| ..so you think there's no need....... A bit off topic, but 20 years ago living in VA I sold my McIntosh C15 and MC300 to a fellow in WA. He was an artist, and sent me 3 nice prints of water colors scenes he had done. I had them framed and have them to this day... I continue to find 90... | |
| Magico compared to Tannoy I just thought of something else that may answer your question better - I mentioned I listened to classical, but failed to mention I am an enthusiast of organ music. Listening to 16 to 32 Hz notes at 85 db, along with the rest of the music being p... | |
| Magico compared to Tannoy King, my room is 13.5 by 21 feet. I listen mostly to classical, some jazz, blues, etc. I wasn’t saying the primaluna wasn’t enough power - note that in at least the nominal ratings the Luxman 509x 120 w/ch is less than primaluna dialogue premium m... | |
| Magico compared to Tannoy I’m probably one of the few who have moved from tannoy to magico so I thought I should respond to this. I had the Kensington’s (SE) with primaluna dialogue premium preamp and HP amp. I went to Magico A3. The tube amps were not a good match for ... | |
| piano works (concerto/jazz) speakers ATC/Proac/JMR/Vienna Acoustic/B&W I owned proac D25s years ago and thought they had the best piano reproduction I’d heard from anything else I’d had up to that point. At this price you may also want to check out the Quad Z1. | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO @grannyring have you played enough with the different chokes to have an idea of the difference in sound? I read somewhere the Lundahl amorphous core might present a little more detail but the regular ones are rounder sounding. Also is the choke ... | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO My EVO has about 500 hours now and I'm really enjoying it. I'm very impressed with its overall balance and coherency. I can't find anything wrong with its sound at this point (some DACs are too bright, hard, or muffled; or have a strange tonalit... | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO Branislav, that's what I meant when I said I plugged in my cheap laptop that I normally use as a Roon core/server hidden away in a closet. It sounded better than the Oppo. | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO Input source (’streamer’) quality really matters - no skimping here. I believe Ben has said somewhere in these forums to get the best out of the Mystique you have to have a comparable quality streamer otherwise you may be wasting your money. I fou... | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO I have 150+ hours on my B4B now, upgrades included the class A output and SPDIF analog section upgrade (both standard on B4B21). I'm comparing it to a Luxman D08u, streaming through a Lumin U1. The Luxman is a very smooth and 'analogue' CD playe... | |
| members and their systems I'm surprised no one mentioned the term "audiophilia" yet. It's a sickness. A fun one though. | |
| Recommend a dac that contributes to system for tight bass OP, I also have Harbeth 40.2s. I've tried several DACs/CD players and other components (including Class D amps from my normal Luxman), and the Schiit surprised me that a DAC could make so much difference in the bass department. No other change i... | |

| pops and ticks from DAC My streamer does this if I have both USB and SPDIF plugged in at the same time. Different streamer (Lumin) but maybe similar causes. | |
| How to go about collecting Classical Music Try JAV recordings Daniel Roth at St. Ouen de Rouen, and Vincent Dubois at St. Sulpice, both SACDs. Excellent examples of the genre and these organs. If you seek out the Fagius Bach set, do NOT get the SACDs, sound quality is not great, get the ... |
