| Magnapan MMG and Scott 222 Robr45,I have had 2 different solid state amps in my room and neither actually played much louder than my ST 70. The differences primarily was in bass solidity. Since I posted my response I have purchased a Dali Suite 1.2 subwoofer which is sealed... | |
| Long runs - USB or RCA??? USB 2.0 can be run up to 22 feet. USB 1.1 only about 12 feet. I would run the USB 2.0 cable to my DAC sitting on my rack near the amp. USB 2.0 is much cheaper than a 15 foot pair of interconnect and there should not be any degredation of sound. | |
| Magnepan MMG for fun and enjoyment. I'm using MG12's in my 13' x 14' listening room. I have the speakers about 41" off the rear wall. Can you afford to use that much room. This was the sweet spot in my room. I listen to them angled inwards position and sometimes facing forward. Each... | |
| Oppo 980H Bug I have had my 980H for about 5 months or so and I haven't had that problem. I listen to lot's of audiophile recordings and this doesn't happen thus far. I have a friend that has one too and he doesn't have that problem. But... we are both using th... | |
| Magnapan MMG and Scott 222 I would not use a small tube amp on the MMG's less than 35 watts per channel. I have read that some individuals in the forum had been using 16 watt triode amps on their MMG's. Just last week a guy had a pair of 40 watt tube amps on the 1.6's. I'm ... | |
| Integrated Tube Amplifier for First Timer? Alot of great choices. The Onix SP3 is an excellent integrated but it is not as detailed as say the VTL. I would choose an integrated that is hardwired and get a schematic for it. With the horns you have to make sure you don't get a bright soundin... | |
| UPS Shipping/Damage Claim policy experience I agree with the other gentleman when he says you were taken by the seller. First, did you contact the seller and inform him the item was damaged? If not you need to do that. He has to file the damage report. Support your end with pictures. Usuall... | |
| SOTA Sapphire/RB300 armboard detail? Hi,I suggest you get a VTA base for your Rega on the Sota. It will be much more flexible, I think. I had an armboard made for my Systemdek IV (Not IIX) which has a board that's more than twice the size of the IIX. The VTA base I have is An Origin ... | |
| finalists in the big speaker search I can speak for the Alon I Mk II's. This is an excellent speaker. Excellent depth and a wonderful soundstage. They do require solid state elecronics and I did get better performance in the bass region when I lifted the speakers off the floor with ... | |
| Is my Audio Alchemy DAC outdated? I would give a Scott Nixon Tube Dac a listen. There's one on AG right now. It is a very musical DAC and you would have to spend much more to get better sound. Changing tubes will give you a different sound. Addressing cables on the SNTD will chang... | |
| What amp to drive Magnepan MG12QR's Thanks for all your input. I'm searching the internet for the reccomendations you have made as we speak. | |
| budget tube preamp dilema I have owned an Audio Experience tube preamp Line stage and it's nice but needs some upgrades to get it to sound it's best. I sold it. I went to a CJ PV5. Wonderful but it's old and may require a $400 upgrade. I sold it! I then purchased an Audio ... | |
| Marian McPhartland - A National Treasure Oh, you are so right Ferrari. She is one of the best of all times. She plays with such emotion. You can feel each key stroke emotionally. She captivates you with her magic. She has an extensive collection on Concord Jazz CD's. The LP's are very ha... | |
| Anyone drive Magnepans with a B&K Kevkey, I'm driving my Magnepan MG12QR's with a 35 watt tube amp. My room is 14' x 13' with a 14 foot ceiling. I listen to many types of music from classical to jazz, etc. Even some audiophile recordings. I'm using a Van Alstine Super PAS 3si (not... | |
| performance vs. resale I would not purchase equipment of that type if I couldn't audition it in my system first. If that piece gives me the synergy that I wish to achieve, the price would matter little. The resale value would be a small concern simply because the gear i... |
