| Musical Fidelity Trivista 300 My Tri-Vista input selector dial IS a little ’sensitive’, ie. especially wants to ’dance’ a little when first powering up. But it stays on the selection during use. I really enjoy the sound though, especially after finding some tweaks - upgraded f... | |
| I think some cables are just a little too expensive. After 40 years in this hobby, I have bought and retired probably 50 pairs of speaker cables. I think most of us have the "used cable" box or drawer. I will say that there is some logic to the phrase "pay once and cry once". As long as the "pay onc... | |
| Why Crazy Prices paid for Pioneer 100 JBL L100 AR1 AR3 AR3A Good question. I have an old pair of JBL L80(?) boxed up somewhere that I listened to for about a week, then boxed them back up. I bought them thinking they would be great, only to realize they were (to me at the time) just average, in fact had a ... | |
| Musical Design CD1 It was a modded Pioneer PD-65. | |
| Cheap/expensive or expensive/cheap? I will say something that many will probably disagree with but I have found it to be instructive over many years in this hobby: you should budget almost as much on the the amplifier to speaker interface (speaker cables) as you do on the amplifier.... | |
| What do/did you do for a living? Electricity and natural gas brokerage and procurement consulting for commercial, industrial, educational, health care, and municipal customers in deregulated states of Texas, Illinois, Pa, NY, NJ, Ohio, etc. System has gone in value from over 40 y... | |
| MIT Matrix rev 60 speaker cables. Has anyone listened to them? Small *correction* - I mentioned above that my interconnects are HD38. They are actually the HD36, not HD38, which are speaker cables. It appears the Matrix HD series vintage is around 2012(?), not sure.Here’s a recent (last month-June 25, 2020) r... | |
| MIT Matrix rev 60 speaker cables. Has anyone listened to them? @mikey8811 - It is my understanding that the SL line was meant to be budget/entry level, not providing near the sound quality of the Matrix HD or even the older Magnum MA.@hiendmmoe - I do have Matrix HD 38 interconnects, but didn't notice quite t... | |
| MIT Matrix rev 60 speaker cables. Has anyone listened to them? Hiendmo - where are you located ? | |
| JBL 4367 shoutiness remedies? As for another electronics suggestion, JBL used to use Mark Levinson to demo their higher end speakers. Finally, you don't mention cables; I would recommend you consider Transparent or MIT as a possible match. Good luck. | |
| JBL 4367 shoutiness remedies? If you are handy at all with a soldering iron, I would change out the parts in the crossover to higher quality. Ask the dealer or JBL directly for the crossover diagram/schematic. Should be pretty easy to find cap and inductor values. Seems I’ve r... | |
| MIT Matrix rev 60 speaker cables. Has anyone listened to them? I have a pair of the Matrix 60 HD biwire. Just outstanding. Should be required equipment with Wilson speakers. I stumbled onto a pair at a great price so while still not cheap, made it easier. They really are like a significant component upgrade, ... | |
| High Powered Holographic Amplifiers We need Bo to chime in and talk 3 dimensional soundstage. ;-D | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? @djones51 - I would recommend "Evidence That Demands A Verdict" | |
| Magico Mini 2 Haven't heard them personally, but for a while there, many people that heard them said they were in the top 5 speakers in the world. A "magic" that catapulted them into the upper realm. Lots of speakers in that range, but I would lean to the Mini ... |
