| Magnepan .7 Alternatives I am very acquainted with Maggies as an owner (MG3s, similar to today’s 3.7i) and a retailer. As others have said your room is too small to adequately play any Magnepan model. Get some direct radiators with 6.5 or 7” bass/ midranges on stands. Peo... | |
| Steely Dan Catalog on UHQR Vinyl As one who got on the SD train with their first album, and have found their earliest work to have their craftiest lyrics, some of their most iconic guitar work, and best all around music, I encourage you to listen to the full albums. Can’t Buy A ... | |
| Turntables I have had a TD1600 on order for months…waiting for the walnut plinth. Have a 2M Black LVB waiting to use with it. Your comment and Mijo’s are the first mentions I’ve seen here. Good to have my choice validated in advance! It will replace a 35 ... | |
| Yamaha m4 Sorry. Reading again the story seems to be the same…bad solder or bad caps. | |
| Yamaha m4 He didn’t say the amp was on nor whether the popping sound was from the amp itself or from the speakers. I’m getting that it was from the amp and indicates deteriorating solder joints at the pcb. Whether the caps are good or not needs to be evalua... | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? Boys, The world can no longer accept our obsession with internal combustion vehicles. One day, and it can’t come soon enough for me, the entire Motorsport enterprise will have to shut down. Burning fossil fuel for fun is not a moral choice, no ... | |
| What do the arrows mean on my cable? whart, Very interesting post. I read about the floating shield cable design earlier in an article about a French audio writer named Jean Hiraga. This dates back to when Monster Cable was oversized zip cord and Interlink was coaxial…before the “... | |
| Two amps into one pair of speakers "Accidentally having them both on at the same time is a great way to create memories." 😄😁😅 | |
| Two amps into one pair of speakers Unless one of the amps is rated for above 100W @ 8 Ohms (not unlikely...McIntosh often are), the device suggested by fuzztone is perfect to resolve this dangerous situation. But note, the PL should be powered off when not in use as the switch pre... | |
| Audiophile Jargon Demonstrated Many of these definitions apply to music too. Musicians relate to their instrument's sound in much the same way, whether acoustic or amplified...think about how a guitarist feels about whether to play a Telecaster vs. a Les Paul, what strings to ... | |
| Great classical pianists For Beethoven and Chopin….give me Gilels. Mozart…Uchida. Bach…Andrew Rangell. Or Gould if only he wouldn’t sing along! Also Kempf for the big Germanic Romantics. | |
| New amp listening fatigue: Distortion or ?????? +1 the audiomaniac. High output impedance 300B amp interacts with speaker load to create response variations that sound just like an equalizer. If you could measure and replicate that pattern with your new amp using DSP, I contend your listener ... | |
| SkyfiAudio Based on the videos alone, it’s evident these guys provide a high level of service and truly are committed to their craft. If they charged less how could they afford to support their business? It’s no different from manufacturers except that thei... | |
| Recommendation on speakers for listening to live music This discussion is mostly pointless. As others have pointed out you are listening to recorded music in a home environment. The system that fits your room size and layout, satisfies your playback volume needs, and reproduces everything well will be... | |
| Playing with Cartirdge loading on my phono stage There are only two settings available that fall within the specified 100-200 Ohm range…100 and 170. Try both and decide if you prefer one or the other…leave the capacitance at 470pF. |
