| Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9 The D7s employ a driver for bass and another that shares the bass/midrange. With the D9s the midrange is a single isolated driver and there are two bass drivers that were designed for this speaker. Compared to the D7 the D9s are more balanced an... | |
| Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9 I enjoy my D9s every day for extended listening sessions. The highs are open and airy with excellent detail but are not harsh. I do not use any subwoofer and the bass is excellent, extended, and when appropriate palpable. The D9s performance is... | |
| Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9 All three are excellent choices. I purchased the Spendor D9s this year after a similar elimination process. They will work very well with a 48 watt amp with their 90db efficiency and 8ohm nominal impediance. The bass extension to below 28hz is s... | |
| Spendor D7 vs. Spendor A7 I own the Spendor D9s and have spent time with the A7s. I am going to assume the D7s are closer to the D9s than the A7s. The A7s are fun speakers with surprising bass extension but lack the clarity in the highs that the “D” series supplies. Ver... | |
| VPI 16.5 vacuum cleaner Sounds like something clogging the outflow of the tank. Might gently flush a little water back up the tube to see if you can dislodge the obstruction. | |
| Power Conditioner for Amp I use an Audience aR6 TSSD with my Ayre VX5-20. This conditioner has no issues in current limitation. My entire system sounds better IMO when all connected to the aR6 and each plug is isolated from the other 5. Quality power cords are also in u... | |
| Help with setting impediance level for Polk rti a7 speakers I think you question relates to the amps output. The amp will “see” the impedance of the speakers and its output will vary depending on what it is ”seeing” automatically. This occurs instantaneously and continuously as the impedance will vary wi... | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K The Spendor D9 should be added to your list. I purchased a pair six months ago with a targeted presentation goal similar to the one you have stated. They are not harsh but supply excellent musical detail and bass extension. | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) Try to hear the Spendor D9 balanced top to bottom with excellent bass extension. | |
| VAC Sigma Preamplifier Front Meter / Thoughts / MC Cartridge The VAC Phi Alpha and Phi Beta preamps were from a similar build timeframe for VAC and in their manuals it states the following: “Meter: Indicate the operating voltages within the unit. This will vary somewhat due to fluctuations in power line vol... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Here is an off the grid suggestion. I switched to these from Audience AU24SE cables a few months ago and really like how well they perform in my system. https://luminousaudio.com/collections/speaker-cables/products/synchestra-signature-speaker-c... | |

| Audioquest upper end copper IC's sound ???? These are great replys but I’m afraid this 2004 post is a little dated to be addressed currently. I’ll assume the OP has pursued some cable choices in the past 14 years and that this discussion should once again be allowed to quietly close. | |
| North East Florida Audio Society I suggest you contact House of Stereo | |
| Op amp Rolling? I used the Opa 627 in brown dog adapters in my Shanling CDP years ago. Really nice upgrade with improved clarity and soundstage. Sadly the CDP retired itself... I still have the opamps here. I think I have 4 sets. PM me.Rick |
