| Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad If the amplifiers and sources are on the floor between speakers with higher midrange and tweeter elements this should not interfere with the acoustics. | |
| Has anyboidy had any experience with an 833-A single-ended triode amplifier? PS I just looked at Will Vincent's amplifier and it is a beautiful piece of art work. | |
| Has anyboidy had any experience with an 833-A single-ended triode amplifier? I need help in how to put photographs in these answers. The picture of the curves on the 833-A at 1kV have near equal spacing for grid voltages vs plate current so it looks linear. I do not have distortion measuring equipment but I understand seco... | |
| Disco...yep, I'm going there Therein lies the problem, " . . . it defined our consciousness . . . " and not everybody wanted to have that definition of who and what they were required to be in order to conform and to fit in by a simplistic linear drum beat on the level of kin... | |
| What are the speakers you very rarely find in the Used market(Audiogon or Anywhere)? While I like to hear how other people combine amplifiers and speakers, Magnepans closed my mind to anything else. | |
| Magnepans If you have a tube amplifier and you need power to drive Magnepans, and you know how to do it, replace the output transformer of your tube amplifier with a headphone amp stepped down to about 800 Ohms, for SET the LL1930 is perfect for this. Conne... | |
| The Science of Cables I have heard subtle differences between how different speaker cables sound in an A-B demonstration at an audio club and the difference was above a threshold of placebo effect. Interconnect cables can sound different if capacitance is not accounted... | |
| A comparison between two DACs, one R-2R, the other ES 9038-based. More than 10 years ago, when I could afford it, I purchased an MSB Platinum with upgraded R2R ladders, one in each channel, upsmpling to 384, and a buffer to eliminate jitter. It sounds very good. I later got an Oppo universal NuForce player for ... | |
| New Magneplanar Bass Panel DWM I live in a small house with a small listening area sectioned off the circular shape of the floor in my round house. I recently connected Magnepan 0.7s to my system. The room is not big enough for larger speakers, even if I could afford them. Acco... | |
| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? I have to go with richopp69. While I remember DQ-10s sounding clear years ago, nothing, not even $50,000 speakers come close to Magnepans. 0.7s are my favorites because they are simple two way speakers and I do not trust pure ribbon tweeters becau... | |
| What area or country do you live in ? Houston, Delaware living in a Futuro house since 1977 and this is where I will stay till the day I die.I have had many sound systems and home theater for watching opera.I finally settled for Magnepan speakers driven by 833-A triodes (It takes thes... | |
| Will a MC phono preamp overload and distort with a higher output MC cartridge? Thank you. I am going to try the phono preamp. | |
| If you love SET amplifiers, boy do I have speaker for you. If I had not fallen in live with the 833-A SET and Magnepan speakers I would want to try this design. The NSMT is a very attractive looking speaker, not only at modest price but ideal for inexpensive to build yourself small SET amps. They draw les... | |
| Center Channel with Magnepan .7: Magnepan mmg-c vs Kilpsch I think I will go with Magnepan for the center channel. Thank you. | |
| Speaker recommendation for Home Theater If you liked Magnepan, the older Magnepan speakers were constructed with wires cemented to the Mylar film and the cement breaks down over the years causing them to buzz. While it is possible to re-cement the wires, the newer Magnepans changed from... |
