| Recommendations for an MC cart on Audiogon Now is a great time to try MI as Soundsmith is having a great sale on cartridges to make room for it’s new line. | |
| Turntables You could pick up a used VPI table and a low hours cartridge. If you want to try a tt that gets good reviews in a lower price range check the Uturn web page, they also have a reasonable phono preamp. | |
| Emotiva equipmet, how good is it? I had a pair of XPA 1L trying to power my Maggie 1.7 speakers after about 7 returns to the factory for service I switched to a Parasound integrated it was a dramatic improvement in quality, and musicality and never a problem. | |
| What are your notes and thoughts on The Beatles White Album Giles Martin remaster? Has anyone compared vinyl to cd. I've been told the Esher songs are much better on vinyl just wondering if that's true. | |
| Emotiva equipmet, how good is it? I think the older Emo stuff is from China most of the new line is at least assembled here according to their web page. | |
| Emotiva equipmet, how good is it? You can probably find a used Parasound integrated for about $1300 , I don’t think you’ll be able to beat it for sound and function at that price. I owned Emos and the difference was night and day. | |
| Sound Anchors and Magnepan I have 3.7i's and was thinking of Mye stands but spoke to someone who owned them that said they were a complete waist except for possibly extremely high volumes but even then.... | |
| Best Amp for Magnepan 1.7? I used a Parasound Integrated with my 1.7i with a sub and the sound was phenomenal. The Parasound can be found used in the $1500 range and has everything and plenty of current for those Maggie's. | |
| Trying Magnepans, need advice I used 1.7i with a sub in a room 11-5 x 15 and the sound was totally amazing. Most listeners seemed to prefer the sound without resistors. The room had plenty of lp storage , curtains and carpeting which tamed the high end. | |
| Magnepan 3.6qr VS 1.7i Just be careful of the year if you go with the 3.6 I believe some 2005 and prior are subject to delaminatiion of the wires due to glue failure. | |
| Best amp options between $2k-$4 to power Magnepan 1.7? I used a Parasound HINT simply magical with 1.7s. | |
| D-Sonic and Magnepan? Try a Parasound integrated they are magic with smaller Maggies and have a good phono pre built in. | |
| If you could only keep 5 record albums, what would they be? Beatles. WhiteAllman Brothers. Live at the FilmoreThe Who. TommyRolling Stones. Hot RocksCream. Best of | |
| Stones mono box set thoughts on audio quality I got the mono cd box on eBay at a great price, while it sounds good I prefer the sacd Stones. | |
