| Anyone here with Magico A3 driven by Bel Canto Ref600's? Whoa! Can we return to civility here? Opinions are just that -- opinions -- no need for personal insults.On to the question. I have Magico A3's, which I drive with a Krell FPB 300 cx, a Class A amp. Have not heard the Bel Canto Ref 600's, but year... | |
| Audience Au24se vs Au24sx cables I am using the Au24SX speaker cables with my 6-month old Magico A3's, and the AU24SX XLR IC's running from my VTL 7.5 iii preamp to Krell FPB 300cx power amp. It took a while for everything to burn in and settle down (especially the speakers) bu... | |
| High Current VS Dedicated Source Cables : Audioquest I am using a HC Hurricane on my preamp and it sounds great. I suspect you can use the HC cord on anything, but should not use the Source cord on an amp that is HC. Neal | |
| AQ Firebird vs Hurricane Power Cord Comparo This has not been my experience, folkfreak (great screen name!). I have had the Hurricane PC for about a month (50-75 hours) and have recently noticed an audible improvement in transparency, realism and bass performance. I have not changed anythin... | |
| AQ Firebird vs Hurricane Power Cord Comparo Bob,I agree with you in principle, but every now and then there is a significant change in design or technology or a combo of the two which leads to an easily audible improvement in performance of an audio component. Teflon capacitors in preamps i... | |
| AQ Firebird vs Hurricane Power Cord Comparo Thanks, Bob. Agree with allowing settling in before doing anything else, BUT, obsession arrived a few decades ago and will not leave!Neal | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... I took delivery of my A3's about 10 days ago and they are breaking in nicely. Last description I would ever use is "dark," at least with my setup. I find them lively, transparent, natural and with deep, taut bass. A little thin up on top but this ... | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... I auditioned the A3's at Rhapsody Music in NY, driven by a Constellation SS integrated amp. "Dark" is the last description I would use. They were so alive, natural and realistic, with amazing, accurate bass, I ordered a pair on the spot, to be de... | |
| HC Power cords for tight spaces -- unicorn hunting? I have used Nordost Valhalla and LessLoss Signatuure from the wall to my Audience Power Conditioner and had no problems.. Sound was excellent, and my amp is no mouse -- 330w/per channel Krell FPB 300 cx. And you don't need to wrestle with these co... | |
| Speaker Cables for Magico Thanks to all. Many excellent suggestions, with a tilt toward Siltech and some SR. I get the sense of what will work and what will not. I also may try Audience SX cables. I have the XLR IC's and they are superb.Cheers.Neal | |
| Speaker Cables for Magico To rhg88,I have used a Krell FPB 300cx in my main rig for 15+ years and love its power and sound. Unless it interacts poorly with the A3's -- which I doubt -- that is what I will be using.Neal | |
| Best digital cable for Aurender N10 I have used many digital cables over the years. Currently, I use a Nordost Odin. You have not given a price range, but it is VERY expensive and better than anything I have ever used. Prior to the Odin, I was very happy with the Stealth Sextet. Oth... | |
| New in 2018 The new Kacey Musgraves is excellent. I am not a country music fan but this has almost no "twang": just solid, pop-folk songs. And she can sing.Neal | |
| Need to Replace Transport I have an excellent condition CEC TL-1X modded by RAM and maintained by True Sound in CA, which I have not used for years. Price within your range. If interested, let me know and we can talk off-line. The transport is a beauty.Neal | |
| Simple Question re Tidal Playback Thanks for the responses.It is an old, first generation Bryston BDP-1 which still works fine. The more recent BDP's support Tidal streaming.I want to try out Tidal first the old-fashioned, wired way before I move on to a streaming solution. I actu... |
