| Audio Magic Stealth XXX Purifier Hi Kbuzz,I can help you out there. I had oyaide sockets installed on mine and they add more body to the sound and seem to add more detail and purer highs with more space between the instruments.As to nice cables, the more you do, the more rewardin... | |
| Which amp to Bi-amp my Maggie 20.1 Mapman,I have to say that all planar users should spend some time with ICE power amps regardless of budget. They are a marriage made in heaven for full range planar speakers. Some ICE amps are better than others or suited to a certain balance of s... | |
| Which amp to Bi-amp my Maggie 20.1 I would be surprised if you got clipping from those kind of powerful amps with the maggie. Unless you are really punishing the maggies with very high SPLs and popping fuses all the time. I would have thought the bass panel would start rattling as ... | |
| Any thoughts in ICE amps? Hi Paulfolbrecht,you are right of course, and this is why there are so many manufacturers all believing they make the best set of compromise in their design. It makes it very confusing for people searching for the best hifi combination and probabl... | |
| Any thoughts in ICE amps? The Bel canto e1 is one of the best amps I have heard. They will drive any speaker, they are small, powerful and utterly transparent. I had the Jeff Rowland Ice power monos too, but felt the Bel canto was a wider, fuller/richer sounding amp.These ... | |
| Audio Magic Stealth XXX Purifier Jerry has been very helpful. I asked him if he would build me a stealth xxx with Oyaide sockets and furutech input. He made me a beautiful unit which is refined and helps bring my system up to its potential.Awesome and much better than the Hydra i... | |
| Audio Magic Stealth XXX Purifier I have had the same experience. Do you have the latest version with silver front and blue LED? | |
| Anyone use a DCS Delius or Elgar without the upsam I have had both players. Yes you can use the Aero as a transport for the DCS. Prepare yourself for better defined highs and lower noise floor and a different presentation. | |
| Stealth Audio Dream Petite Hi John,I like the idea of shot gun cables. What you really could call excess!Coming back to the VD cable, for sure they dont have 3D soundstage. Although extremely solid imaging. It seems to show every strike of a drum with amazing clarity. | |
| Stealth Audio Dream Petite Hi John,I felt I should report back some findings. Though it is still early days burning in wise. Sorry to mess up this thread but...The VD LE compared to my Analysis Golden oval is definitely more dynamic and robust in the bass. In fact the bass ... | |
| Stealth Audio Dream Petite wow snapped off! It seems that it takes a lot of care to work with these cables. I used a VD digital XLR cable between my old ML31.5/30.6 and it lifted the transport up at the back! The Levinson is not light. | |
| Stealth Audio Dream Petite Hi John,my VD cables are still new and had no real hours on them. So I will wait to see how it balances out.Regarding soundstage I have found the same as you. I am not using VD powercords as they cannot fit in the tight area that houses my power c... | |
| Stealth Audio Dream Petite John,thanks so much for your very clear response. I know exactly what you mean. In my system I am finding the slightly forward presentation more useful. Due to my slightly insensitive planar speakers, I find that a slight injection of impact is re... | |
| Stealth Audio Dream Petite Hi,I was wondering your thoughts on the VD. What I like most about them is their speed and dynamic contrast. I find they have a very low noise floor too allowing details through with good soundstaging.I have had major problems fitting them though,... | |
| DCS P8i direct to pwr amps sound quality. Hi,I am A dcs user and have used many of their cd players including the P8i. I also had the audio aero capitole SE for a couple of years too.They are quite different sounding players. The P8i is very clean and up front, very incisive in the highs.... |
