| Magico Q7 . . . wow Wslam, Good to read. I completely agree with your comment about "bloom". The speakers should get out of the way. In fact, I think the whole system should get out of the way. Those who want a bad recording to sound good will have to accept some col... | |
| Static on Vinyl Thanks, very interesting. I guess that would not be good for speaker surrounds, belts on turntables, and the cartridge suspensions you mentioned. I imagine it is a slow process. I plan to research it some more. | |
| Magico Q7 . . . wow Wslam,That's an interesting report. I thought you had given up on Magico :^) Have you heard any of the other Q's, or is Q7 the first Magico you've heard since your old Minis? I really like the Q3 and would love to get the chance to hear the Q7. Wh... | |
| Best Cart for Delphi VI with SME V tonearm Dream, Email me at peterayer@comcast.net. | |
| Static on Vinyl Bydlo, I was not aware that ionized air makes cartridge suspension rubber decay faster. Could you please elaborate on this? Thanks. | |
| Best Cart for Delphi VI with SME V tonearm I used to use an Air Tight PC1 on my SME V. It was well balanced with good body and weight, and plenty of detail. Not as lean and ultra detailed as some and not as warm and forgiving as others. It struck a good balance. I found it to be an excelle... | |
| going Pass Labs, do I need "Class A " ? So Unsound, I think I now understand you. Given roughly $15,000, the XA100.5 has less control at the upper and lower frequency extremes than does the X600.5? I was not aware of that.French_fries, I agree there certainly is a reason for having the ... | |
| going Pass Labs, do I need "Class A " ? French_fries, So you haven't actually heard these amps? Why comment then?Unsound, If you mean by "dollar for dollar: yes" one should buy the Class A Pass Labs amps, then I would tend to agree, though I'm sure there are situations where someone wou... | |
| going Pass Labs, do I need "Class A " ? French_fries, Are you saying the XA.5 amps have less control at the frequency extremes than do the X.5 amps? I always thought it was more about bias into class A and the distortion at the crossover point between the positive and negative halves of... | |
| dedicated power line for audio equipment I have three dedicated 20 amp circuits, one for each amp and one for the front end/rack components. From the panel I use three JPS Labs In-Wall cables terminated directly into Furutech IEC connectors bypassing outlets/connections completely. Two a... | |
| Practicality of footers to isolate turntables. Hello Dan,I have the passive Vibraplane which requires a few strokes from a bicycle pump every week to maintain it's height and level. It is untethered as you say, but I'm actually considering getting a couple of active Vibraplanes with a compress... | |
| Practicality of footers to isolate turntables. I would recommend the Minus K or Vibraplane. I believe with teh Minus K, the object being placed on it needs to be centered for proper balancing and isolation. This is not an issue with Vibraplane.The Vibraplane took my unsuspended table to a whol... | |
| Pass Aleph 5 vs. Pass XA 30.5 / 60.5 Yes. I have owned the Aleph 3, 5, 2, XA 160, XA100.5 and now the XA160.5. The Aleph 2 was substantially better than the Aleph 5 and the XA.5 series is a whole different level. I have not owned the 30.5 or 60.5, but I heard the 30.5 with my speaker... | |
| Good speakers under 10K. I recommend a used pair of Magico V2. Excellent resolution, transparency and extension. You asked for GOOD. IMO, these are GREAT. And at used prices, they are a superb value. Truly high end. | |
| Turntable speed accuracy HI Lewm, the Fieldpiece is powered by three AAA batteries. I will accept your proposition that I don't know for sure that the platter remained at a constant speed during the trial. I do know that within the resolving capabilities of my eyes, the n... |
