all the improvements. I recently upgraded th the Reference 3A Episodes. The big questions are, what size room are you putting them in and w... | |
| why use towers if you've got a sub?? Yes, I agree with the above poster... I would also not cut off anything below 80Hz from going to your monitors unless they were not designed to reproduce such frequencies. Subs don't do a good job of reproducing mid bass frequencies, and it is dif... |
