| Amplifier current vrs watts; why is current more important? As a Magnepan owner I will tell you I went through a couple amps trying to get the best out of them. Maggie's are notorious for chewing up lesser quality amps and spitting them out. They literally put one amp of high wattage into protection mode... | |
| Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go? Bought a Don Sachs all in preamp a couple years back. Every component upgrade I've down has been a incremental increase in sound that I wanted to hear.....until I slid the Don Sachs into my system. It was one of those moments that just had me sm... | |
| Tight bass sub recommendations I went through this same scenario a couple years ago trying to find a sub to match up to the 1.7's. Tried and returned a half dozen recommended subs (most mentioned here). They all muddied the tone as the resonance of the sub would just last lon... | |
| HELP!!! I need a “GOOD-CHEAP” preamp solution??? Take a look at Don Sachs pre. Or better yet, call him. I've been through a bit of equipment in my time and when I plugged his "all in" custom preamp into my system I knew I had made the right choice. | |
| When do you turn off the tubes? I have a tube DAC and a tube pre both with some expensive NOS tubes. Those components go on for 10 minutes prior and off when I'm done listening......or when my girl gets frisky. Damn NOS is expensive. | |
| OMG OMG OMG Harbeth M30.1 INCOMING!!!A Few Questions For Owners If you're looking for tubes, I heard a pair of Harbeths recently paired with the Bob Carver Crimson 275. It was very very sweet. I dont recall the model of the Harbeths, but that 275 runs at 75 watts per channel and will be stable to 2 ohms. IM... | |
| Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result? Like danatek2 said....I was searching for a relevant sub that would compliment a pair of Maggie 3.7iribbon speakers and tried a half dozen of the more popular (and expensive) offerings. All sounded muddy and out of sync as the Maggie's are very f... | |
| beginner seperate system If you are going to keep most everything you may consider a tube preamp. Don Sachs can make you a great piece for under 2k. You may be shocked at how much different the sound of your system can be just from the addition of a quality preamp. Oth... | |
| Has any inexpensive Asian DAC manufacturer harnessed the ESS Sabre ES9038PRO Chip? Musical Paradise just released a tube DAC that you can order with twin 9038pro chips. I have the earlier model with AK4497 and love it with NOS tubes. It even has quick change system for changing out Caps. It's more than 500 bucks but even Dan ... | |
| Upgrade over Sonos ZP90? I just did the wyrd4sound mod. Ripped all my cd's to FLAC and the sonos now upsamples from 44.1 to 96. The background is now super quiet and the clock they use beats the hell out of the stock one. Very happy with sound of the downloads and I ne... | |
| SS Integrated Amplifier that would sound good with the PSB Synchrony One B The Plinius is a brute of an amp, but really lacks the finesse on the top end. And sounds better than the Mcintosh ma5200?? To each his own, but that Mcintosh has killer sound all the way up the scale where the Plinius may present nice bass but ... | |
| Power Amping an Integrated Amp Wow...talk about blast from the past audio! I owned a pair of L1230's and drove them with an MA6200. That integrated is one GREAT piece of equipment. I would definitely wait for it to come back from its tuneup and give it a listen. I really do... | |
| MG12 QR Maggies with Mye stands, or 1.7i's with stock stands? Bought the 1.7s a couple years back and love them. I didn’t get custom stands but rising them off the floor a bit and changing tilt angle goes a long way. I, too, like to mod and I changed the high register cap to cut the glare. Changed out the lo... | |
| Magnepan 3.7i with two (2) DWMs with Pass Labs XA100.5 Yeah, the way you have them wired you are definitely putting a strain on those monos. I have the 3.7s and used to run them with a Pass 250.5. Tried the DWM's and never did get used to them. Tried several subs (some pretty expensive too) and just... | |
| AMPLIFIER BLOCKS Great, now we can look forward very soon to a can of tomato sauce being $129.00!!!Now that's funny! |
