| Magnepan vs. Martin Logan Wow, what an excellent response from Duke.As an owner of Maggie 3.3 and 3.5 for 6 years, my experience with these speakers very much echo Duke's comments. And when I went to hear the various Martin Logan models on numerous occassions, I also exper... | |
| Problem with Bryston 14bsst I would suggest a different approach. If one channel of your preamp has caused damage to one side of the Bryston, it will likely cause damage to the other side. Is this what you truly want to test? It's one thing to swap cables and channels if you... | |
| Audio Research Ref 1 or LS25 MK2 or BAT 50 Pbb: Please explain why you make a blanket statement to stay away from BAT equipment and then give no reason as to why.As I have posted many times here, I had an ARC LS5 II and III for a combined 7 years. This was an awesome product. And to all of... | |
| Help-Genesis Digital Lens Maybe you can find an inexpensive programmable remote, $10-20 or so, and have someone local program this with their Genesis remote. I have the Genesis Time Lens and I am in Minneapolis if you are anywhere close. If you have no luck, email me and w... | |
| Simple enough? One power cable that has recently impressed me greatly is the Kubala-Sosna line. These easily bend and twist as they are wrapped in a soft fabric. | |
| Class D Amp For 'Stats? Congratulations. Brian at EssentialAudio (also his A'gon name) has much experience with the JC-1s driving the SL speakers. He also has a lot of experience with the Atmaspheres and the CAT's. So I suspect he would be a good source of advice to get ... | |
| Class D Amp For 'Stats? The whole issue of low impedance Apogee speakers and the H2O's ability is irrelevant. Since this is not the case for the A1's, discussing an amp that handles sub 1-ohm loads is a "don't care" issue in this thread.Pure and simple, if you have inves... | |
| Class D Amp For 'Stats? I too have the SL A1's. Earlier this year I tried the H20 non-signature stereo amp here. Once I got passed the claimed "inapplicability" of these amps with MIT ICs, I had pretty much the same results with NBS ICs....the H20 was fine but not a musi... | |
| Nordost v MIT John makes some valid points here. And based on what he initially writes, and my own experience of owning MIT 350 ICs, I can see exactly why they do work well with the Nordost. If one cable is soft and the other is a bit overly detailed, then the ... | |
| Bi-Amping Possibility, which direction ? When I had Magnepans I was all set to finally biamp these speakers. Ultimately the change to Soundlab speakers changed tihs, but the one crossover product that appealed to me was the Space-Tech-Lab tube units. They were available in single-ended a... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Wow! Already there are audio diehards upgrading the CD Duplicator. I love it. By some time next year I will throw in the towel and just leave well enough alone for a few years as was the case back in the mid 80s into the early 90s.As for the AA Ca... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Exlibris: I have had the Manley Ref DAC for several years and for a long time, it was not at all close to the weakest link in my system. But this last year I have changed from a BAT 31SE to Callisto Sig, Wolcott Presence to CAT JL-3, Magnepan 3.5 ... | |
| Power Amp Tubes Blowing - what's wrong? Your situation is not unique. Could this simply be that the tubes have reached the end of their life? In just the last 2 months I have also had 2 power tubes fail in my CAT JL-3 amps. These tubes just happen to be 2 years old. And with previous AR... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective I don't mean to hijack this DAC thread but I'd like to chime in on the Callisto and running balanced. When I switched to CAT amps, I had no choice but to change over to RCA ICs as these amps are single-ended only. And then when I got the Callisto,... | |
| New tube amp for ML Prodigy CAT, VTL, ARC???? Chris,I have not heard the JL-1's but yes, they have gotten much praise from the beginning. A pair of these sold several months ago here for around $8k. You don't see them here too often. But the JL-2 is often for sale here at this price and I hav... |
