| Do not buy any Sonus Faber used I agree with Swampwalker. Well stated. | |
| Do not buy any Sonus Faber used I agree it is probably due to grey-market competition for US based dealers and distributers There is a big mark-up on some of these products by the distributer which makes buying overseas for expensive items seem attractive. I ran into this when I... | |
| Magico V3 Sure the Q's sound much better than the V's. However, if one considers a pair of V3's cost $15K used and a pair of Q3's cost $40K new, the question of value enters the picture.If I were to consider trading my Mini2 for the Q1 in a year or so, the ... | |
| Magico V3 I own the Mini2 and drive them with Pass XA160.5. These Magicos do need a lot of good, clean power and I think you have that. I have heard the V2 and V3. I did not like the V3 as much as the Mini2 or the V2, but I really think it was the set up at... | |
| Magico Room at RAMF How good did it sound I agree about the M5 looking a bit odd. They are smaller in person than they appear in photos. I actually like the look of the V3, though the aluminum faceplate should have covered the front edges of the plywood sides, like the Q series baffles do... | |
| Magico V2 / Dynaudio C4 Or find a used pair of Mini II's. There are some deals on the "wooden" Magico speakers right now. They won't be as inexpensive as the V2, but you get what you pay for, especially at current used prices, IMO. | |
| Magico Room at RAMF How good did it sound EBM keeps his comments very pithy. I like that and they are very often, quite funny. I totally agree with Sirspeedy about the Magico MINI. It was designed and built to a very high standard with little regard to cost. Now that it is discontinued, i... | |
| Tweaks such as demagnetizers ionizers for lp's Scratch that! My demagnetizer effects the listeners and how they feel about listening to music, it does nothing for the vinyl. Same as my Acoustic Revive RR-77. | |
| Tweaks such as demagnetizers ionizers for lp's I have a GENEVA brand bulk audio/video tape eraser. I bought it for $99 about ten years ago and don't know if it is still available. It does make a difference. The sound is cleaner/clearer and dynamics are improved. LP's do get magnetized. I've re... | |
| Vibraplane: Should it be loaded close to limit? You are most welcome, Palasr. I've done some more listening and can further describe the improvement as being somewhat like the difference between a 33 1/3 recording and one at 45 RPM. The stylus seems to be pulling more information from the groov... | |
| Different Results between Record Cleaning Machines I think Syntax has described the issue and the solution quite nicely. | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Thuchan,I don't know what happened to the Wave Kinetics NVS thread. I enjoyed that thread because with such a new design, there is very little information in the popular press, so forums like these can be very helpful.I started this thread because... | |
| Magico Room at RAMF How good did it sound Rasmika,You'll find no argument from me. The Q line, based on the 3 and 5 that I've seen and heard, is incredible. Great sound and seemingly of the highest quality. Fit and finish are superb.I've heard Avalon sound wonderful, but I agree, Magico i... | |
| Vibraplane: Should it be loaded close to limit? I just added a 24" X 20" X 1" steel plate for ballast on top of my Vibraplane. This pre loads the unit by 136 lbs. With the 35 lbs from the turntable, the total weight now is 171 lbs on the Vibraplane. This is considerably more than the turntable ... | |
| At What Point is the Needle Damaging Records? I thought a typical stylus lasts about 2000 hours and it usually outlasts the suspension. Is this not the case? |
