| Aerial 7B amp recommendations According to Stereophile measurements for both the 7B and DNA-1, your amplifier should have no trouble driving the speakers up to and near their full potential. Both were tested and measurements are all available online. That said, if you’re reall... | |
| Capitol Audio Fest and the New York Audio a trend is emmerging "Nordost should be a poor choice for Magico, anyway, regardless of cost."That might explain why that "system" didn't sound as good as it could. Didn't realize those cables were that expensive.... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic Sorry I haven’t read all the posts but does this method require identical pairs of ICs between the two components or there’s still some improvements using different ICs? I have an extra pair of good ICs and some splitters that I can try but just w... | |
| Horns: Why don't they image well? "...as the sound and the visual gives me the complete experience, this is why I opt for big ESL's. "I have both Martin Logans and Vandersteen 2's in two different rooms in the house and the ESLs don't even come close to the image accuracy I get fr... | |

I have not heard the MC2300 but I own a pair of MC2200s and have compared them with several modern SS amps in the $3K-$5K range and the they... | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) Without providing any specifics around sound or aesthetics preferences, if you're looking for just "value" I don't think you can beat Tekton Design.But in general, in a thread like this most if not everyone will recommend what they own. | |
| With Internet radio, (streaming) do AM\FM tuners serve any purpose in HEA? For Jazz, WBGO 88.3 FM out of Newark, NJ is as good as it gets. | |
| Have you ever downgraded deliberately? Downgrading is not the same as downsizing. You can downsize and maintain the same or even better sound quality. | |
| Toslink/optical cable recommendations "They can be quite long, 36 feet or more was not uncommon."Back in day when working on submarine communications cables, 50 kilometer fiber optic cables between undersea repeaters was the norm. It all depends on the "source" and "destination" compo... | |
