| Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it? @fai_v I don’t know what type of device you are looking to bypass the fuse in. But I can tell you from experience that if you have Magnepan speakers and want to bypass the fuse with Mike Powell’s silver tube upgrade, it is safe. Just be sure when ... | |
| Paypal Changes for 2022 I got my 1099 for 2021. The solution mulifold: 1. Going forward only use PayPal friends and family. Buyer loses buyer protection. But seriously, how much protection is PayPal going to give the buyer? I suspect not much. The real protection I have... | |
| Thinking of taking the plunge. So if you already have a SPDIF coaxial non-USB DAC and you want to stream, I agree with the used BlueSound Node 2i. It’s reasonably inexpensive, only has SPDIF coax out and you can stream a multitude of platforms through it. If you want Roon, then... | |
| Unity in cable manufacturers? I haven’t done any testing on this and I only have my system and common sense to go by. But here are my thoughts: 1. Yes. It is system dependent. 2. But aside from that I think that it may not matter that all your cables are of the same maker an... | |
| Inflation Here is the good (sort of) news: When a manufacturer raises the MSRP on something you already own, the used market value of that gear just went up. Remember that next time you sell your gear. | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer @mikepowellaudio As someone who values justice and fairness and not making unfair and unwarranted assumptions I have the following to say: I have done business with Mike Powell on two occasions since I got back into this hobby several years ago.... | |
| Jimmy Two-Times is Back!!!!!!!!!!! What? What? | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer @vuch I agree that Mike is very helpful. Yes. For some he can be an acquired taste. I don’t have any experience with McIntosh yet. So I can’t comment on his comments about Mac. But I do disagree with what he said about Magico. They are some of th... | |
| Spotify HiFi If Spotify Hifi doesn’t work with Roon it is of no use for me. I have already discontinued Tidal because I prefer Qobuz over Tidal MQA. So Spotify would have to compete against Qobuz for me and be controlled by Roon. If no Roon integration, I am ... | |
| Audiogon is becoming the hub for scammers. I believe in personal accountability and responsibility. You are responsible for your decisions. Take responsibility. | |
| Slow used market right now? I have had regular sales the last 4 months or so. So I wouldn’t say things are slow. At least not yet. If you are finding things aren’t selling check your listing, photos and make sure your pricing is competitive with the usual benchmarks. | |
| Magico vs the world @henry201 Some questions regarding your A5s: 1. Do you use them with subwoofers? 2. Please clarify what feet and flooring you have them on. For instance, spikes and pads on hard wood floor, or Isoacoustics feet, etc? 3. Did you A-B them against... | |
| Do I really need an " Audio Grade Network Switch "? I think it is best to consider your system as a system. I believe that a lot of things in a rig can benefit the whole system. So a good network switch can help your system if you stream and use Roon a lot. But you will need to have similar quality... | |
| Magico vs the world It’s been a while since I posted here. Back then I had two rigs. One of them with Magnepan 1.7i. The other with Magico A3s. I sold the Maggies. I have the A3s. I am wondering about the Magico A5s. Does anyone here have the A5s? What are your impre... |
