| How can music be sad? fertguy, David Allen Coe at his best. | |
| Preamp SS to match class D amp And now for something completely different, Meridian G02. Balanced and SE preout, 3 balanced inputs as well as 4 SE inputs. | |
| New speakers. New room. A very exquisite reading parlour. Your rugs are very nice. Looks comfortable and inviting. | |
| I've been dragged to recommendations, kicking and screaming Greig, Ravel, Vivaldi and Led Zeppelin=Radio Paradise. Mostly rock and roll on this internet station. The variety is unbelievable, cost nothing, and is programmed by real people. | |
| Pondering a change after 30 odd years... Magnepan LRS, if you don't like them, Fed Ex them back for a full refund. They can be traded up for specified other Magnepan models. | |
| Dynamic range - effect on different speaker cables - even very high quality ones Keep it simple use both cables in parallel as two others have mentioned. You will have the best of both. Cable saturation, maybe with a few thousand watts. | |
| What to upgrade next. Dadork, have you considered a three or four steps to audio heaven? A streamer, yes. The rest....Besides the streamer, a two channel pre, with the best specs you can afford. There are a couple of Meridian 2chan audiophile pres on Ebay at 1200 an... | |
| laid back stereo power amp Check out the Digital Amplifier Company's Cherries. These are the best amp for my Maggies imho. Black background, no noise, the music just erupts out of the speakers. Currently using 2 stereo Maraschinos and 1 Mega MKII 4800A. | |
| Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned? Magnepan MGIIIC, clarity, that the wife mentioned upon first listen. Digital Amplifier Company 4800A. Marantz AV8801. Each step up the chain was large increase in SQ, for me. | |
| Best options for active speakers $4k or below? Look at some used Meridians. Had a small pair, 2way, amazing sound, clean sound. Ebay and other places for a good price. Mine were too beat up on electronics, specifically the RCA input wires internally were broken. | |
| Which speaker wire does this hook up to? dtximages, nailed it. 9v Battery and you have a speaker popper, been doing this since 1973 as a car audio diagnostic tool. Part B using the same 9v battery you can use it for a polarity check. Positive to positive and you get a speaker cone tha... | |
| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? Thank you ieales. Great info. | |
| Switch from AB to D In my system a pair of DAC Maraschinos, class D beat various A/B amps in several respects. Tightened the bass and mid bass, opened up the upper midrange, and just more musical sounding. Speakers are either Magnepan or Martin Logans. The Cherry ... | |
| What was your most disappointing album purchase? I had one of the first LP pressings of In the Court of the King. The guitar distortion levels and recording were hard to listen on the 1970's equiptment. Very poorly recorded with massive overload.Gaucho, my musician friends love listening and w... | |
| It was 20 years ago today... Happy Aniversary, I miss the occasional R.A.M. contribution. I would to thank all the posters and the knowledge they contribute. I have learned a lot here, don’t have bucks to keep up with the rest of you. Buying used helps a lot. Stay safe and ha... |
