| tweeter replacement Magico S5 Oh and get the tweeter from Magico. You spent big money on those speakers for a reason. Do not risk polluting them with sub standard parts. "S--- Happens." | |
| tweeter replacement Magico S5 Guyt, Not to worry. That tweeter electrically is very tough. It will be very hard to over heat it. Make sure you tin the iron as it is heating up. Remove the wires from the old tweeter with the iron. Do not cut them. Re tin the ends with fresh sol... | |
| Spectral amp/preamp Right. The Parasound JC-1 is just as fast and doesn’t blow up if you put someone else preamp on it. It is also watt for watt less than 1/2 the cost.And one more thing. I would not buy a 1955 Zenith from Goodwin’s high end. Unless you spend $500,00... | |
| How do tell when my stylus is too much worn? You look at the very tip through a dissecting microscope. If you see oval shaped flats at the sides of the very tip you are done. There is no other way. I have not tried a USB microscope yet but some use them. The dissecting microscope is nice bec... | |
| Are Martin Logan’s what they used to be? Have your cake and eat it too. Sanders Model 10. There is no modern ML speaker that can keep up with these. Sanders designed the ML curved panel before he left to start his own company. www.sanderssoundsystems.com He is a fascinating guy. Very op... | |

| Tone, Tone, Tone ! The LS 3/5a is a magic little loudspeaker. We listened to them in awe back in the late 70's and they were part of our ultimate apartment system. Sub woofers were just coming around then and I never got a chance to match them up with subs but I can... | |
| Demo'd a few sets of speakers over the past 2 weeks... The 3a signature and Magnepan 3.7i are in the same price range......... | |
| Bridging an amplifier First of all Rasmussen is not an engineer. I believe his degree is in graphic arts. He is a very rich old audiophile who had nothing else do do with his money. Wonderful, any way great audio equipment comes to life is fine by me.Although I am ace ... | |
| Spectral amp/preamp A friend of mine did that and it blew the Spectral amp. Spectral gave him a reason for it but I do not remember what it was. He now runs Mcintosh gear. | |
| Opinions on Magnepans sales/marketing approach to It is very frustrating but few dealers will keep very expensive speakers on the floor because the market is so limited. It is not Magnepan's fault. If they insist on dealers displaying the top of their range they just lose dealers. The dealers tha... | |
