| Has anyone else auditioned something that really was terrible? Mogami speaker cables. Hands down, the worst piece of stereo equipment I have had the misfortune to audition.... | |
| What would you buy A watt is not necessarily a watt for tubes. They seem to my ears to play well above their rated power..... | |
| Dipping toes in tube preamp pool!! Don Sach's tube preamp is phenomenal and costs less than 3K. I have paired is with a PassLabs X250.5 amplifier and am in audio heaven. The preamp is great irrespective of cost. For the money, it is just stupid good. | |
| Review: Pass Labs X250.5 Amplifier I just picked up a X250.5 on Audiogon and am driving it with the latest Don Sachs tube preamp. OMG. Other components include two heavily modded Dayton subwoofers, a heavily modded pair of Magnepan1.7s, a modded Cambridge transport and Chord DAC.... | |

| don sach's custom kt88 tube amp Does this amp have enough power to effectively drive Magnepan 1.7 speakers run with dual subwoofers? | |
| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? Tunis' silver plated copper cables. They sell here on Audiogon, are very reasonable pricewise and sound superb. | |
| Magnepan Crossover Mod Approach? Josh - I have not considered moving up to the 3.6 or 3.7; I can certainly go and listen to them at a local dealer near me and hear the latest model. Thanks for the suggestion. | |
| Magnepan Crossover Mod Approach? There is nothing that I really dislike about the speakers. I had my boehringer outboard x-over rebuilt for my emerald physic CS 3 speakers and they improved considerably. I am pursuing a bit more top end extension and transparency; the mod can be ... |
