| Keeping backup equipment? If you can afford it, hang onto your "emergency" gear. If your car needs tires, brakes a new fuel pump, and a tune up, then sell it and take care of more pressing things with that money. Let's face it, getting to work is the absolute most import... | |
| Magico compared to Tannoy Magico... That's top notch stuff. On YouTube, there is this fella who has a channel called Jay's Audio Lab, and he has a pair of M6s that are super, now that they are fully seasoned. Look up his channel, and if you are into Gyphon and Pass gear... | |
| User Error Disaster You blew up your amp? I think you did yourself a favor. It's time to upgrade dude - hah! You wouldn't wear shirts that old would you? As for what to get, NAD, Schiit, PS Audio, Anthem, and a whole host of goodies are out there. How about a DI... | |
| Cleaning house ~ Completely unclear on values if any Rotel is "better than the average bear" audio gear, sorta like NAD I think. Although, my audio gear dealer got the new Rotel "Michi" preamp and I gotta say, it does not sound like your run of the mill Rotel stuff. It's not a Pass XP-32 or ARC Re... | |
| Soundstage Watch this YouTube video from Dynaudio. It's got some interesting info in it. You have great equipment, although, if I had your equipment, I'd choose a speaker from Focal, Von Schweikert, B&W, Wilson, etc. Some bookshelf Dynaudio speakers w... | |
| Magicos! I acknowledge you different Magico Speakers, but this might be helpful to you...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAjtKstkIg8 | |
| When did you most enjoy the music? Oh, some jazz stuff like Peter White, Basia, Sade, Najee, Keiko Matsui, Fore Play on a lazy Saturday afternoon with some ice tea is good stuff right there! | |
| Holographic Soundstage ? A little late to the party here... I am a big fan of Pass Labs equipment; this holographic imaging you are speaking of is in abundance with a good spec Pass line stage. I have a 3 box Pass line stage (X0.2) connected to my Aleph 1.2 mono blocks ... | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo Well, if you're a rich dude like Bernie Madoff, Michael Milken, Ken Lay, Ivan Boesky, Jeff Skilling and Donald Trump, no problem, you can use one's ill gotten gains to enjoy the good life. Hah! | |
| How far over the limit can I go Just call Upscale Audio, a very big dealer in bottles (tubes), and buy the bottles from him. If you've ever wanted to tube roll, here is your chance to have a bit of audio fun. Next, buy a multimeter along with a small screwdriver, and bias the ... | |
| Speakers The single most critical component Frankly, all components are important; in a system, a stereo system, it is the system that brings sonic enjoyment. Have a weak part even in a top notch system, and the system is only as good as the less than stellar component. Here is my story..... | |
| What are Your Favorite Tweeters? Focal (JM Lab) - Their inverted dome tweeter. I have a pair of JM Lab Mezzo Utopia speakers, which uses a single front firing inverted dome tweeter, and the extension, detail, and smooth sound is very catching. I also have a pair of Von Schweike... | |
| A bit of an epiphany...with humble embarrassment Nice job Vinylspin. Big floor standing speakers, like you say, need to be moved away from the wall. The bigger (the speaker), the more distance the speaker needs. As the saying goes, the room is the "third" speaker box. | |
| Which amplifier should i buy The peanut gallery (me) recommends Pass Labs XA-60.8 amps; these are Class A amps; I base my recommendation on the following: There is a fella named Jay on YouTube (he has a "channel") and he recently acquired a pair of astounding Magico M6 speake... | |
| Reccomend a good preamp for me. Go to a brick and mortar store and listen to it. Go to Stereophile and The Absolute Sound's website and find out what they recommend. Their reviews and description is better than any 5 line description here - mine included, hah!. Then think abo... |
