| Ok, some of you suggested Magnepan 1.6QR The AyreV3 is a great match with the Maggies. I very happy with the way it drives my 1.6's. Match that up with a good tube preamp, and you have a slice of audio heaven. I mate mine with an Audible Illusions M3A with all the latest upgrades. Best-Gary | |
| cal. audio ikon mkII power boss upgrade Dekay- I think you hit it on the head...Interaction between components plays a major roll over how the entire system sounds. I know I'm stating the obvious here, but it always takes alot of playing around to find that great match. I have to say th... | |
| cal. audio ikon mkII power boss upgrade No-Money, Hello- When I had my Icon upgraded it was 4 years ago, at the time I had found my investment of $400, more than worth the cost, the HDCD alone is great, not to mention the powerful bass you get, the power supply upgrade in the Icon is ki... | |
| cal. audio ikon mkII power boss upgrade Get the upgrade! It is so worth it. Then wait until the new format arives. | |

| Power Snake Mamba vs. Synergistic Master Alexc-You can get them from Music Direct and John at The Audio Connection is now a dealer too. I saw one for sale on Audiogon and it was gone before I could snatch it up.Best-Gary | |
| Power Snake Mamba vs. Synergistic Master I've noticed not too many people have tried Custom Power Cord Company Model 11. This cable is a Absolute Sound favorite and is a steal at $270. I think it beats alot of the cables mentioned here. I put one on the power supply of my Audible Illusio... | |
| Your analysis of Analysis plus spk.cable I too am using Maggies and an Ayre V3. I found a bi-wired pair of Alpha-Core Goertz MI2 Veracity too be a good match with the Maggies and Ayre. Just my 2 cents...Best-Gary | |
| CD other tweaks You must have been speaking with Rick Schultz of Electronic Visionary Systems. If you haven't check out his website: tweakaudio.com - he is truly the king of tweaks. Great guy and really know his shit cold. | |
| Best MC Cartridge $300.00 or less Felix-Thanks for the feedback. I think i'll be keeping my Dyna for a while. How do you like you Ayre preamp, I currently have an Ayre V3 amp which I love. Anything I put in it's place just doesn't sound as right to me. A truly under rated company.... | |
| Best MC Cartridge $300.00 or less For what its worth I have had the original Bluepoint and the BBS in my system. My current cartridge is the Dynavector 10X4, and yes it does blow away the BBS in every regard. After a long run of upgrades in my system, I couldn't come up with the e... | |
| Audible Illusions Mod. III It is my understanding that they are no longer doing upgrades from the 3 to 3A. | |
| Amps & Maggies...what is your take? I have a pair of 1.6's and I use an Ayre V3 of which I find to be the best that I have had in my house. I have tried a Byston 4BST, Krell KSA 100S, Classe CA200 and the Pass Alpha3. Out of all of them I find the Ayre to best match my needs. The Pa... | |
| PASSIVE Preamp and LIFELESSNESS? I myself prefer an active preamp in my system. But in the past I have used passives from the best in the business, his name is Rick Schulzt and he has a company called Electrontic Vissionary Systems. Check out his website: tweakaudio.com Best-Gary |
