| Magnepan 30.7’s Wonder when the first units will actually ship to customers.They have been trying to get enough orders to build and ship, for the last 8 months. | |
| Power regenerators I used and liked a PurePower 1050 AC Regenerator for several years.Did not like that it had to warm up for 45 minutes to get the full effect even if left on 24/7.Regenerators do have an amplifier inside.Switched to a Chang LightSpeed line filter a... | |
| BaerWald vs VPI setup protractors I have tried many alignment jigs but after long term listening always go back to the VPI.IMO....YMMV. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? No low Rez streaming ever!Tidal CD quality is fine. | |
| Opinions Please - Which Turntable Rack is Better I use the VPI turntable stand, maple top plate etc., with my TNT with great results.The Timber nation is a down grade IMO!Sell the lesser VPI turntable. Why have two?? | |
| Sorry redundant Best DAC under 600. Schiit Multibit Bifrost is the only choice!$599 | |
| I like Steve Guttenberg. He is a 70's type guy and a haircut to match.I would not trust a bald or crewcut sort of guy on audio opinion! | |
| Full-Range to Monitors I have never heard a system that was digitally EQ'd that did not sound unnatural.If you find low bass room effects hard to deal with do not use subwoofers.Reproducing lower than 30 Hz will just lead to frustration in all but the biggest rooms.The ... | |
| Speaker Cable Upgrade... Advice Please Golden Cross is a nice step up.I have used many Cardas speakers cables, and found Golden Cross the best.Mates well with Audio Research amps. Smooth highs (never bright), warm midrange, and deep bass. | |
| My first visit to AXPONA Most all "uber" expensive audio systems at shows, never held up to my $50K system at home.These systems are sold to very rich, delusional, people that want "snob appeal" to their friends.I quit going to shows the last few years. | |
| Schiit not that Good? Shows are worth very little for judging playback quality of one component in a demo system! And what that component will sound like in your own system!There are hundreds of user reviews on the web that love Shiit D/A converters. | |
| Are there any Delphi Oracle Users Who Can Comment I owned a Delphi MKIII with SME IV arm for years back in the 80's early 90's.Smooth midrange was the only plus.Soft bass and poor match with most cartridges.Went to a VPI TNT III with JMW-10 and never looked back, which ran all over the Delphi. | |
| Does anyone have any experience with Bryston amps All Bryston amps sound cold and sterile to me.Magnepan demos with Bryston, but they aim marketing at cheapskates.Magnepan's sound much better with ARC and Pass Labs IMO. | |
| Pass Labs Power amps choices The Pass Labs point 8 series draws 50% more AC power than the point 5 series, and runs hotter if that matters to you. | |
| The ups and downs of tube vs. SS... I have heard and owned several tube, hybrid, and ss preamps and amps over the last 40 years.I found my pass labs x1 with pass labs xa30.5, xa 60.5, or son of ampzilla 2000 is clearer, dead quiet, and more life like than anything previously.. |
