Maggie owners opinions wanted Secretguy, a couple more thoughts. As you have obviously found out Maggies do some very special things. I used MGIIIA's for many years. They are now sitting in my basement in need of repair. These are highly modified, with completely upgraded xove... | |
Maggie owners opinions wanted You might find this interesting reading.http://db.AudioAsylum.com/mhtml/m.html?forum=mug&n=14383&highlight=MgIIIA+vs&r=&search_url=%2Fcgi%2Fsearch.mpl%3F | |
Please help me understand Ro....Nah! I better not, I shouldn't waste my time. | |
Maggie owners opinions wanted Funny, after I posted my response I realized that I had omitted something in my post, and that the new and "improved" agoN wouldn't let me edit my post. Anyway, I wanted to tell the OP to not assume that the non-working bass panel (more accurately... | |
the meaning of the word "better" "Better" can be one of two things, depending on the system-builder's goal:Better is a component that makes (lets) a sound system sound more pleasing to that person; without a specific reference in mind, other than that person's sonic preferences. ... | |
Which Cables Are of Most Importance? Just revisiting this thread. Almarg, you said:****the converse is also true. Any information that is lost or distortion that is added by a downstream component or cable cannot be corrected by anything further upstream!****Absolutely true. But the ... | |
Maggie owners opinions wanted There's a pair of 3.6's listed here for $2400 (no affiliation); so start with that as a reference. You say up to $1000 for a rebuild. Does that include the shipping? That will be expensive. Will they replace the ribbon tweeters for that price? I a... | |
Please help me understand Some good comments above. And wonder of wonders, not one comment claiming that they DO sound the same if they measure the same. I would just like to add that not only don't we yet know how to measure everything that might affect the signal passing... | |
Stereo and Fish tanks - noisy need help Buconero, a well-meaning suggestion; but completely wrong I am afraid. A filter not only oxygenates water, but is also the home of beneficial bacteria which convert ammonia into nitrate; a process that is essential. The bacteria take many days to ... | |
Is there any truth to this question? While I disagree with Mapman's suggestion that digital handles transients better than analog (and this is not meant to start yet another digital/analog debate) I think he makes a good and very important point about the issue of power reserves and ... | |
12ax7 vs 5751 Mikirob, the comment about the GE's was the OP's, not mine (although I agree). I was quoting Grayf in order to explain my recommendation of the Raytheons which I think would be more to his liking. I do have a pair of GE's, but they are not for sal... | |
12ax7 vs 5751 ****i did some extended listening yesterday evening at a much more decent sound level. i found the ge 5751`s a little too warm for my set up. all the detail is there just too warm. my amp is already on the warm side so i guess the ge`s were too mu... | |
Best single-malt Scotch... Hi Learsfool. I currently have a bottle of Lagavulin 16, and Laphroig 10 in my cabinet. I love the Lagavulin. But I have to be in then mood for it. I thoroughly enjoy the Lagavulin. The Laphroig, well, let me put it this way: that bottle was a wed... | |
Is there any truth to this question? IMO, the only indisputable comments so far are Pubul57's:****I have concluded that lower power versions of the same circuit sound better than those iterations with higher power if the power is sufficient to play at a volume you are satisfied with ... | |
Channel imbalance question You said: "The imbalance went away". Do you mean that the channels were now well balanced, but reversed? And very importantly: what happens when you return the connections to normal (as before)? Does the imbalance return? |
