| Magnepan dealers I purchased my 3.7i's less than a year ago from Natural Sound in the Boston area. They were great to deal with. | |
| The Best Isolation/ Vibration Footers per component - what's your experience? I've experimented with several...Symposium Roller Block Jr, Rollerblock 2 +, Ingress Engineering (Canada), Voo Doo Iso Blocks, Still Points and Synergistic Research MIG's. All components on 2" or 3" solid maple racks or stands, all with Symposium... | |
| Newb Tube question I am about your age and a relatively recent tube-a-holic! I think I love them because some are older than I or at least the correct generation. I found the following write up / review to be very helpful although I do not agree in any way with hi... | |
| Magico Mini 2 I had the SF Cremona Auditor M's for several years and comparing to the original Auditors, far more detailed and very highly resolving. At $6K with stands, still a great "under the radar" performer IMO. I too had the upgrade bug 2 or 3 years ago... | |
| Lumin or Aurender + 1 for Lumin....I own the A1 with upgraded power supply....bought a D2 for a second system. The A1 has a reputation for being one of the most "analog" sounding streamers out there. The app is extremely easy to run, very intuitive. I also run t... | |
| Need speaker cable The new Synergistic Research Foundation series get huge reviews...call David Weinhart. | |
| Class-D recommendation Surprised no one has given D-Sonics any love. They get very good reviews. I run the 1500 monoblocks in a second Maggie rig and they are very good. | |
| Power cable for REL sub -- modestly priced I own a pair of REL Gibraltar 2's. These have 450W AB power amplification and they do and have reacted to different power cords. I have had Cullen cables (decent!) high end Synergistic Research (better), Audience (OK) and finally have found a ve... | |
| Most Musical 6NS7 tube for a Preamp? Long time 6SN7 fan and tube roller. I happen to run a Modwright LA-100 and like it very much. I have run every 6SN7 and I mean every! mentioned above. I stumbled a crossed a Don Sachs forum thread and for the first time heard of a tube that got... | |
| All I need to know about D-Sonic amplifiers I have recently installed the D-Sonics M3a-1500M monoblocks driving Maggie 3.7i's. Using a McIntosh C2300 tube amp and I am very pleased with the results. Great soundstage, great balance top to bottom and nice detailed sonic images with in the s... | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? I recently built a second system and after much reading and research bought D-Sonics M3A-1500 mono blocks. I ran them for about 300 hours using a SS Primare pre I had and driving a new pair of Maggie 3.7i's. The amps and Maggies both require sig... | |
| Standmount speakers. I have $5000. I was just at a dealers place looking at Maggies for a second system. I have Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolutions. While at the dealers I had the chance to listen to FOCAL ELECTRA 1008 BE stand mounts.....these are "last years" models and are being s... | |
| Do you guys like Adele's music? Love her music when in the car...car system hides just how horrific her recordings are. | |
| Speakers for a small room I have a similar size room.... McIntosh amplification...try some Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor M's. A sleeper in the Audiophile community and perform way over their price point. I shocked a lot of my audiophile buds with mine. $3500 - $4k with st... | |
| Time for a Pre change? Need the wisdom... I have Mac 601 monoblocks with a C-2300 tube preamp driving Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolutions. All high end SR cabling. In a search for "detail" I went to the Rollerblock isolation technology and my system got so bright it was almost unlistenable.... |
