| Legacy Focus SE or Magico A3 @david_ten Thanks for your generous words, though I have to respectfully disagree with your suggestion to spend the budget on amplification in lieu of speakers for a couple of reasons. Firstly as I eluded to in my previous post, the OP has plans t... | |
| Legacy Focus SE or Magico A3 @bigkidz I agree with your first comment, and somewhat with your second. However to be fair, the OP did say in an earlier post -“..but as for my amp the Anthem P2 that is staying the MRX is in the process of being replaced with a dedicated preamp“. | |
| What CD Player to replace McIntosh MCD550? Bill, what is your budget? What sound characteristics & features (eg:: sacd, DSD/MQA support) are you wanting from your next player? And what is your accompanying equipment? Cheers. | |
| Delta Sigma DACs Since there is a fairly well delinated debate going on about Sigma Delta dacs vs R2R Multibit dacs, what do folks here think about the Analog Devices AD1955 dac which is a Multibit Sigma-delta dac? | |
| Integrated Amp to match with Magico A3 @eldonfung What you need to do now is go out & audition as many of the (many) amp/speaker combo’s suggested, then report back your findings. That will be of more value than spending all your time reading threads. Listen listen listen as HP wou... | |
| Integrated Amp to match with Magico A3 Thanks very much @bobheinatz 🙂. | |

| hegel h80 or rotel 1570 You might like to check out an Australian company, Redgum Audio which makes some very well made & musical sounding integrated amplifiers. I got to hear their products at the recent Australian International Hifi show in Melbourne & was impr... | |
| What's happened to Taters ? Thanks for the welcome back @jafant @gpgr4blu! | |
| What's happened to Taters ? @tomic601 Thanks for your kind words. I didn’t mean to imply you assigned any nic name to me. Anyway that’s all in the past now. Although I have responded to a couple of Magico threads since I re-joined A’gon, I’m trying to town it down. Suffice t... | |
| What's happened to Taters ? @gpgr4blu @tomic601 I recently re-joined the forum as your’e probably aware, hence this has been my first opportunity to reply. I’ve taken your feedback on board, and re-reading some of my earlier posts from a few years ago, I see I was a bit over... | |
| Hi i have platinum audio bookshelf monitors that do not sound right... I read JA’s review of the Solo’s for Stereophile. Those speakers are rated at 84db @ 6 ohms with a 5 ohm floor. The Cary SET amp JA tested was struggling to drive the Solo’s, and his conclusion was they "need a lot of amplifier watts to come alive... | |
| Best choice for approx. $3000 cartridge on VPI JMW 10, TNT III With that budget, you can buy a nice mc cartridge for sure. Personally i’d recommend the Miyajima Shilabe cart at or near that price point. I’ve heard that cart on a Transrotor Fab Bob tt with an SME tonearm & it has lovely rich tone, resoluti... | |
| Does the environment affects on quality of sound I’m guessing English is your second language? as it was hard to decipher your question. But as I understand it, you’re basically asking how important is room acoustics? And how do these products stack up? Firstly many audiophiles subscribe to the ... | |
| Hi i have platinum audio bookshelf monitors that do not sound right... To better assist you, can you specify which model Platinum Audio monitors you have? |
