| Interconnects That's a nice setup. If you can save up a bit more, I would recommend checking out the new Jorma Duality cables from Sweden. Duality replaces the previous No.2 model & has twin runs of cable for positive & negative. Jorma cables in a word ... | |
| Daedalus Athena david121,321 posts11-12-2016 12:58am I am not a fan of Magico either, too dry and analytical for my tastes, though I can see the attraction. Daedalus work with SS and Tubes. The company has always, as far as I know, Demo’d the speakers with Modwr... | |
| Closest to pass labs int 250 or x250.8 A 2nd hand Vitus SIA-025 would be a compelling option up against the other amps mentioned above; liquid, smooth, organic class A sound & plenty of power & control to drive a moderately inefficient load. The only issue is they rarely come u... | |

| Last CD player? There is a guy selling an Accuphase DP-600 here for $6.5k which would be a very nice, reliable & great sounding player for a long time, however the seller has no f/back on A’gon, and does not specifically state if this example is a local or gr... | |
| help buying irs beta Be sure to check the Emim’s diaphragms for ripples and burnt or broken traces (the traces are the aluminium strips running down the ribbon); excessive ripples and any damage to the traces is a sign of wear or abuse. Similarly, check the Emit ribbo... | |
| 2.0 Stereo speakers on a $2000 budget? Based on your budget & listening preferences I would check out this pair of refurbished Infinity RS 2.5's, asking $1995. They have Graz emims, new Watkins dual voice coil woofers, refurbed crossovers, binding posts, re-done cabinets. They shou... | |
| Frequency response to 100k +/_ 1.5db? Lol, nice work Unsound! | |
| Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale? "Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale?"...because they have cheap cabinets and are massively over-priced (i.e: waste of money). | |
| Frequency response to 100k +/_ 1.5db? The 19mm Accuton diamond tweeter used in the Eidolon diamond is rated to 100kHz. I assume the reference to +/- 1.5db refers to the tolerance of the driver pair matching, since I don't think I've ever seen a speaker response curve measure that flat. | |
| Record weights Well the best is probably the Durand record weight which weighs 550g, but costs $3500US! I also like the Combak TU-812MX “Million” Maestro Analog Record Clamp which weighs 360g, but again not cheap ($3kUS). I own a few Stillpoints Ultra LPI’s whic... | |
| speakers on pallet There is no right or wrong answer, but FYI, my last two pairs of floor standing Magico speakers shipped in separate palletized crates in the upright position, with my current S5 Mk2’s shipping with castor feet for easy unloading, however Magico us... | |
| Marten Coltrane I owned a pair of Coltrane Alto large stand mounts which have similar sensitivity to the older model Coltrane (87db). With the carbon/kevlar sandwich cabinet and Accuton drivers, the Alto's sound very pure, well damped & fast like an electrost... | |
| What are the best speakers for 80's hard rock? For Vintage speakers, i'm going to vote for the Infinity IRS Gamma. You can't beat physics; with 4 x 12" Watkins dual voice coil woofers, the Gamma's get down to 15Hz & pound! |
