| Magico Comparison From reading this thread I've concluded that Magico is the new Wilson. | |
| Audio Kharma website I finally get it! This is all about the fact that he can't eat bacon and he's envious of other audiophiles who flaunt their love the cured meat. My scorn has now turned to pity. | |
| 10-15k budget in a 6m x 4m room. Please help. If you don't have much experience in selecting or setting up a system and where you live doesn't offer a wide range of choices, then I would recommend you be very conservative and find a dealer who will literally hold your hand through the entire ... | |
| Best speaker for the Spectral DMA 360 series 2 amp I have no idea how Magneplanars would work in your room.The Zu Defs are a little over $10k, while the JBL Synthesis and CARs are closer to $20k. The most cost effective solution would be to pick up a pair of vintage Altec VOTT type loudspeakers an... | |
| Best speaker for the Spectral DMA 360 series 2 amp I think you're going about it wrong and you'll most likely not achieve the great results your equipment is capable of delivering. As a rule you should match your speaker to the room and then match an amp to the speaker. Unless you listen in the ne... | |
| Audio Kharma website Tater, what is the purpose of this thread? You dislike AK, but you seem to spend time there. Rather than posting here, wouldn't your complaints serve a better purpose on AK?Chill out and have a peanut butter and bacon cookie! | |
| How much better is Esoteric K-03 vs K-05? If you were going to buy the K-05, then stop reading about the K-03. If you don't, you'll only be unhappy. I haven't heard either unit, but let's say the 03 is "better" than the 05. Only you can say for yourself whether that sonic difference is wo... | |
| Audio Kharma website Taters, the amount of energy, passion and even "thought" you've put into denigrating AK is more a reflection on you than on AK.Hope you already got your ticket to Baconfest! | |
| Moving from CD to analog If you could not deal with the frustrations of a music server, then you should seriously reconsider whether you want to go vinyl. It is not very user friendly and requires a great deal of attention to optimize. | |
| Chemistry question on aluminum Aluminum melts at 1220˚F, so depending on how hot it is where you live there could be concerns. Just something to be equally paranoid about. | |
| Does Amarra improve sound quality using hard drive Pure Music and Amarra are software designed to run on Apple's OSX platform. If you are not using OSX, then you cannot use either. | |
| Can I Improve Sound--Macbook Pro as Music Server? Put your music files on a separate drive and use a firewire connection. (It's important to use a different bus connection than what your music drive uses). Max out you memory, 4Gb at a minimum. Only use non-data compressed files. Try Pure Music ag... | |
| Modern High end vs. old receiver Frogman, you're taking this thread way too seriously. | |
| Vandy 5a's spider cracks in heads I imagine that the shipping charges for sending the speakers back and forth for even a free repair could be more than the loss of value due to the flaw. You also run the risk of additional damage from faulty handling during shipping. If the flaw i... | |
| Modern High end vs. old receiver Let's say your Kenwood amp can be purchased and tech serviced (replace caps, check connections, eliminate potentiometer noise, etc.) for $200. Are you saying that your modern $10,000 worth of amplification isn't 50x better than the Kenwood? Is tha... |
