Why I sold my Magnepan .7's Here is a link to a calculator that gives a good starting point for placement of Dipoles in a room. Hint...it is not an equilateral triangle. http://www.cardas.com/room_setup_calculators.php It took days to get my 1.7 adjusted right and yes I'm... | |
Solid state amp recommendations for Maggies? +3 Bryston 4B3. I run a tube pre and with my maggies the result is exceptional. | |
Upgrading from the Schiit Freya+ Op, I understand exactly where you are on this. I invested in some really nice tubes for my Freya + and enjoyed it for almost two years. I felt like it was the weak link and that I wasn’t hearing everything my magnepans could give me. After doing... | |
Gamut Lobster Chair I remember calling about this chair....nope...let me check....it was email. yep....just looked it up. They wanted 5500.00 Needless to say I found another chair. | |
Behind the scenes Audio Research I/50 I'm not sure how normal this is in the industry but I was impressed that the designer, Warren Gehl, listens to every unit before it is packaged and given final approval. The effort to source local is admirable as well. | |
Behind the scenes Audio Research I/50 Disclaimer, I do not own any of their products nor am I any kind of shill. But, if anyone has listened to one of these I would love to hear your opinion. | |
Ready For Digital Source...Computer? Op, I wish there were companies that sold a purely audiophile pc or lap. There are network players/servers being made but it is so much more convenient to be able to use the device as a computer and a player. The market need is there. In time, it ... | |
Smallish room speakers Typo....meant the R3. About same price as the LS50 Metas, 1600 or so.But thanks for resp. Cheers | |
Smallish room speakers Congrats. Are they the Metas? Did you get a chance to hear the Ref3 at the Bensalem shop? I have a fairly large master bedroom and want to put a set in there but the Ref1 is more than I want to invest. I’ve decided on the Kef for space so trying t... | |
No Insurance with FEDEX as of 11/01 The last piece I shipped was in factory packaging but when the customer recieved it, the volume pot would stick between 10-2. Very frustrating. The customer chose fed ex because he had account and it was a little cheaper than my UPS quote. So, t... | |

Is this a New Game being played now? Yes. I ended up getting an email and a fake DHL waybill from someone in Viet Nam. Name was " Tadyu Nguyen " Knew it was sketchy. | |
Benchmark DAC3 vs. Denafrips Pontus II Following. I have a wonderful SD dac that is loaded with detail but have pondered this same question. Was thinking of the Pontus II or the Sonnet Morpheus just to have a different flavor. Would plan on keeping both and retain the option of chang... | |
One big reason why brick and mortar high end audio dealers struggle. Fair point. I have to drive a few hours and while it sounds disingenuous, when I call I act like a complete newbie and they are instantly nicer to me. I have noticed that when I ask detailed questions that indicate knowledge of equipment the kindn... | |
Buying the right tool (aka gear) the first time... Good Question OP. What room will it reside in and for how long? That matters. If you are in a home and your listening room will not be changing for the next 15 years, then your build will not need to be flexible. For instance if you are in a 12x16... |
