| Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which? Hi Maggie 3.7i owner I'm using . 57 resistors, I find they tame the high and mids just enough. I tried some over 1 but found they just smothered the high end. As for cable I'm using Canare 4s11 a very reasonable but great sounding cable used in ma... | |
| Looking to upgrade my Goldenear Triton ones. Need help If you have the space used Maggie 20.7 and maybe a couple of subs should give you terrific sound. | |
| Phono Preamp Selection If I were you I'd be searching the used sections as you'll get much more for your dollar. | |
| Best low budget speakers for a Levinson 383 Integrated amp There's a pair of Philharmonic monitors for sale over on audiocircle | |
| Best low budget speakers for a Levinson 383 Integrated amp Another Maggie's fan here i'd go with the 1.7 used provided you have the space.. and maybe add a sub. | |
| Any Rhode Island audiophiles out there? I may drive down from MA depending on when and where. | |
| New cartridge ideas... As a fellow owner Soundsmith is a great idea. I wouldn't give up on your current cartridge until you've put close to 100 hrs on it. | |
| Power amplifier longevity… thoughts? Don't know how much you plan on spending but Pass makes an excellent pairing with Maggie's. The Parasound Halo integrated is also a good combo. I don't think I'd invest much in a 20 year old model. Good luck | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album Jeff Beck Truth 2 X 45 rpm LP. The first few Chicago LP's sound great. ELP Lucky Man LP . Almost any Direct to Disc album but the music can sometimes sound dated. | |
| Orchestrated Rock...Uriah Heep and others Not classic yet but the new Joe Bonamassa live at the Hollywood Bowl has a full orchestra and really shines. | |
| Speakers that disappear Not sure of your budget but another idea would be the MBL 126 I have not heard it but it does get incredible reviews and seems to have the traits you are looking for. | |
| $8k for speakers - new or used You could get used Maggie 3.7i with a couple of subs should fill the bill. Not sure how they would pair with the Macs. | |
| Speakers that disappear Agree with Maggie's 3.7i but they do need a high current amp and subs add a lot. . What sold me was listening to Back in the USSR. They do miss on the not to big mark however. | |
| Are your records a health concern? Heck if you live in CA everything is cancerous even the chicken wire I bought had their health warning on it. | |
| Refurbished / Re-tipped Cartridges - Are they worth Buying? I've used Soundsmith several times and always been thrilled with the results. If you have one of their cartridges retipping is very affordable at about 20% the cartridge price. I usually buy gently used and get a cartridge I couldn't normally aff... |
