| My used Magnepan 1.6's are missing sparkly treble. Why? I think you are probably right about the 1.6's being fine although I'm probably not going to go to the trouble of hooking them up again to find out. I'll put them up for sale soon and hopefully somebody else will fall in love with them. At the u... | |
| My used Magnepan 1.6's are missing sparkly treble. Why? I thought I should provide an update to my original post. Since I wasn't sure what was going on with the 1.6's and there was a very good used 1.7 for sale locally at a good price I ended up getting that also. Overall I liked the 1.7 better and t... | |
| My used Magnepan 1.6's are missing sparkly treble. Why? 11K is about it for me. I'm curious how high you hear? Assuming this tone generator is accurate you should be able to get a pretty precise measure of the limits of you hearing.https://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/ | |
| My used Magnepan 1.6's are missing sparkly treble. Why? I'm not sure if this is simply confirmation bias or what but I did find several different demagnetizing tracks on YouTube and after playing them I think the treble response is improved. It is still somewhat muted but better than it was. I don't... | |
| My used Magnepan 1.6's are missing sparkly treble. Why? I don't know what a Shefield demag disk is. Are you talking about this: https://www.amazon.com/Sheffield-Xlo-Test-Burn-CD/dp/B000025RLX Although that seems like an interesting, if wildly overpriced, product I can't imagine why it would fix anyt... | |
| My used Magnepan 1.6's are missing sparkly treble. Why? Here are some pictures of what is behind that aluminium panel. I assume the other speaker is the same.https://www.dropbox.com/s/x5tt7tqscfu77om/IMG_0019.JPG?dl=0https://www.dropbox.com/s/qoraem5mzc07lte/IMG_0022.JPG?dl=0 | |
| My used Magnepan 1.6's are missing sparkly treble. Why? Thanks for the tip. Lets see if this dropbox link to the JPEG of the back of the speaker works.https://www.dropbox.com/s/3qaj08yrow0nat0/IMG_0017.JPG?dl=0 | |
| My used Magnepan 1.6's are missing sparkly treble. Why? At some point the speakers were modified to remove the fuse. That whole panel shown in the manual doesn't exist. There is just an aluminum panel across the speaker with plugs for the wires. The seller represented that was a modification to imp... | |
| 700.00 speakers new or used I'm driving those used Maggie 1.6's with this SoundArtist SA-200IA. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0816PV7TS/ It seems to work fine but I don't know anything about amps but the guy at The Next Best Thing seemed to like them and the price is ... | |
| 700.00 speakers new or used I just picked up a pair of used Magneplanar 1.6's for $700. Only had them for two days but its remarkable how good they sound. I imagine the LRS' are at least as good in a smallish room. | |
| Looking for headphone amp/DAC That Topping DX3 looks like it checks a lot of boxes. Do you have any idea how it compares for sound quality to the higher priced Topping DX7 Pro?The Topping D90 looks like it would be amazing but it isn't a headphone amplifier.I am really enjoyi... | |
| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? I'm new to this whole concept of vibration isolating the electronics, though it certainly makes sense when it comes to tube amplifiers, and clearly how a speaker sits on the floor will impact its sound. And there seem to be quite a range of opini... | |
| Suggestions for pure headphone amp around $200? First, let me say I am brand new to the whole audiophile world. I've owned the HifiMan 400i's for a long time and have always simply used them with the jack on my iPhone or computer. But recently, for some reason (lockdown fever?), the HiFi bu... |
