| Magnapan MMG I've not raised them off the floor, not sure they'd need that, although a very rigid and massive stand to clamp them to would be terrific, I'm sure..............I have replaced the fuse with a coiled up silver wire, and the other tweeter bar with ... | |
| BEST PHONO STAGE FOR UNDER OR OVER 1GRAN David, I have it on good authority (everyone that's heard and compared the thing, including the designer Mike Yee) that the Phonomena (WITHOUT the battery power supply) is 98% of the performance of an Audio Research PH-3 phono stage, which is a HI... | |
| Magnapan MMG I bought mine four years ago, and had them in less than a week. (I've since bought and sold several more expensive speakers)............Well, if you have a wimpy amp, they won't go very loud. I use mine in a small room with correct ASC and RPG aco... | |
| MY Sidewinder AC cord progress: So far, it's a keeper, yes. I bought it, and have had it six months. | |
| CD Changers You could use the toslink or coaxial digital output, and use the changer as a transport for a better expternal DAC. If you don't want to do that, the Harmon Kardon and Denon CD changers look decent to me, but I've not heard them. A DVD changer wou... | |
| Guilty pleasure music? JAGUAR, Diana Krall and Patricia Barber aren't a guilty pleasure, but poorly recorded and dynamically compressed/limited rock music can be. We all like minimalist recorded jazz and classical on here, and don't consider them a guilty pleasure. | |
| Does silver speaker wire sound bright? And it won't be, with just a 15 gauge speaker cable. Going from 10 gauge to 13 gauge makes a huge difference, so going from 13 to 15 would be noticeable also. The higher series DC resistance of a smaller cable will always have this effect, unless ... | |
| Talon Audio And thanks Dolphin, for those tidbits of info. | |
| Talon Audio I've not seen or heard these Talon models, and don't want to pre-suppose anything about them, or even the people posting in this thread. However, I will say that a whole is NEVER greater than the sum of its parts. I'm a speaker hobbyist myself, an... | |
| MY Sidewinder AC cord progress: Romies, I'm glad you heard improvements after your experiment! I've got a Synergistic Reference Coupler on the way to try next, and hope to also try the Shunyata Cobra, and an ESP Essence........I've never had so much fun evaluating cables before,... | |
| Does silver speaker wire sound bright? I didn't realize you had bi-wire connections. Yes, by all means, try doing that. | |
| Talon Audio What'd be really cool is if I could get my question answered, since I don't think much of "magic shows". "Just the facts, Ma'am"....... | |
| MY Sidewinder AC cord progress: Forgive me for being so long winded lately, but all I'm really doing is quoting my notes.................This will be my impressions of the BLACK MAMBA power cord on CD player, and TIFFANY T-60 power cord on power amp................................. | |
| Talon Audio I would like to know what drivers and crossover topology these Talon speakers use, if you don't mind. I seem to recall checking their website out, and it was deliberately vague. And don't tell me the details don't matter, because details always ma... | |
| BEST PHONO STAGE FOR UNDER OR OVER 1GRAN Have you compared it to the Phonomena with battery power supply, David? |
