| Magnepan 3.7i vocals sound harsh 240 into 4 isn't enough for the 3.7i's. Get a Sanders Magtech and be amazed. | |
| Magnepan 3.7i vocals sound harsh Are you using stock jumpers? Your amp probably isn't powerful enough either. | |
| Carver Raven 350 Amps I've been wanting to hear the Carver on my Magnepan 3.7i's. | |
| Magnepan Owners I've blown a fuse in my Magnepans before, so be careful bypassing the fuses. | |
| Linear Power Supply for a DAC Paul Hynes is supposedly the best, but be prepared to wait a year. | |
| Magnepan Owners I replaced the stock jumpers with Empirical Design jumpers and thought there was an improvement. I tried Synergistic Research Red fuses and ended up returning them because I couldn't hear any improvement. | |
| Sanders 10c/d + Magtech + tube preamp I've used an Aesthetix Calypso Signature, ARC Ref5SE, and now an ARC Ref6 with the Sanders Magtech. They all worked well with it. However, I've never tried a solid state preamp with the Sanders so can't comment on how much better or worse a soli... | |
| Groneberg cable good? So the TS Premium sound meatier than the CT-1. They also sound a little bigger in image size. The CT-1 may be a little sweeter sounding in the mids or sparklier. | |
| Groneberg cable good? I tried the Teo GCs and didn't think they were better than my TS Premiums but am testing the HFC CT-1 now against them. | |
| Where to go next, DAC or Preamp Preamp makes a much bigger difference than DAC in my experience. | |
| How do SVS subwoofers compare to REL? I actually had the Audio Kinesis Swarm in my system and compared it against my dual Rythmik F12G's. The Swarm wasn't worth the extra cost over the Rythmiks. | |
| How do SVS subwoofers compare to REL? I had the SVS SB13 Ultra and didn’t think it was better than the Rythmik F12G, so I ended up with two F12Gs with my Magnepan 1.7i’s. Now I have the 3.7i’s.Two subs is much better than one. | |
| Paul Hynes power supply? Expect at least an eight month wait. | |
| Let's talk power cords I think power cables can make a difference, but it depends on the component. For example, I've heard no difference with power cables on my Sanders Magtech but heard big differences on my brother's McCormack amp. | |
| Ayre Codex or Bryston I briefly had a Bryston BDA-2 but didn't compare it to the Codex. I remember I couldn't tell an appreciable difference between it and whatever DAC (probably a Schiit Bifrost Multibit or first generation ODAC) I was using at the time though. |
