| Ultralinear vs. Triode I just switched my new Magnum M120's to triode and I immediately missed the power of UL... Yes triode is a little smoother, but the bass slam and imaging gets a little sloppy. | |
| "Super" Tweeters for new digital formats? I read some related info on the B&W website. | |
| Ultralinear vs. Triode I also have about 200 hours on the M120 Magnums. They are just wonderful. My speakers seem to like more power, so I think I'll be happy with UL for a while. I a few weeks when they're fully run in I'll flow it over to Triode. If you'd like to talk... | |
| Tube Pre-amps for audition list Rogue Magnum 99 pre. It comes with an analogue remote, headphone jack and optional phono stage. I am currently using the 66 Magnum pre with Rogue's M120 Magnum Monoblocs and I'm finding it hard to leave the house for any extended period of time. A... | |
| MDF sand box tweak - effective for DAC, pre-amp? I use the sand boxes for Pre-amp and Monoblocs. I found the sandbox sucked the life out of my cd player. I had better luck with the BDR #3 Racing cones under the cd player. If I had to do the sand boxes again, I'd use Corian on top of the sand ins... | |
| Whats the deal with CD players? Chances are your system is not resolving enough for you to be able to tell the difference between mediocre and elite cd players. If there's a bottleneck somewhere, you'll hear it more than anything else! | |
| Rogue Owners Unite I noticed another thing with the M120's. You have to use the exact same length or power cord for each side. | |
| Rogue Owners Unite I would try grounding only the pre and lifting the ground on all other components. Make sure at least one component is grounded or you'll get a shock. Once you've lifted the ground, you can also switch the 2 prongs and play with polarity. | |
| Rogue Owners Unite Grandpad, thanks for your comment, it helped me get rid of the humming in my M120 Magnums. | |
| NEW Musical Fidelity DAC Listened to the new A3 24 DAC from MF yesterday. Compared it to the Bel Canto DAC1 and the new Jolida CDP. We were using the Sony 777 as a transport, B&W802 and SF amplification. A few things I noticed:1. Huge bass2. Detailed highs and control... | |
| Rogue Owners Unite Precbsed, have you tried the Rogue 99 pre? I hear it is much better than the 66. I am using the 66 Magnum right now and I love it. | |
| Who has tried Virtual Dynamics cables? www.virtualdynamics.ca | |
| Quiet fan to cool amp and preamp? There's a fan in my integrated amp that is VERY quiet... I have to put my ear 3" away from it to hear it running. The fan itself is an "NMB" model # 4715MS-RT-B10. | |
| Best Amp for under 10K? Try out the Rogue Magnum M120 Monoblocs. I'm sure you will be quite impressed after auditioning them. And at $3495, you'll have more money to put in your front end. | |
| Virtual Dynamics Interconnects. Any experience? I own the Audition IC's and the Reference speaker cables and Audition PC's. The Audition PC's took a REALLY long time to burn in. They were in a MOBIE burn in device for over 2 weeks. Like everybody else said, these cables are just wonderful. Inte... |
