| Magnepan 1.6 vs. B&W 805N I think you will be fine with the Classe. I imagine it puts out plenty of current which is what Maggies will want. | |
| If I like St. Germain I'll like...... A great way to explore new artists is to simply create a St. Germain Pandora channel. Just leave it on for a while and bookmark the artist when you hear a song that you like so you can later research their albums. You might also like Cantoma, Afte... | |
| Setting Sub Crossover Freq I second the use of REQ Wizard. My Maggies are rated to about 45HZ, but the in room response according to the room EQ wizard is 65hz. I was running my sub crossed over at 45 and I felt like I had a gap in the low end, this is was prior to running ... | |
| modest DAC for iMAC+iTunes? I own the Musical Fidelity VDAC and am very happy with it, no desire to "upgrade". Can be had used around $200. You may also want to check into the new Jolida DAC, only runs a little over $100. Budget DACs have become very good over the last few y... | |
| Any one else like the class D ICE power amps? I will agree that the Wyred amps are the best value in the class D arena. I have had the SX500 monos in my system now for a few weeks and the improvement is night and day over my old class a/b amp. They are extremely quiet, system had a hum with m... | |
| Tubed Pre to mate with W4S monos 1K budget Thanks all for the suggestions! I have also stumbled across the VAC Auricle preamp, that seems to have all the features that I need. Very little info on the web and forums though, not sure if it was very propular in its day. | |
| Tubed Pre to mate with W4S monos 1K budget Thanks David, I may go that route if I see one come up. I am running Magnepan 1.6qr, not too efficient so the gain should be OK. I also stumbled across a Modwright 9.0SE that looks like it might fit the bill. | |
| Tubed Pre to mate with W4S monos 1K budget I will look into VTL, that is one I did not realize was in my range. The Rogue is also on my short list, probably the 66 though as the 99 will not fit in my cabinet. I have also checked out the Consonance Cyber preamp, looks interesting but few re... | |
| Tubed Pre to mate with W4S monos 1K budget That would be smart:) I would not say have ruled anything out yet, here is a rundown of what I have looked into: CJ, BAT, Rouge, Audio Research, Primaluna, Jolida, Cayin, AES, Cary, Anthem, Dared. I am sure I am forgetting a few but those seem to ... | |
| Quick poll: Listening at night, lights ON or OFF ? I almost always have some lights on. | |
| Any "lifestyle" speakers actually good for music? I might also check out Orb Audio speakers, 5 of those and a sub or two would probably do the trick. | |
| Trying Magnepans, need advice I would give the maggies a shot, probably the MMG's. They are great speakers, even if they are not set up perfectly they are still going to sound great. Only you can decide if they sound good in your room, if you really like them and you think the... | |
| Magnepan Crossovers: Who makes them? www.skiingninja.com/Magnepan-1-6-Ninja-Noble-p/mag16nn.htmThat is one of the pre-made solutions that I have seen get some favorable reviews, it is a bit pricey though. | |
| Anyone else familiar with Tommy Guerrero? He has some really good tracks, I would say they definitely fall into the category of Downtempo. Junodownload.com has a few of his albums as WAV downloads. | |
| The National...losless downloads? They are primarily a dj oriented site, they do have a good selection of many less mainstream artists as well. |
