| Power cord feeding a power conditioner/regenerator Hi, I would suggest you get the Shunyata adapter plugs. They are retailing at around $100/pc (tight/firm grip, and of highest audiophile quality). Available both ways (two versions), the 15>20A conversion, and 20>15A ones.I had similar probl... | |
| Wilson Sophia III vs Sasha Ricred,Re my initial suggestion to getting speaker first is none other than that from previous experiences, different speakers usually do require different treatments--optimally.If modular units--still ok, you might just need to add, subtract, or ... | |
| Wilson Sophia III vs Sasha Ricred,Just took a re-look at your system page. Your room (new?) looks kind of bare. Which in this case, yes--basic first, the many suggestions to doing room treatment first would seem to be most logical/justifiable. Only after that's been properl... | |
| Wilson Sophia III vs Sasha Ricred,If you could stretch your budget a little, I would recommend to getting the Sasha (anchor first) then build system/room around it.Earier this year, my brother was staged to buying the Sophia3/REF110. It was practically a two months back-for... | |
| What amp for Q5's? Spectral, Solution, Gryphon FWIW, IME, the new ARC REF series amps sound better through their 8 Ohm taps--yielding a richer fuller more relaxed sound--better bass too. Whereas through 4, although sounding a tad more linear, it could at the same time sound a little thin and m... | |
| What amp for Q5's? Spectral, Solution, Gryphon What pre-amp?Qs would certainly benefit from some sort of soul infusion..Assuming amp/pre from same manufacturer, the VAC 450 and probably Vitus should you choose to go SS.Would consider Soulution, Gryphon, Boulder only with good tubed pre frontin... | |
| Magico V3 Wise move Teeshot. As I recall, used V3s started listing here for $19-20k--earlier this year. At current rate Magico is churning out new, V3 and its brethren should be under 10k pretty soon. Maybe Q3 for $25-30k.. Already saw a lightly used Q5s li... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Congrats!! Waiting for the invite..Post system in virtual listing when ready.What a way to end the year.. Enjoy! ;) | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Ojdeteos,Must be new policy that Sunray purchases now inclusive LPX unit? If so, I think they will throw in the LPX too for brand new Sunray purchases from 'anywhere'--to be fair--I believe Tidal guys are. It was a separate option when I inquired ... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Hi Ojdeteos,Yes, its a little obscure how the reviewer puts it ;) but my understanding is.."Tidal is unusual in that it manufactures electronics as well as speakers. Perhaps for this reason, the Sunray can be configured a number of ways, including... | |
| Martin Logan prodigy Bought mine when it first came out ('02) ar $8,5k new. Sold them 1,5yrs later ('04) for $5k. I think $6,5k is too much for such an old model (especially stats).Mine already had the glowing blue ML logo then--so I believe it was meant to be there a... | |
| audio research REF 150 Has anyone compared the REF150 to REF250?In my brother's set-up driving the Sasha with full ARC (CD8, REF5), the REF150 sounded great. Buying the whole system at one go during the 110>150 transitional period, the local importer agreed to first ... | |
| Magico V3 Mini2 is the better speaker for smaller to medium sized rooms (I'd say of up to 35m2). V3 is no slouch either, however you do trade a little intimacy and immediacy for slightly better bottom end drive and foundation. Both are great buy at current ... | |
| Magico Room at RAMF How good did it sound Usermanual,I did.Guess for speakers I much prefer the more conventional (simple/plain/bland?) but nice and meticulously executed designs for now. One that's more classic and timeless looking. I adore beautiful natural wood finishing, but of which ... | |
| Magico Room at RAMF How good did it sound Usermanual, after the Minis, next on line for Magico, I do like the look of their bigger Qs. Just that to me, this all-black stealth design doesn't work as well implemented onto the tiny Q1.Long ago, from Mini2s I did contemplate trading up to M5,... |
