| Magico Q7 . . . wow Looks like another S model. These guys are on their way to having two complete lines of speakers. Looks like their is some trickle down effect. | |
| Record Cleaning Machine - Loricraft PRC-3 vs. 4? Great news, Dan! Join the club. I assume you will be using the AIVS fluid system. How many steps? I added the No. 15 as a pre soak to the standard 3-step plus an extra final pure water rinse. Great results. Enjoy listening to more of the music fro... | |
| Review: Pass Labs XA100.5 Amplifier Hello Alfa,I did indeed switch to the XA160.5. My speakers, 86dB, 4 ohm, needed more current/power for demanding music. I have always heard improvements as I've moved up the Pass power curve. Aleph 3 to Aleph 5, then Aleph 2 then XA160 then XA100.... | |
| SME 312S versus SME V-12 Hello Albert,I apologize for the late response. I just confirmed by looking at my V-12 that indeed it has removable cartridge leads. I wish SME would dispense with these but I assume it is an attempt to save the customer some money if he breaks th... | |
| Magico Q7 . . . wow EBM and I are selling our MIMI II now. Where do we buy Peaks? | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Thanks for the thread and congratulations. I'm curious how the "vibrations from the drive are drained away from the platter and hence the stylus". With the rim drive contact, surely some vibrations hit the platter.I read that someone is developing... | |
| Thoughts from THE Show, is $29k the new $10k? Suteetat, I must not have been clear enough or you misunderstood my post. I agree with you that I have rarely heard a system sound really good at a show. And coming home is a treat for me also. Nevertheless, it is fun to see/hear the latest stuff ... | |
| Turntable Platform - What do you place your TT on It will be at the limit of your budget, but I would recommend a very solid DIY shelf (concrete blocks/ maple shelf) and then a used passive Vibraplane for $1000. If you can find one, short of a Halcyonics or Minus K, there is no better isolation p... | |
| Thoughts from THE Show, is $29k the new $10k? I agree with Tpreaves. Excellent observation. Set up and "the room" are also frequently used at shows to excuse less than excellent sound.Regarding all of the $29K speakers. Just wait 18 months. Some will be here for $15-19K. The problem is that t... | |
| Magico Q7 . . . wow I saw that too, Mapman. The Avantgarde Trio is one horn system I've always wanted to hear, but I haven't had the chance. Their value has really dropped, but I think it is because of a lack of US support and that they really are a niche product. I'... | |
| Difference between Pass Labs XA160.5 an X600.5? Great question for Pass Labs or Reno HiFi. You should try contacting them directly. I have the XA160.5 driving the Magico Mini 2 (4ohm, 86dB). It is a very difficult load but my 160.5 seem to be more than powerful enough. My room is only 16' X 15'... | |
| Magico Q7 . . . wow That was rather funny. | |
| Granit amp stands are they killing my sound? I get your point Syntax. Very funny post! Explain what is between your amps and your Vibraplanes. Also between your MS and Basis turntables and their Vibraplanes. Do you think a hard ball or point sounds different from some rubber footer/insert un... | |
| Magico Q7 . . . wow I just looked up Suteetat system with the Q3 and it got me thinking about the Q7. I wonder if there will be second versions of the Q3 and Q5 with one woofer above the tweeter as in the new Q7. Perhaps the technological advances of the newest Q7 fl... | |
| Why does my system sound so shrill and distorted? Ohnofiasco, have you experimented with cartridge loading. What you describe could be the result of too high a setting. If adjustable, lower it to the next lower setting and listen. If its better, lower it again until you find the best setting.SRA/... |
