| are magnepan mmg any good and intergrated amp suggestion for them Decent speaker. As stated they do need some room around them and they are power hungry. Need LOTS of damping factor or the panels flop around and are unruly. For example, an older Hafler 120 or 220 will stay with them. | |
| Any opinions on a possible switch from Von Schweikert VR-1 to Spendor SA1 speakers? I like older Spendors; BC-1, LS3/5A. However, the SA-1 is tough. For that size the smallest Harbeth is far more engaging and musical. Give them a listen. | |
| Speaker Cable connection: Jumpers This discussion always perplexes me a bit. Why jumpers? In most cases one can simply run a single cable bridge between the woofer/tweeter +/- terminals or use shotgun. These jumpers are oft expensive and add yet another layer. I like simple. | |
| Simple question, best sounding inexpensive DAC. Micromega MyDac is cheap and very good. | |
| I am sick of Adele Adele who? No really, must be some pop singer. Who cares. Is she part of the dumbing down of music? Move along. I"ll listen to my now dead artists. | |
| Can you help me identify this pair of interconnect Don't know them, but if you like them does it really matter. Happy listening. | |
| Need Tube Preamp Warmth VTL or Manley Jumbo Shrimp. | |
| New CD player, Transport or DAC? Time to load up. I'm convinced that a sizable investment in a CD transport is now futile. A music server should be your course as it will outperform a transport. It also provides the convenience of having your library on you iPAD. Good luck. | |
| Admittedly a bit lost Merlin monitors on non-spiked massed 24" stands. The lack of spikes will deter vibration through the sub-flooring. Efficient enough for Jolida 40 wpc with great low volume resolution, the speaker will respond linearly with future upgrades. | |
| Reasonably priced power protection? No experience with Brickwall, but loads with Furman and it seems to do the job with my Naim Uniti, DAC and Manley gear. | |
| Suggest budget CDP to use as transport CEC is quite good and speaks to anyone suspect of transports not making a difference in reproduction. They do. | |
| CD player problems With respect to Akg, at the price if the very good Rega Isis, I would simply do a music server such as the Naim Uniti. Have you considered the Rega Saturn as a transport? It is quite good. | |
| How weird is our world? Thanks for responses. Experimented and it seems sound is better with arrow towards innards of amp. Facing out back seemed congested. | |
| Do you Bi-Wire, if you can? Mostly do not believe in the whole bi-wire syndrome unless the speaker has been specifically designed for it. And I circumvent jumpers by simply using a single wire bridging the same plus/minus termination if possible.I've even done surgery on som... | |
| Battery power for Trends 10.1 Zd542. I think that just might do the trick. Thanks |
