| The Magnificent Magnepan 30.7 speakers....wait, I don’t like planars! I think the best way for anybody to truly know whether any speaker is a contender for their own home system, is to take a pair home for an audition. This isn’t that easy with a speaker the size of the 30.7’s. However, compared to a lot of other SO... | |
| Repair Linn turntable vs buying a different one @casaross +1000What you heard with the bass response would most likely be attributed to the different tonearms, the Triplanar is a bass champ, the Ekos SE...not so much. | |
| Is it ok to not gush over Vanessa Fernadez?...one listener's perspective. I have just finished playing the Vanessa Fernandez LP..When the Levee breaks. The covers are well played, but there is something missing. That something is the complete urgency and guttural scream that RP brings to these pieces, Instead, we have V... | |
| Repair Linn turntable vs buying a different one With $7K spent on your L12, I would expect that you are including the Radikal Power supply and the Keel subchassis. If not, then you are paying for something that you are not getting. However, once you have upgraded to a low level Klimax model, IM... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri with SET amplifier -possible? Right now, I am driving GH's with a 45watt/ch Jadis JA 30mk2. No problem whatsoever. How much power are you going to be getting from the 300BSE amp? I have come to the conclusion that although the G's do need some power, what is more important is ... | |
| TIGER PAW "Tranquility" (Magnetic Bearing Repulsion...) Any Good? @mre28m5 Wow, you have some really sh---t dealers in your area!Wouldn't work on your table because you replaced your mat...what a prima donna! Like I said above, I will be watching the various Tranq users and their posts over time, I sure would ... | |
| TIGER PAW "Tranquility" (Magnetic Bearing Repulsion...) Any Good? @varyat That’s good. Unfortunately a few of the other users have reported problems with this issue after some amount of use. I would question whether the magnetic field lessens over time ( if this is possible??), resulting in some slight slippage?... | |
| Two small RELs or One Larger Sub Probably a better way to go...BUT it is a lot more difficult to set up the blend and x-over with two subs vs one. | |
| TIGER PAW "Tranquility" (Magnetic Bearing Repulsion...) Any Good? @varyat Thanks. Does the Radikal D recognize the speed in the same amount of time as before the mod? | |
| The Magnificent Magnepan 30.7 speakers....wait, I don’t like planars! @effer,If you get a chance to hear the 30.7’s, I think you will be very impressed...I was..and I don’t even generally like planars!Only problem is that you will probably be looking to sell your Tympani IVa’s, LOL. Your idea about matching Pass Lab... | |
| TIGER PAW "Tranquility" (Magnetic Bearing Repulsion...) Any Good? Anybody here using a Radikal D power supply with the Tranquility?@mre28m5-- Why did you skip the Cirkus bearing mod? This mod is IMO a real game changer...gives you a lot of what you described in your post above. I’m still on the fence about the T... | |
| TIGER PAW "Tranquility" (Magnetic Bearing Repulsion...) Any Good? If I remember correctly, the bottom disc of the Tranquility is attached to the top of the bearing and the upper disc mounts to the underside of the sub platter. This enables the sub platter to essentially float off the bearing. However, I can cert... | |
| TIGER PAW "Tranquility" (Magnetic Bearing Repulsion...) Any Good? I too have been following the various opinions of this mod. While most are overwhelmingly favorable, ( some are even huge raves), there appear to be ( as usual) a few naysayers. The naysayers seem to overwhelmingly state that the issue is that the... | |
| The Magnificent Magnepan 30.7 speakers....wait, I don’t like planars! If I remember correctly, Wendell told me that the photo in the 30.7 ads showing the long haired listener was actually taken at one of their dealer events. The room was apparently 15' wide at this event...and would seem to show this in the ad. | |
| Systems with two separate amplifiers: tube & SS I also swap from ss to tube. I simply swap ic's from one amp to the other..and keep a separate run of speaker cable from each amp. Best of both worlds IME. |
