| What is the best speaker cable for Maggies 3.6? As Stehno said above, I do use the Au24 speaker cables with my maggies and am very pleased with the results. Audience does not recommend bi-wiring as a general rule and I had already come to that conclusion from my own experimentation. The single ... | |
| Need recommendation for a preamp. If it's the Cary SLP-50 referred to above, it is a very nice little preamp. Since you are interested in passive, you might want to give a Placette Passive linestage a try. I think the used price is still around $900, if you can find one. You shoul... | |
| Steely Dan - New release / June 10th "Royal Scam" is probably still my favorite also. I remember the first time I heard it was on radio the week it was released by a station that played side 1 without commercials and followed with side two uninterrupted following the break. It went t... | |
| Anyone heard the new Led Zep jJapanese CDs? I know what you are saying about the sound of the original four disc boxed set and following two disc set. The Auric Illuminator treatment was beneficial. I have seen the remastered discs on the shelf, but was waiting for something like these mini... | |
| Steely Dan - New release / June 10th I don't hear the thump here. Not at 1:18 into or left of track 7. | |
| Pink Floyd fans, Limited Ed CD Hybrid disc I still prefer the Mobile Fidelity UDCD517 (made in Japan)disc to the cd layer of the newest release of Dark Side of the Moon. The mofi is at a lower recording level, but I can compensate for that with the volume control. If things keep going the ... | |
| AZ Satori vs. Audience AU24 I had a dual run of Satori, and then a single run of Satori which sounded better with my speakers. After using the Satori for over a year, I got the Au24 single run in my system for a couple of weeks and went back to the Satori for a side by side ... | |
| Cardas Golden Ref or Acoustic Zen Silver Mkx? ICs? The AZ Silver Ref mk1 and then mk2 were the best IC's I had tried until the Audience Au24. The Cardas NR and AZ Matrix mk1 sounded very similar in my system. I have not tried the Cardas Golden Ref IC. | |
| Ok this will be a good thread. Uh Uh Unclejeff..this IS Audiogon :) | |
| Speaker cables for Maggie 3.5s Timwat, Basically it's just a matter of eliminating the need for jumpers on the input side of the XO box when using a single run of speaker cables. Once you open the XO boxes you can see how it's wired and goes to the output side to the speaker pa... | |
| Speaker cables for Maggie 3.5s The informative review of the Empirical Audio Clarity 7 speaker cables at Positive Feedback is very interesting and verifies other reports I have read regarding their performance. The current review is significant for me because it favorably compa... | |
| Speaker cables for Maggie 3.5s Audience Au24 are what I am now using with the MG3.6R speakers and are by far the best sounding of anything I have tried.Previously used Cardas Neutral Ref. 'shotgun', Satori 'shotgun' and Satori w/jumpers. The Au24 initially were excellent and le... | |
| preamp to mate with McCormack DNA 1 For hard to beat value I was mainly referring to the used price for the Placette. I picked up mine used locally, but still think it's a good value at list price. I thought the Bent Audio passive was more expensive than that. I've been hearing a lo... | |
| preamp to mate with McCormack DNA 1 I also highly recommend the Placette Passive or Remote Volume Control. Both models are remote controlled, it's not an option. The difference is the Passive has three inputs standard and the RVC has one input. The Passive new is $1400, used general... | |
| A warm and rich sounding power cord Jitmingl, I didn't want my suggestion of the VH Audio cords to cause your thread to be hijacked. I was mainly seconding the suggestion of Amandarae to try them because of my good recent experience. I have seen it mentioned more than once here to n... |
