| Need upgrade, sell the B&W 602 and get a tube amp? If you listen to music more that watch movies, sell the Denon and get a Rogue Tempest Magnum Integrated. The 602's are good speakers for a fair size room. Also, what is your source? | |
| Tuner in the 600 range for classical music? Flybass, get the Etude for sure! I started with the Magnum Dynalab FT11, then the FT101A and not I have the 2001 FT101A Etude. If you can, buy the a 2001 Etude, as all the 2001's have the new circuit board that is the same as the new MD100 model. ... | |
| Best Power Cord Try out the Virtual Dynamics Signature with Cryogenic treatment. Get the Reference w/cryo if you want to save a little more. www.virtualdynamics.comThere are many threads about these power cables on Audiogon. | |
| Capability to Search for Local Used Equipment Justdan, I'm from Canada and I believe this system wouldn't be very useful for Canadians. There simply isn't enough people to warrant the need. If Audiogon is at it, then it would be nice to see it, but it would just be icing on the cake! | |
| Virtual Dynamics Interconnects. Any experience? Hey Stbhorn, your findings mirror my findings. I've had them the whole package with some Ref cables for over a month and only recently have I had a session when I actually jumped out of my chair with a huge smile on my face! The depth is just wond... | |
| Rogue Owners Unite Bradz, some other guys on here have done the sand trick. Member "David99" is the guy you want to talk to. He sent me an email with detailed instructions but I lost it! Let me know how it works out. | |
| Rogue Owners Unite Hey Bradz, I'm also curious. I don't want to bias your findings, but the 99 uses the 6SN7's octal tubes which are known to reduce grain and smooth things out. The 6SN7 is a much better tube than the small 12AX tubes IMO. Are you getting the Magnum... | |
| Virtual Dynamics Interconnects. Any experience? Hey Stbhorn, your comments made me laugh :) I rent a master bedroom in a house close to campus that is about 20L X 13W. The dimensions of the room make it perfect for a bed, desk and system. I removed the closet doors to add 3ft of depth to the ro... | |
| One Box CD Player or EAD with new Chord 64 Hey Barry, I read your comments on another thread about the EAD and Theta LD players. I totally believe you, but the EAD Ultradisk 2000 with the Jeff Rowland faceplate just looks so good! I'd really hate to see it go. As it is, the Pioneer stable ... | |
| Virtual Dynamics Interconnects. Any experience? You can see my system here My SystemInitially I noticed that the cables were much more resolving than the Cardas. After about a month of break in, they sounded perfect. For the ICs I used the MOBIE cable cooker and for the Reference speaker cables... | |
| Rogue Owners Unite Axspike, have you talked to Mark at Rogue Audio. I'm almost certain he'd know which tube would work. | |
| Virtual Dynamics Interconnects. Any experience? Stbhorn, YES. PC's will make the biggest improvement and IC's will also contribute. I noticed the biggest improvement with Auditon PC and Audition IC on the CDP. | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? I drive a 2001 Trek 8500. It's a 21.5" frame and flies on the trails! For all you non bikers out there, this is a bike. No insurance payments, DIY maintenance and the girls dig it (maybe not). My $$$ flow goes into the system instead of that BMW I... | |
| Rogue Owners Unite Hey guys, who here is using the Magnum 99 pre with the Magnum M120's?? | |
| How do you decide on new music to buy? Listen to music first, either at a friend's place or sample the cd on MP3 format. Gone are the days when you had to buy a cd blind! Currently, all my cd's are played... I don't have any of those that just sit at the bottom of the pile. Kthomas, I ... |
