| Sanders Magtech versus Spectron Musician 3 Mk2 I have the 3.7i with the Sanders Magtech and an Aesthetix Calypso Signature and the highs are not shrill at all. I’m not running the resistors at all but am using Empirical Audio jumpers. I’m also using GiK Q7D diffusers and Monster Bass Traps wit... | |
| Sanders Magetch Amp I had an early version of the Odyssey Kismet in Stratos monoblocks and decided to try the Sanders Magtech because my local dealer had one on consignment. Two of my friends came over, and none of us expected a significant difference. All three of... | |
| Magnepan 1.7s in a 10x13' dedicated room? In general, I would not recommend Magnepans in small rooms. I went from having my Maggies 4' off the front wall to 9' & 7' (uneven front wall), and the difference was massive. You really hamstring the speaker by having them close to the fron... | |
| Adding a 2nd Sub to a 2 Channel System Two subs will sound substantially better than one because you won't be able to localize where the bass is coming from. | |
| Magnepan 20.7 +1 on the Sanders Magtech driving Maggies well. Supposedly, the Merrill Veritas monoblocks are even better. | |
| Speakers in the 5-6K$ region & their components Magnepan 3.7i if you can get them 5 feet off the front wall and five feet apart or more. | |
| Upgrading power cord.. proven upgrade? or crap? I just tried the Shunyata Zitron Alpha HC on my Sanders Magtech and can tell no difference between it and my cheap, Groneberg. I emailed Roger Sanders, and he says that audiophile power cords are a hoax. | |
| Single ended vs xlr balanced I'm using an Aesthetix Calypso Signature Pre and a Sanders Magtech. Aesthetix recommends balanced and Sanders recommends single-ended. They both sound the same to me. | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT The non-CT Treo. I heard the Treo immediately before at my brother's house. | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT I just heard this speaker for the first time and thought it was very nice. It's definitely a step up from the Treos. | |
| Upgrading power cord.. proven upgrade? or crap? I wasn't a believer until I had a Argento Flow Master Reference connected to my Sanders Magtech amp. It definitely was better than my Groneberg power cable. | |
| Is upgrading pre worth it? bombaywalla,I think the Odyssey Kismet does 200w into 8 ohms but would agree that it probably wasn’t powerful enough to drive the Maggies. I bought the Aesthetix after I switched to the Magtech. Is it better than the Candela? Sure, but not even cl... | |
| Is upgrading pre worth it? In my experience, the amp makes a much bigger impact than the preamp. I was using an Outlaw 975 as my DAC and pre and then switched to an Odyssey Candela and Schiit Bifrost Multibit DAC. There was a difference, but it wasn't huge. I then "upgra... | |
| $1600. preamp Odyssey Candela is very good for the price. | |
| A New Superstar Power Cord How does the LessLoss Reference compare to the Shunyata Zitron Alpha? |
