| $50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please. You might consider a financial planner as being more of a priority than your next 80k luxury item. I mean, to pay off family debt you get a fraction of your systems value, and a year later drop 80k on a luxury item. That math does not add up. W... | |
| Omega speakers -- mostly sold out, all the time? @oddiofyl In your smaller room I have to believe the Omegas will perform very well indeed. I use mine in a second system where the room is much larger and is open to the upper level of our home and with a 4wpc SET they generate wonderful rich so... | |
| Review on AricAudio Motherlode MKII preamplifier Nice review Teajay. Was good to see you still have the Tektons in your stable. They do let upstream changes manifest themselves, don’t they? A number of reviewers change their "references" so often it makes one wonder. Glad you have not fallen int... | |
| Omega speakers -- mostly sold out, all the time? @oddiofyl I think you will be pleased. Be patient. Delivery will probably be later than promised. Explore different veneer options. Louis can do virtually anything you want. He likes to try veneers out of the ordinary. I love my monitors i... | |
| There's No Question @benmeadows My pathway to the DI’s was similar to yours. I transitioned from the Magnepan 1.7’s. I enjoyed that speaker very much. A classic. It did many but not all things well. Unlike you I did not have any issues placing mine. Roughly used th... | |
| Fritz Speakers The drivers used in Fritz speakers are high quality and relatively expensive. Then factor in the cost of a real wood veneers on the cabinets, assembly time. Well, the cost is not at all out of line. The manufacturers you need to question are o... | |
| Omega speakers -- mostly sold out, all the time? @hilde45 I called Louis over a year ago. Long story short, he custom made me a pair of Super 7 MkII's in Padauk veneer to match my Erhard Ray SET. It took several months. I regret sending Louis a grumpy email on the delay. After the speake... | |
| Warmer class D amps for magnepan? Unfortunate integrated amps are not on your radar. The Marantz KI Ruby would fit the bill perfectly. | |
| Wattgate Connector Measurements Eric, this is EXACTLY the point I was trying to make. The point of maximum contact on the Wattgates is all wrong. Blows me away that this stuff makes it to market. I do not have a degree in engineering--but I could have designed a plug far supe... | |
| My Luxman Integrated has AC Inlet Envy Eric, re-read my post. You're not the only one to notice this. Your bigger problem is the poorly designed Wattgate. If you are afraid to change the IEC on the amp(which may NOT fix the problem) , just try a better plug such as the one I listed. | |
| Forced to DIY Can't imagine wasting money on a plumber when so many fixes are very basic things and quite easy. Most of my Audio DIY are cable related as I like neat custom length installs on my systems. But I have opened up electronics and done multiple repa... | |
| My Luxman Integrated has AC Inlet Envy My Marantz Ruby has no ground on the IEC C-14 like yours. I have quit using Wattgates as their IEC plugs have a bad design as you have found out. Try these instead--much better pin geometry: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08332R442/ref=ppx_y... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Linda Ronstadt, "What's New" Beautiful recording. | |
| Noise inside speaker cabinet when moving ? @judsauce The VR-1's you had were probably Chinese counterfeits. Had that same speaker for a couple of days with the same problem and the sorted out they were counterfeits. Back they went to the seller. | |
| Amazing Classical Guitarist I have listened to this piece many times. But watching it being played so beautifully is so awesome. No, not the generic awesome, but the Webster definition. I have so much respect for musicians. What a gift. Thanks for posting. I will pick ... |
