| Help with hiss @2psyop, Yep. Similar experience. For the year I had the upgrade, it was there longer than it was at my place. Straight answers were hard to come by but excuses and non-answers were easy to come by. I hope this isn’t the same for OP. I chalked it ... | |
| Help with hiss I have an Odyssey Audio Stratos. For 20 yrs it was dead quiet. In 2021, I sent it to Odyssey for a Kismit upgrade. It came back with a hiss in the speakers and transformer hum. I sent it back (almost $300 in shipping by now). They said that they r... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! Mesch, congrats on the new LRS +! They’ll sound even better after some period of break-in. | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! RE: Magnepan’s amp recommendations The good folks at Magnepan, God bless’em, need to listen to some good modern class D amps with their speakers and then update that FAQ on amps. Then there is this quote from that FAQ “WE DON’T KNOW. It is too m... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! Arafiq, I’m no expert but I used to have a 250 watt amp that doubled at 4 and never felt like I needed more to drive the 1.6 and 1.7i. My room is slightly smaller than yours and I don’t listen at loud volumes. I did upgrade from that amp to more ... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! "Also, Maggies really perform best with high current, linear-power-supply class AB amplifiers. Unfortunately, most class D amps, regardless of power/watts spec, do not possess the current capability necessary to “wake” them up." I must disagree w... | |
| Thanks to Paul McGowan I went from Odyssey Kismet stereo amp to PS audio M700s. It felt like for the first time I was really hearing what my Magnepan 1.7i could really do. Wish I could afford the 1200s but Im very happy with Pauls M700s. I don’t know Mr. McGowan but I’v... | |
| I noticed brightness/harshness more than usual from my system a couple months back. Baring some sort of equipment failure, have you tried repositioning your speakers. Try pulling them further from the wall. Maybe play with toe in a bit. Just a thought after seeing your system photos. | |
| Spending a month's salary Don’t underestimate the Parasound gear. Especially the P6. Acoustical room treatments are my/your best audio friend. A better DAC would perhaps help balance out your current system. | |
| Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align “Liberty” - Anette Askvik “Antiphone Blues” - Arne Domneros/Gustav Sjokvist ”We Never Win” - Nathaniel Rateliff “When You’re Here - Nathaniel Rateliff “S.O.B” - Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats And these 3 by Natalie Merchant: “The ... | |
| Low level listening Magnepan 1.7i coupled with PS audio M700 monos is a match made in heaven for low level listening. I never feel the need to “crank it up”. I get plenty of detail and impact even at low level. I also have 2 subs in the system that contribute. Some r... | |
| Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time I don't much care for radio bound pop country nor country in general but I do love me some good old fashioned blue grass. If you haven’t heard “Will the Circle be Unbroken” by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, do yourself a favor and have a listen. I’m... | |
| Occasional Sound Imbalance Issue For a long time I had similar balance issues. I chalked it up to room acoustics or just pressure in my ears or whatever. Imaging (especially center image) was always slightly off and subtle but hella annoying. So one day I contacted the manufactur... | |
| Heist/ crime songs “Joliet Bound”- Rory Block. Great Artist! Check her out. | |
| Need help. I need recomendations for amp, or amp/preamp Here ya go! If you just need an amp, these sound great and you should never have to worry about not having enough power. https://tmraudio.com/components/power-amplifiers/ps-audio-stellar-m700-mono-power-amplifier-black-pair-m-700-used-3/ Noti... |
