| Used Magico V3 or Rockport Mira 2 You could try contacting Goodwin's High End. They carry both brands. FWIW, I compared directly the Magico V2 to an $18K pair of Rockports (unsure of model name) in the same system at the dealership. I much preferred the V2 in the system on that da... | |
| Armoire between speakers I have a similar situation with a fireplace which is built out from my front wall and is thus between my speakers. It does effect stage depth in the center and makes for some interesting reflections and multiple corners behind the speakers. It obv... | |
| Tonearm alignment question I would recommend correcting the tonearm S2P distance sooner rather than later. You may be causing groove damage with an improperly aligned cartridge.I have a MINT protractor. HIghly recommended. Definitely the best $100 I've spent on my analog ch... | |
| Tweaks such as demagnetizers ionizers for lp's I don't really know if one needs to do both sides. This is just how I've done it without really experimenting more with technique. I'm curious about how others do it. | |
| Tweaks such as demagnetizers ionizers for lp's George, those are great questions and I look forward to reading how Doug and Dan use their devices. I have a bulk tape eraser which I use to demagnetize LPs. After the record goes through my cleaning procedure, I put it in a new inner sleeve and t... | |
| Mono blocks that can provide that golden sound... I also have a pair of XA160.5s. I agree they take some warm up time to sound their best. I turn mine on about 2 hours before I plan to listen. Usually before I start cooking dinner. When I am finished with the dishes, I go and listen to music. Dur... | |
| Tweaks such as demagnetizers ionizers for lp's Lewm, I think you are referring to MikeLevigne and his son-in-law not to Dougdeacon. | |
| Wilson Sophia III vs Sasha Ricred1,Just do an Audiogon or Google search for Jim Smith. He is a veteran in the industry and has a lot to share. Great guy. | |
| Wilson Sophia III vs Sasha I think you will get much better results by addressing your room first. Hire a pro, get some treatment, place the listening seat and speakers then worry about upgrading. The cost/benefit ratio will surprise you, IMO. In the last year, I have spent... | |
| What amp for Q5's? Spectral, Solution, Gryphon Husk,I don't follow. | |
| What amp for Q5's? Spectral, Solution, Gryphon Congratulations on a great pair of speakers.I don't think Magico recommends tubes or even class A Solid State with their speakers, but I would trust my own ears. I don't own the Q series, but do own the old Mini II. It's a difficult load, but I us... | |
| Any other Sony SS-AR1 owners out there? I'm quite cool, thanks, and remain skeptical of your motive here. I heard the SS-AR1 at last year's RMAF in the four-channel Ray Kimber? demo. They had stunning realism. Congratulations Dserota. They are excellent speakers. | |
| New to Turntable - what're involved in playing LP? Hifi,Do you really think analog has less dynamics? I've read that, but it has not been my experience. I don't want to have the same old argument here, but in my collection of older LPs and newer CDs, the former seem more dynamic to me. On the same... | |
| Any other Sony SS-AR1 owners out there? The OP just bought the Sony speakers and writes that he is pleased with them. He wants to read about impressions from other owners of the Sony speaker. Why denigrate the speaker, hijack the thread and then praise Aerials? What does this thread hav... | |
| Thread source for Loricraft RCM's;also seeking f/b Ckniker,I forgot to mention that the level of waste fluid in the jar does effect the vacuum suction on my machine. I try to empty the jar when it is about 1 1/2" full or about when the fluid reaches the bottom of the label on the jar. Also, make s... |
