| New Magnepan 3.7 i ? Elizabeth, Magnepan knew full well they would be launching the 20.7's when I bought the 3.7's. They were released within a year of my purchase. Rather than be forthcoming when asked, they got cute and played coy. I'm not taking a loss on the 3.7s ... | |
| Vandy or Maggy? Schubert, The answers you have gotten so far lead to the answer you always get when asking such a question. You must audition the speakers. I know you are serious about your music. Its worth the hassle to get speakers that will satisfy. Would you ... | |
| New Magnepan 3.7 i ? Don, I have been thinking the same thing. I do wish they would release more information about this update to the 3.7. It all seems a bit out of character for Magnepan. I'd be interested in anything that might improve the 3.7s, but frankly, I have ... | |
| Best Interconnects for Maggie 3.6s Dsper, Interesting comment on the Mye stands. I noticed the same thing. Much greater impact on my old 1.6's than on my new 3.7Rs. BTW, I am having good results with Audio Magic Liquid Air speaker cables with the 3.7's. Very smooth, good low freque... | |
| Where do audiophiles retire? Mr. Tennis, I know personally 2 people who would spend 35K on a 2 channel audio system, and I am one of the two. This audiogon community presents me with a plethora of guys who have or would spend that much or more on a 2 channel audio system. So ... | |
| Where do audiophiles retire? I'm headed just a little north of Dweller's spot. Maryville TN. But not for the music or the gear. Its all about the mountains and my passion for hiking, which is at least on a par with my passion for music. That said, looking out of my front wind... | |
| Modwright Oppo 105 - Upgrade Power Supply Tubes? Bluewolf, you might want to try the new production Gold Lion 5AR4. You can pick one up for about $35-$40, and in my experience, it is better than the old production Blackburn Mullards from the 50-60's that are becoming very rare and expensive. The... | |
| Best cheap speaker cables............again If you decide to replace you current cables, I would suggest you add anti-cables to your list. I have experience with some of the other possibilities on your list.My experience in order of preference is 1) Anticables 2) signal silver, 3) AQ4. Redu... | |
| Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013 Mitch, My thoughts exactly, except that Dan doesn't just start slapping parts in and hope it comes out ok. I looked recently and didn't see anything on his website. Its my hope he will take on the task of evaluating the Hap-z1es, and offer an upgr... | |
| Lovers of Kempe's Strauss take note Lowrider, I haven't heard the EMIs, but I have the Brilliant set that were based on the original release. The Warner remasters are so good you would never know its is the same set of recordings. I can tell you that the Warner Classics remaster is ... | |
| What is the modern equivalent to the L1090? Those old ADS speakers were real gems. I still have a pair of 1290's in my HT system. I agree it may be hard to find a modern equivalent. You might want to help us out with what your 1090's do that you really like and want to capture in a current ... | |
| The future of preamps Charles, your last comment is exactly what I was thinking. Many of us who have had the pleasure of sampling Blume's work have found it to be exceptionally true to music. Savatore would seem to be in that camp. I would tend to take Savatore's recom... | |
| good preamp for dynaco mk3 monoblocks with maggies Dover, It is always essential when considering use of a passive pre to consider both the amp and the sources. One must be very careful about system matching, although TVCs in some ways can be more forgiving than other passive designs. In the 1K pr... | |
| good preamp for dynaco mk3 monoblocks with maggies Zvovchik, You can plug a phono pre into one of the RCA inputs on any of the Promitheus TVCs. Rcprince, thanks for the comparison with the Shindo. The Promithius Signatures are just a crazy good value proposition. Nicholas really needs to establish... | |
| good preamp for dynaco mk3 monoblocks with maggies Zvovchik, It looks like the Promethius statement that was listed must have sold. I owned and used the TVC4 for about 4 years prior to buying the statement. As far as comparing the TVC4 and Statement, I would say the top end is more extended and ai... |
