| Best Christmas music, CD or album on your list ? Sorry but as someone who works in New York City, should we limit this discussion to "holiday" music, please?psJust kidding. We prefer Christmas music a bit earlier (say, Thanksgiving) through New Years Eve. Here are a few new ones from this year's... | |
| What is best sub to match with Magnepan? Brownsfan and others,If you enjoy subs with your Magnepans, that's great and I wish you happiness with your system. And I agree with the observation that yes, you would want them to be as unintrusive as possible or as Brownsfan puts it to not try ... | |
| What is best sub to match with Magnepan? Among many other speakers through the years including ATCs, Epos, Apogees and Martin Logans, I have owned and enjoyed Magneplanars since I was a junior high school student in the late '70's - from MG-Is to Tympani IVs which I still have today.Pers... | |
| Crown D-75a as Monoblocks - Polarity Question? Al,Thank you so much and good to hear from you. I managed to get through to a tech at Crown yesterday, where his advice was also beyond the scope of my technical background.But to paraphrase, he said that a bridged amp addressed the waveform a bit... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 as EQ Only? Arj,DEQ2496 not DEQX....but generally (and as a neurotic audiophile since the late '70s who still owns ARC and Levinson components, amoung others...) I have had good experiences with Behringer.I use it more casually for desktop, computer and telev... | |
| Crown D-75a as Monoblocks - Polarity Question? Since posting, I did a bit of Googling and had a memory of liner notes on the original Dave Grusin Discovered Again LP which led me to experiment last night by reversing the polarity on BOTH speakers.This seems to have improved the situation signi... | |
| Rivaling or Beyond the ESL 57 for Magical Midrange Saki70Yes, but in 2013 Yahoo and Google are also less reliable.Too many suits now see the internet only as something to milk for money, rather than a community or educational resource.Having posted here for > 10 years, I have also become increa... | |
| Levinson 27.5 I bought a 23.5 about 10 years ago following an "off the record" recommendation from a source close to Magnepan, who said it was the best amp they heard with Tympanis, ever.It's still going strong and I would agree it is one of the all time greats... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 as EQ Only? Thanks for reading but problem solved!I am using not only a PC but also a Mac and the Zodiac was set to the USB input (Mac) not the Optical input (PC and HDTV) so did not at first realize I was listening to music from the other computer and bypass... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 as EQ Only? At last, I am closing in on this project as depicted in my new system photos.I have just rewired the Behringer as discussed above with Elizabeth: still HDTV / Cablebox and PC into a Digital Optical splitter.Therefore Digital Optical out into the D... | |
| Rivaling or Beyond the ESL 57 for Magical Midrange Bombaywalla,Have never heard GMA but have read the reviews which suggests they might be a good choice for me - thanks.Frogman, I still have the 23.5 which you might see in my photos if you look to the right of the bookcase. A great classic amp tha... | |
| Rivaling or Beyond the ESL 57 for Magical Midrange Dhcod,Yes, not easy hence the reason for this thread!I have always thought not only "speed" and transparency, but perhaps coherency is a key ingredient for the uncanny, holy grail like sound of 57's and certain other classics.Can't imagine they wo... | |
| Rivaling or Beyond the ESL 57 for Magical Midrange New pictures of system as discussed! | |
| Rivaling or Beyond the ESL 57 for Magical Midrange Frogman,Doesn't necessarily have to be ON the desktop - but that seems to be best. Will try to post some photos later.And oh yes another midrange classic - the Met 7's. In fact, years ago, I recommended them for my parents who still have a pair - ... | |
| Rivaling or Beyond the ESL 57 for Magical Midrange Frogman,Good point - and in fact I can almost imagine a pair of 57's on my desktop. But as you point out, not easy to find, not the best looking devices, big and as magical as they may be, I think overpriced when one can find them.Hence, the searc... |
