| Putting weights on speakers? Just discovered a 8.75 lb vest plate at Rougefittness.comthey are sold in pairs and are black. $56 a pair. I am buying 4 pair for $225. Considering my speakers are $33k, not a big deal. So, would increase the weight from 20 lbs to 36 lbs and have ... | |
| Putting weights on speakers? I am using Tetra 606s. It is especially convenient that they are open baffle on the mid and tweeter and have a separate bass cabinet behind. So I am able to put the weight on the back of the speaker. Much nicer than putting weights on the top of a... | |
| Putting weights on speakers? Wow, I actually thought of putting more weight on them.It seems the speaker weight is very significant. Wish I had a dedicated audio room but we both listen and enjoy. I just put on the Mad Max soundtrack and after about 5 minutes Nina ran in from... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? Thought I might open up a can of worms.One interesting element is the prejudice factor.When so called audiophiles say things like “smoke and mirrors”, “pseudoscience”, “my $50 cable sounds the same”, they are doing nothing more than professing the... | |
| Magico Mini 2 Many speak very highly of the Raidho 1.2 as well. I like the ribbon tweeter. Am not a Magico fan for the reasons mentioned. 1 + SF Extremas are a legendary speaker. And the three way with the back tweeter are excellent. I also love the SF look. | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? I think that any component in a system is dedicated and focused on doing the least damage to the signal from the front end. And even the front end is dedicated to capturing the signal and transmitting it as uncolored as possible. The proverbial “s... | |
| Magico Mini 2 Petzzz,I have never heard the Minis but only know them by reputation.I have heard the Fritz Carrara BEs and know them to be extremely musical and relatively easy to drive. That latter point is quite critical.Surely, to get the most out of Minis, y... | |
| Is it really worth it to get a phono stage over $10k Decided on the $6.9k Zesto Deluxe. Seems other than features, it is very similar to the $12k top line one. Love the sound and the look.The cosmetic is unique and the wife likes it... | |
| Magico Mini 2 The Minis are responsible for launching Magico. However understand that they are”minis”. But their multi layered ply enclosures are unique to this day-even among other Magicos. | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? My OP was not intended to sell anyone one on Stealth cables. Although I cannot hide my prejudice toward them. My goal was to give an example IME of the value of cables. Does it not go without saying that Serguei and I limited our trial rooms to th... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? I only use the Indra case as an example I have experienced. As much as Indra was precedent setting then for $6K now eclipsed by Sakra at $12K.Second rate? It still is my best IC. Maybe someday I can afford a Sakra. | |

| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? Well, I have put down a deposit for my M 60 demo. It should be ready next week. And I should have it week after. Surely, I am excited to get it. One of the poetic comments in a post that gave me real insight into the SET sound was, I paraphrase: “... | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? Many years ago I had an Atma-Sphere S 30. It had beautiful clarity although at that time I felt it leaned toward a SS sound. Because of this animated and informative discussion, I have come to much better understand the qualitative elements that m... | |
| Is it really worth it to get a phono stage over $10k I actually owned a Sao Win table and strain gauge decades ago. It never worked. Sent it back to Sao with the preamp and he and it disappeared and never answered my calls... but that is another story. The Soundsmith Strain Gauge seem like a logical... |
