| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... @liamowen, Magico’s sealed box design isn’t for everyone. And that’s the beauty of choice. Congrats on your fine Eggleston Works speakers & enjoy them in good health! | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... @alexb76 , I don’t think anyone is suggesting your impression of the A3’s from your audition was not candid. And FWIW I for one would not claim Magico are the best speakers ever made. At this level “best” is a subjective term as we all have differ... | |
| Why is Oppo stopping products. I had an interesting discussion over email with Oppo’s Australian Distributor (Interdyn) recently. They told me that Oppo will only continue to release firmware updates in a limited capacity, focusing primarily on bug fixes and the like. They said... | |
| Awesome new cables from Jorma Design! YW Alectiong. They are terrific cables. Rule of thumb: Origo matches best with tubes, Unity & Prime with solid state, and Statement with well sorted ultra high end systems, I’m currently using a mix of Prime and Statement cables as I mentioned... | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... chandybe2 posts07-08-2018 2:44amHi guys, I am considering buying the A3s but I believe they do not support biwiring/biamping - is that a disadvantage? I thought most speakers in this price bracket would have that capability. Could that be why th... | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... Magico's current line of speakers are so transparent, linear and resolving of micro and macro details, that your ears need time to adjust to what they’re hearing. That also means they honestly reflect what’s fed to them via upstream electronics. R... | |
| Awesome new cables from Jorma Design! Thanks John :). Yes a little birdie told me i'd best steer clear of a certain cable thread, so i'm forewarned ⊙_⊙'. | |
| Awesome new cables from Jorma Design! Cheers Jafant! I answered the earlier part of your question in another thread. I haven’t auditioned the Statement III Concepts pc’s to date, though I have a lot of respect for them. Fyi, Jorma released a new Statement power cable which debuted at ... | |
| Integrated Amp to match with Magico A3 Jafant, If you click on the link above to my review of the Vitus RI-101, my system is displayed in my signature. Cheers. | |
| How much should a person spend to get a decent power conditioner? As others have no doubt already commented, the cheapest way to get clean power and protect against surges/spikes is to install dedicated 20a lines using higher grade Romex or similar wiring back to a dedicated distributor box & ground. You can... | |
| Integrated Amp to match with Magico A3 Cheers @jafant . It’s good to be back. Hopefully I can contribute & help answer questions based on my 30 years experience in this hobby. | |
| Awesome new cables from Jorma Design! Sorry about the late response Alectiong, but I was forced to re-register after it seems I incurred a permanent ban, lol. I think you described the sound signature of the Jorma Statement cables well, however I don’t perceive any leanness paired wit... | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... Alex, I think you answered your own question. As the salesman had to crank the volume up on the tube amp to get decent output, that tells me the A3’s were underpowered. The rolled off top end would be due to dynamic compression. I’m auditioning th... | |
| Best 845 SET mono amps? My friend owns the Absolare SET mono's with the matching SET preamp & I 2nd Triode's comments. They sound sublime driving his Marten Coltrane 3's in his small-medium size listening room with some nice Elrog tubes rolled in. Though in a medium ... | |
| Amplification for Magico S1 (mk i) Within your budget, there are a couple of amps I could suggest to drive the S1’s. The first is an Australian-made amplifier which I first heard at the Australian International Hifi show last year, the Holton Five-Zero-Zero power amp - https://holt... |
