| Amp for Magnepan "Mini-Maggies" Thanks for the input holmz and mesch. I haven’t had the chance to set it up yet - I am in the midst of moving house. I will definitely use the A23 before considering a new amp but wanted to get some feedback on the experience of others driving Mi... | |
| Power cable dilemma @jrimer if you have not repeated the process, and found that the cable does it more than once, we are still left not knowing. | |
| Hum on Tube Amp - Can't find source @atmasphere yeah… shopping for a gravel/adventure one now. Crickey, they can be around the price of 3-4 of the mono blocks. | |
| Not sure what to think or do... Speakers don't need hundreds of hours to reach peak performance. Do you have another pair of speakers on hand to check the Parasound amp? If there is nothing wrong it should reach optimum temperature in several hours. After that leave it on 24/7.... | |
| Do Amps matter.. in an Amp? What does max amperage mean compared to the damping factor or the wattage change into different loads? Seems like an easy engineering question but I don’t see it discussed very often. If the speakers dip down into low impedance somewhere in th... | |
| Not sure what to think or do... The system is either wrong, as in something is out of phase, or just hosed. If it does it sound pretty darn good, then time will not fix it. If you think it is your home, then drag it all to another person’s house or garage and then try it th... | |
| Amp for Magnepan "Mini-Maggies" I do. But I could change it if necessary. Ok - how does it sound? Personally I would be looking at a Saunders if I was starting from scratch. But if it sounds good with the existing Parasound, then why consider changing it? Just hook it up an... | |
| Not sure what to think or do... They look great but everything sounds terrible with the new speakers and the new JC5. They should sound good. Both the new amp and speakers have about 30 hours on them. I dont think it is the speakers because I tried with a 8 year old A23 ... | |
| Power cable dilemma If that power cord was a bottleneck, then I would assume it would be heating up? Even an 18ga wire should flow enough current to trip a breaker… or enough to melt it if the load wants that amount of current… Without a redo of the cable, we are s... | |
| Hum on Tube Amp - Can't find source @atmasphere being a guy in the land of 10k lakes, motor boating should be natural. 😎 (but it’s probably ice fishing season now,) I was pretty sure that the hum reducer gear, and power conditioning approach, was not likely to lead to a solution… a... | |
| Amp for Magnepan "Mini-Maggies" Do you already own the Parasound amp? | |
| Power cable dilemma Other than a resistance measurement… But if you put the good looking cable back in, and it does the same thing again… then we know it was not the amp running in some semi protection state… (If that is even possible?) | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? Of course perception plays a role too. So youre wrong. All those things can affect the sound you hear indirectly. However… I am not a Feng Shui master. They certainly have affected the sound that you hear. As you see the shape, and you know i... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing We have several reports now that leaving the amps on helps them sound better. How? Why? Is that something also noted at the factory in measurements? | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? The first step towards PERFECTION is to listen to your speakers and then write down a list of all the things which are imperfect about them. Do it Dill and then come back ^That^ is not a bad exercise… However the grill or box colour, the mater... |
