| 5AR4/GZ34 Rectifier Tubes Dodgealum, Your findings in comparing the Blackburn Mullard and Create synergy 5AR4 in your LS 100 parallel exactly my take on the two tubes in the ModWright Sony 5400. I agree that they are both superb tubes, with certain systems or tastes tippin... | |
| Just starting out I think you are on the right track. If you have no CD's, building a system around hi resolution downloads makes sense as your primary source. Part of what you should consider is your taste in music. If your interest is primarily classical, be awar... | |
| Magnepan mg1.6 vs mg1.7 bass quality? I auditioned the 1.7's about a year ago, and owned the 1.6's at the time. It was a brief audition, because I was really interested in the 3.7R's which I bought. That said, the 1.7's did not strike me all that favorably. I would say, though, that a... | |
| Why don't you like Mageplanar speakers? I dislike my Magnepan 3.7's because I bought them about a year before the 20.7's came out. Now, I may have to sell my 3.7's to Elizabeth so I can get the 20.7's. OK, I love my Maggies, so I probably shouldn't answer, but here goes anyway.Photon, I... | |

| THIEL CS3.7 Anyone heard them? Cmalak, The amplification was Electrocompaniet. Don't know the specific model. I heard the same front end followed by a Wilson/BAT audition in another room, followed by the Electrocompaniet/Thiel audition back in the first room. I did not hear any... | |
| THIEL CS3.7 Anyone heard them? Honeybee, I'm really sensitive to timber issues, and the music I listen to only makes it worse. I'd much rather give up two octaves on the bottom end than be a micro smidgeon off on timber. The Thiels are good speakers. They may be just fine for y... | |
| THIEL CS3.7 Anyone heard them? I guess I would really want to do a careful audition with blues and Jazz. I think there you might well notice the slight issue with timber that I heard. I could see the CS3.7's being pretty good with classic rock. Careful audiiton is always good a... | |
| THIEL CS3.7 Anyone heard them? It might be helpful if you gave us an idea about what kind of music you listen to. I auditioned the CS3.7s back about a year ago. I auditioned a bunch of speakers, and the CS3.7's fell a notch down from Wilson Sophia 3's and Magnepan 3.7R's. They ... | |
| Magneplanar 3.7 - recommended preamp and amp I replaced my Cary 500MB's with Cary 500.1MB's. Like many others (search the forums), I find the Cary/Maggie combo to be terrific. I have also found the Cary's low input impedance and high input sensitivity make them ideal for using a passive pre,... | |
| 5AR4/GZ34 Rectifier Tubes Mofimadness, The create tubes are reasonably priced compared to what I paid for my vintage Mullard. It is not an expensive experiment to try one out. Even if you don't like it as well as the Mullard, its probably worth having as a very good back u... | |
| bipoles/dipoles for music... Prepare for an onslaught of responses from Maggie lovers. Boy, are you asking for trouble. I attend at least a dozen live performances a year. I find that Maggies do a credible job of reproducing symphonic music. | |
| Magnepan Service HORRIBLE??? Etmerritt,I think anyone who has experienced the kind of frustration you have described has a right to expect more and every right to be angry. It is really a moot point that you should have made the seller deal with this in the first place. Magne... | |
| REL R-328... Anybody Heard One? I auditioned the 328 briefly with magnepan 1.7's. I was very, very impressed. Problem is I have balance monoblocks so I really need two. The dealer advised 2 218s would be the way to go for me, but I might just get 2 328's. These things are doing ... | |
| Magnepan 3.6 or 3.7 - The smart choice? Stickman, Will you please stop that? You are making me crazy. Now everytime I listen to my 3.7's I'll be lusting after her sister.I guess I should have waited, and I would have if Magnepan had been transparent on their plans to release the 20.7's. |
