Magico S1 owners - speaker cable suggestions
I own Magico S5's and use Jorma Prime cables in my system which sound smooth, natural/organic, harmonically rich and overall neutral in tonal balance. The Primes also have a touch of warmth. Jorma Unity or Origo would be a good match with your KWA...

Charles, no argument about this being a free and open forum, that's why members like Usermanual and I are free to express our opinion, right? I only object to members who promote products for the express purpose of attracting more readers to their...

07-29-14: mbovairdUsermanual/Melbguy1 - I like to change gear and try different things in my room. Isn't that the best way to really know if something works or not? Since I don't have any dealers within 200 miles of me, I have to buy, try and move...

07-28-14: UsermanualAren’t you the guy from audio shark who keeps changing speakers like I change socks? So you discover the high-efficacy, SET world? It has been around for some time you know, and yes, it has its charm and can work well as an off...

Charles, I don't share your view that Wolf thought I was "kidding around". He is an adult. He made a choice and knew exactly what he was saying. Only a sick individual makes fun of someone's grief.Thanks tube for your condolences.

I just wanted other members to know what Wolf_garcia is really like and to not be fooled by him. I contacted him privately to explain my recent behavior in this thread, and pleaded with him to lay off me as I have been under a lot of stress after ...

I became sarcastic only after being incited because of my stated preference toward SS gear in a thread heavily defended by tube guys. People know they can push my buttons and incite this kind of reaction in me our of sheer frustration, that's why ...

Frogman, for someone accusing me of being sarcastic, you did a pretty good Pearl Harbor job.

Jwn, given the level of your system I expected you to exhibit more maturity than chiming in with the sole motivation of inciting a flame thread. And no I refuse to bite.

Snopro, yeah all i'm essentially saying is, for me there was life after tubes. I really didn't think i'd find an amp which had all the desirable qualities of a high end SS amp as well as valve amp, and yet be so beguiling and musical. I have owned...

Snopro, my earlier comment was in response to what I saw as a ridiculously biased comment which lacked objectivity by Wolf_Garcia, nothing to do with the OP's original comments. It's straight forward really, Charles took issue with me (and not for...

Wolf, i'll take flack as good as I give it, so i'll let you "mirthless" comment go through to the keeper. But is your opening statement meant to be ironic? "All SS amps (other than hybrids) are 100% guaranteed to not use tubes. They excell at that...

Charles, I think it's time to stop playing cop on this forum . If you want to be a moderator, nominate to be one, otherwise leave members to participate freely in this forum. If Wolf_garcia wants to express a view on SS vs Tube amps, so too should...
