| Maybe looking at the following to replace my Magico S-5 MK 1 When you fell in love with your Magicos and bought them, what amplification and associated equipment was driving them? That might be a good starting point. You are all over the place with random electronic queries, it just makes no sense. | |
| Maybe looking at the following to replace my Magico S-5 MK 1 "G- have you heard the MA-9000 or the dartzeel lac-208?"I don't recall which dartzeel model I have heard but if I recall correctly it had a built in dac. Heard it with some evolution acoustic speakers for like a millisecond a few years back. Sound... | |
| Maybe looking at the following to replace my Magico S-5 MK 1 Greetings! Once again, a disclaimer: I am not a pro, I am not in the industry and I have no affiliations. I dont have golden ears nor am I an expert in anything except in the area of mis-spent funds. I have bought more gear and sold more gear than... | |
| Maybe looking at the following to replace my Magico S-5 MK 1 “Funny you mention a one box solution. Jeff Fritz gave a glowing review of the new McIntosh MA 9000. I also may like the dartzeel LHC-208. So no, I am a music lover and want to get back to just enjoying...“jglacken, once again, its your money a... | |
| Maybe looking at the following to replace my Magico S-5 MK 1 Listen, I'm no expert, I don't know what you like, I don't know your room, etc. You should listen to a trusted dealer and learn from their mistakes. They readily share their knowledge and if it is withing your means, you might consider therre is r... | |
| Maybe looking at the following to replace my Magico S-5 MK 1 It seems you are ready to reboot, based on your comments. Where do you live? The wilson Sabrina is sublime, makes sophia 3’s sound kindof broken to my ears. YMMV. There is a preowned paid of sabrinas at audio arts in new york presently. 1st rate d... | |
| Maybe looking at the following to replace my Magico S-5 MK 1 A couple of Wilson Audio models, Focal Sopra. Wasn't always a fan of either brand but either I have come around or they have. LOL. Several factors were at play for me, I have a large volume room that is pretty hot, I don't listen at high volume le... | |
| Maybe looking at the following to replace my Magico S-5 MK 1 Of the three you have listed, I have heard all three although NOT nearly within an acceptable time period. Different audio shows. Among them, I prefer the Martens. I value reasonably full range without brightness. It all depends though on your pre... | |
| Digital vs Vinyl: The winner is ?? Interesting. The control group doing the comparisons, the standard deviations were interesting with the sd of those who prefer analog treble quite a bit wider. The important thing here what digital tape machine and what analog tape machine were us... | |
| McIntosh Mc-500 Did you arrange the shipping or the seller? Whomever arranged and contracted the shipping owns the problem. | |
| to bi-wire or not? Also depends on the quality of your existing jumpers. If they aren’t up to the task, then you may hear benefits from bi-wiring but it will have more to do with the removal of the poor quality jumpers from the chain than the act of bi-wiring itself. | |
| McIntosh Mc-500 Return it. The glass being broken indicates a firm strike. Your money though. | |
| Voxative Hagan Keithr, yes, very much. Unfortunately though, they are now in a much smaller space in Colorado. Listed them for sale but I'll keep them rather than firesale them. They are truly extraordinary. You still on the Dartzeel wagon? | |
| Voxative Hagan Full range with the exception of the top end and the bottom octaves. This speaker is very much a bookshelf equivalent. | |
| Tidal HiFi Test - how representative? Love Tidal but I use it exclusively with the Roon Music Server. Amazing, simply amazing. Sound quality is excellent, access to what I want to hear is wonderful and I have noticed no playback delays which is probably due to the Roon server handing ... |
