Which Stands for Magnepan LRS (and other models): Mye, Magnariser, Sound Anchor, etc
I don't own Maggies but if I did I would would either have them "gunned" or get Magna Risers. Rob recently made me a set of risers for my Acoustat Model 2s. It took a little while for the work to be completed due to it being a custom job he took o... 
Sound Labs Wins!
I was pretty disappointed in that room, and the show in general. Lucky for me I live in the area and didn't have to invest much to attend. 
The best place to listen to music??
@mijostyn, I just noticed the speakers were Line Magnetic as well. For some reason that escaped me on my previous visits. I wish they would have had the Devore speakers playing on one of my visits but they weren’t hooked up yet. Maybe next time.Th... 
The best place to listen to music??
If you are in the Bay Area check out Bar Shiru in Oakland which borrowed the concept, but not the owners attitude. https://www.barshiru.com/Horn speakers, as well as a set of Devore. Mostly Line Magnetic electronics, but some Parasound (they are l... 
TRL WON'T GIVE ME MY AMP
Well to add to the intrigue it appears that the website I referenced earlier is currently down for maintenance:http://tuberesearchlab.com/ 
TRL WON'T GIVE ME MY AMP
I was a TRL owner in the past when it was just Paul and his brother Brian working together. I had modifications done to digital gear and owned both a solid state preamp and amplifier. Paul was one of the good guys in audio throughout his time and ... 
Tube amp forethought
Roger Modjeski used the QUAD as his load when designing that amp. We still use a Quad 57 in the shop today when we test amps we build or repair. If the 57s in question have the Zener clamp boards (an upgrade as they were not supplied at the factor... 
Music Reference RM-200
We don't brand the Gold Lion KT-88s so those could have possibly come from us. We brand the Chinese KT-88s. I'm pretty sure our 6BQ7s are Sylvania but we brand them as well.One way to determine how well balanced the output tubes are is to take a v... 
Aqua hifi La Voce s3.....anyone audition it yet?
@grannyring, is the Aqua S2/S3 capacitor coupled on the output. I am interested in this DAC but in general I am looking for a DAC with direct coupled outputs. 
Music Reference RM-200
I've used an Atma-Sphere MP-3 with the RM-200. Both units are fully differential from input to output which is an added benefit. I really don't know of another preamp that is fully balanced like the MP-3 but others might have recommendations there... 
Searching for matching(?) Subwoofer solution
Well there is the display factor to consider with risers, but I always picture someone tripping over the elevated wire, yanking the connections from components or speakers, or worse yet dragging a component off the rack or a speaker off a stand. 
Music Reference RM-200
The original can be sent in and brought up to Mk.2 status in every way except for the capacitor forming capability.No it can't. I was never aware of the upgrade, Roger never speaks of it these days, and if they were done in the past they aren't go... 
Searching for matching(?) Subwoofer solution
I don't run equal lengths of cables to any of my woofers. Instead I cut to the length required for each woofer. I also don't worry about stepping on the cables while they are under the carpet. Do your own testing with cable risers, etc. I don't fi... 
Searching for matching(?) Subwoofer solution
I use 16 AWG zip cord for my cables. I run them along the walls and under the carpet (8 x 10 Persian rug) to keep them out of the way. Works just fine for me. 
ESL57 vs ESL63
@bdp24, interesting I didn't know that about the 57s. I will look into the Rhythmik subs.
