| Magnepan MG20 tweaks ? Thanks Lolo78. I worked pretty hard on my system and it lead there! Magnepans as with most planar speakers hate lots of connections in the signal path. So if you can try to wire things as direct as is possible. For instance on your external xover ... | |
| Magnepan MG20 tweaks ? By pass the fuse over the tweeter if you have never had problems blowing them in the past. Upgrade the xover Caps with some nice Mundorf silver in oil or gold in oil if you can afford them. Then upgrade the inductors. Try Alpha core copper foil ty... | |
| Audio Magic and other Power Line Conditioners You dont seem to be using that much power (100w SS amp). I doubt these dynamic problems are about current delivery. You dont mention what types of cables you use or speakers. Remember if a conditioner is cleaning up your system it could be tidying... | |
| Attn: Speaker DIY expert The above answers are all good. The nicely priced sonic caps are great especially when bypassed with mundorf Caps (silver in oil are good, but the gold ones are amazing if you can afford them). On their own the sonic caps can have a slightly plast... | |
| Magnepan 3a's with two bridged krell 1000wpc 8ohms I would say the Bel cantos are perfect for them. 1000 clean watts. I had 3.6rs never blew a fuse. Just made them rattle a few times | |
| If money is not a problem You all seem to have forgotten the unlimited funds. You would own it all. A different room for horns another for electrostats etc etc.I have seen the guy in Japan who used the basement as his sub. He has a man hatch in the room to go down to inspe... | |
| Magnepan 3a's with two bridged krell 1000wpc 8ohms It will work fine. I would say to be a little careful as you may start to pop the fuses in the Maggie if you push too far.I found with the older Magnepans that more power usually meant more volume before the bass panel started to rattle and hit th... | |
| dcs puccini, chord red ref, meitner cdsa or nagra Sorry guys,the point I was trying to make was whether it is a SACD player or not is not important. If you do go for an SACD player (I understand this thread is about a good single box for redbook playback) the bonus is that if you play redbook on ... | |
| dcs puccini, chord red ref, meitner cdsa or nagra Max2man/Teddybear,you mention redbook playback. The Emm lab and DCS give you the choice of playing either SACD or redbook disks. The bonus i guess being they upsample rebook to dsd.Why do you find redbook playback bad on the Emm lab Teddybear? | |
| dcs puccini, chord red ref, meitner cdsa or nagra Hi Dave,Maybe the pictures i have seen of the Playback design have been unfortunate. The display looks cheap which is a bad start.The Chord equipment sure has a look and probably the cd player suffers the worst with the cd lid placed like that. Th... | |
| dcs puccini, chord red ref, meitner cdsa or nagra Metronome make some great sounding players. The T2i signatrure is good. The Spectral SDR4000 may be good, I havent heard it, but it is the ugliest player in the world closely followed by the Playback design.No matter how good the Metronome is and ... | |
| dcs puccini, chord red ref, meitner cdsa or nagra Dazzdax,I couldnt say whether a top of top of the line vinyl playback or the Scarlatti is better. The Scarlatti is stunning and I doubt any analogue system has the dynamic range or noise floor of the DCS. The usual complaints people have towards d... | |
| dcs puccini, chord red ref, meitner cdsa or nagra I would agree with Kops,the DCS guys really do know how to dig out resolution. I believe they are the only CD player manufacturers that use a chip right at the laser output to look at the information before it is sent to the DAC section.If you fee... | |
| dcs puccini, chord red ref, meitner cdsa or nagra Nice system. I like the MBL amps.If you cant go a little further up the DCS line, I would try the Emm labs first. Dont get me wrong, the DCS is an amazing player and has volume control (you could sell your preamp), but their single box version whi... | |
| dcs puccini, chord red ref, meitner cdsa or nagra Emm labs sounded great. The nagra sounds ok, but I find it a little toy like to use. It has silly button configuration for play and stop. I dont know the chord. I have the model up from the Puccini. Very detailed player.What are you planning to us... |
