| Room setup Questions: Small Room with Magnepan MMG Red2:Thanks for your response! I have a couple follow-up questions:1.) I figured that I'd leave the blinds on the window to act as a sound diffusor, to maybe counteract the squareness of the room. What do you think about this?2.) I'm posting anoth... | |
| Room setup Questions: Small Room with Magnepan MMG 550dok:Thanks for your reply. Here are a few responses to your reply:- Yes, I was thinking about having the chair facing the window if I put the desk between the speakers. Since the desk is 30" deep, I could pull the Maggies further out and then m... | |
| Large Classical Record Dealers So, I'm right in assuming the digital recordings are inferior? | |
| Large Classical Record Dealers Thank you everyone for your responses. Any recommendations on Brendel playing Mozart? I've seen a couple of Philips' pressings on Ebay, but I noticed in the upper left corner of the LP, often the word "digital" can be found... so I've steered clea... | |
| Large Classical Record Dealers Rushton:I have a question specifically about collecting versus listening. I am not interested in collecting really at all. However, I find it difficult to choose between various pressings. For example, I found on Ebay "Beethoven-W.Schneiderhan DGG... | |

| New Amplifier: Bryston 4B ST or Pass Aleph 5 oops, perhaps I didn't mean the LS-5, as that's rather outside my budget ;)I'd definitely like the following:- balanced in/outs- remote- 12v trigger- all tube gain stages throughout- tube phono stageAny takers under $1000? ;) | |
| New Amplifier: Bryston 4B ST or Pass Aleph 5 After doing a bit more research, will the Bryston 4B ST and the Audio Research LS-5 have impedance matching problems? They will used balanced connections between them, right? Also, it seems that the LS-5 mk2 might be a better match for the Magnepa... | |
| New Amplifier: Bryston 4B ST or Pass Aleph 5 Driver:Thanks for your comments. Remember, that the Magnepans are 4 ohm speakers and perhaps that is why the Pass and Bryston are so often recommended paired together. I haven't seen many people running the Ayre amps with Magnepans, but that doesn... | |
| New Amplifier: Bryston 4B ST or Pass Aleph 5 Thanks everyone.. However, I'm still wanting to know why I should go with a tube pre-amp? Is it due to the type of music I listen to, or my speakers, or is it just "a different sound"? | |
| New Amplifier: Bryston 4B ST or Pass Aleph 5 Dsremer:Maybe a Audio Research LS-3 preamp would work? | |
| New Amplifier: Bryston 4B ST or Pass Aleph 5 Dsremer:Thanks for your reply. May I ask why you would suggest a tube pre-amp with the Bryston 4B/Magnepan combination? I have to admit I have never actually heard a tube pre-amp, so maybe this is something one must just hear to appreciate ;) Do y... |
