| Vandie 1c or Maggie MMG? I have an idea!! Buy the Vandy's used here on Audiogon, then order the Maggie's from Magnepan. That will work since when the don't come for sale here very often and when they to they go in about 10 minutes, and the price used for the Vandy's is cl... | |
| Vandie 1c or Maggie MMG? Maggies no doubt. If you want more bass, just add a higher power ampliphier, and no speaker will image better than a Maggie. I love Vandy's but dude.... not a contest in my book. The 1c is not a great speaker, it is not the little brother to the e... | |
| Turn your Ipod into a Wireless Music Server/Remote if you are amazed by that, then buy and AppleTV, not much more than the iPod, and hook it up to a DAC (does your Wadia allow external sources to use it's DAC), that will really blow you away, and you can use it wirelessly. | |
| what happened to Cary 500MB? If you are interested contact Kevin at Upscale audio, if there are any left at Cary he may be able to hook you up, he is their biggest dealer. | |
| JBL Summit L300 or Klipsch Cornwall for Jadis ? It may be opposites attract, but as a diehard Maggie-lover-owner, I have somehow always liked the sound Klipsch classic series. Love the Cornwalls. Go with those. | |
| Need dynamic DAC I had the Benchmark before the Havana, and in my system (Maggies 3.6, Cary 500MB, Cary SLP98P F1) it sounded a bit bright. I think the Havana, and now the Bel Canto are better with my system, due to it's inherent tendancy to brightness. In a warme... | |
| Need dynamic DAC I have not heard the Paradisea, sorry. I bought the Havana, the next up in the line, on recommendation and was never dissapointed. The Bel Canto is more dynamic than the Havana was, but I am not sure it was necessiarily better. Havana was a bit wa... | |
| best way to connect rel storm 3 to NAD T765 A/V re The Rel will take both, so do it that way and you get the best of both music and home theater. | |
| Isolation Platform for Clearaudio Performance I have a Performance, and bought a Cloud 10 from Ginko, and the sound is DEAD quiet. I never had the turntable set up without it, so I can't really compare, but it sounds great to me, and it's on a heavy, but moveable rack, so I couldn't be happie... | |
| what happened to Cary 500MB? BTW, they have usually gone for $3000 - 4000, I have never seen a set go for less than $3k. That would be a great deal. | |
| what happened to Cary 500MB? I have a pair and they are the best amps I have ever had, beyond a doubt. I bought them on Audiogon about 5 months ago. I didn't know they had been discountinued, but I was wondering why they didn't have them at CES. If you have hard to drive spea... | |
| Need dynamic DAC I loved the MHDT Labs Havana, great all around sound, very smooth, and I have the Bel Canto DAC3 now and it is VERY dynamic. I highly recommend either of those over the others I have tried in the last year or so, and there have been many!!PS - I h... | |
| Recommended systems - components for Car Stereo with a 2 seat sports car, that is a convertible, you need to give up on quality and go for quantity if you want to hear it with the wind noise. You need spl's to enjoy music with a top down. Dynaudio speakers and McIntosh amps are available, but w... | |

| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? yes they did do that. I live/work in Houston and Merill's energy trading shop (they bought it from Koch Industries in '04) is here, and I still have a lot of friends there, and yes they did by toys. Their building is 20 Greenway Plaza and right in... |
