| Check This Out! Don’t mean to nitpick, but the manual states "just short" of 2 billion micro farads. "The Model II is the answer to a persisting question: what happens as power delivery approaches perfection? The Model II physically separates the power supply, ... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! Regarding your comment about Gaia footers, I was advised by someone whose opinion I value, that the Gaia footers are not the best choice for Maggies. He recommended Auva speaker isolators by Stack Audio for carpeted floors. But I have not tried t... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! Well there is the post I have been waiting for- good stuff @arafiq Wilson Benesch huh? I thought for sure they might have been some style of open baffle. edit: Ok, just looked up the Wilson Benesch "infrasonic generators"- wow! you must be getti... | |
| Acoustic Panel Help @audiodidact My suggestion is what a few have already suggested: get the tried and true easy and cheap diffusion: fake ficus trees- they would cover up those wires nicely and add some sonic benefits. | |
| ??? Full Loom vs Mix ??? @average_joe If those are base gen 5 musiclinks they are about $200, where the Frey 2 are about $800 used prices, so not surprising there was a noticeable difference. The Transparent Ultra gen 5 compared to the Frey 2 would be more apples to ap... | |
| DSD coming to Qobuz streaming? Well I just stumbled across something I haven’t seen before: a Qobuz album (via Roon or LMS squeezelite) where each track states "DSD Mastering". I am not saying it is better or worse, I don’t have a clue, but just pointing out it is the first tim... | |
| Do speakers need to be re-broken in? @arafiq I was wondering also if when you demoed these Eufrodites if they were well broken in? Because you stated you thought the treble was a little rolled off if I recall correctly. | |
| Do speakers need to be re-broken in? @arafiq No worries! No apologies for any hi-jacking necessary! I am just wanting those who have been reading your Magneplanar adventures to be able to get all the information there and not miss anything. Actually I think that thread you started... | |
| Do speakers need to be re-broken in? @ghdprentice Interesting speakers... I really like the way all the woofers are hidden. Yes, they are part horns, part dipoles, maybe part transmission line? I am no expert in the matter of speaker design or definitions, but yes they are quite... | |
| Do speakers need to be re-broken in? @arafiq Good to hear. I never wanted to try subs with mine, I was happy for 15 years without them, but I'll admit if I went from these Horning's and then tried the Maggies I would definitely think something was missing- you know, all the stuff bel... | |
| Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier @jfrmusic But right now my system sounds wonderful. I have no issues or inclination to spend more money. Well there is your answer. If you are enjoying things the way they are, and have no curiosity to discover if things could be better, the... | |
| ??? Full Loom vs Mix ??? I don’t use equipment from the same manufacturer The wiring in your components is not all the same now Excellent points. | |
| Do speakers need to be re-broken in? @jl35 Yes, I have. I am pleased to report there have been huge changes. I was going to wait another couple of days to post this, but since you asked.... Surprisingly they have changed so much I question as to whether they were ever used. But I ... | |
| ??? Full Loom vs Mix ??? I’ll add it does make sense to me that a manufacturer suggests to use a full loom of their product. We bought their cable, we think it sounds great, someone there or a team of people must have good ears to be able to voice this cable to sound this... | |
| ??? Full Loom vs Mix ??? I have a mix of quality cables most of which I have found used for about 50% of retail. I have bought some new but never at suggested retail prices. I have a mix of Jorma, Acoustic Zen, Shunyata, Nordost, Zavfino, Silversmith Fidelium. SOtm, DR Ac... |
