| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D Having used Tube based preamp(s) for years, and in general having avoided like the plague the notion of Tube based power Amplifier(s), I got a bit of an awakening recently.My reason for avoiding Tube based power amps are all the standard reasons, ... | |
| Esoteric D-07x vs PWD Mk2? Need info on SQ I've owned a D-07X now for a couple months and am liking it very much, unfortunately I'm coming from a W4S-DAC-2, so not much help with comparison to PWDmk2. | |
| Heavy Duty Binding posts for Krell KSA 250 Gbart, you beat me to it! proper use of the WBT binding post type for set-screw to wire, should use the WBT crimp sleeves. I've used these and they work extremely well. | |
| Heavy Duty Binding posts for Krell KSA 250 In the case of KSA-250/150, no soldering, set screws or wiring are used. The binding posts bolt directly to output "Buss" bars within the amplifier.Not hard at all to change for any reasonable electronics technician, but not something I'd recommen... | |
| Opinions on Magnepans sales/marketing approach to It's great to hear you're continuing to enjoy the 20.7sI know I am!!!At the moment I'm running jumpers in both tweeter and midrange. I'd had a 1 Ohm (Duelund) in the tweeter, which I felt with the 3.7s was needed. I just at this point don't see th... | |
| Opinions on Magnepans sales/marketing approach to Stickman451Congratulations on the 20.7s!My 20.7s arrived on Sept 21st. I lugged the things in and installed them myself, these things are absolute monsters. I knew they were bigger and heavier than my 3.7s, but OMG.Anyway, as you experienced and a... | |
| Parasound JC-1 - Standby during playback? I would, simply as a troubleshooting action, place the JC-1s in Manual, just long enough to verify that they are/are not being erroneously triggered off by the preamp.Of course during the testing, be sure to manually turn the amps on and off in th... | |
| Parasound JC-1 - Standby during playback? Are you sure they are not in the "Audio Signal" mode where they turn on, and off, based on audio input?Make sure the switch on the rear left panel is in "manual" | |
| Conrad Johnson dedicated fansite Bogeybuster49I've owned ET3, ET5 and GAT preamps. They all use the identical front panel logic/control board. (I've changed firmware in them, so I can confirm this first hand)The units are susceptible to static electricity, but no more than any ot... | |
| Magnepan Service HORRIBLE??? >>I know it would be crazy to do but I am seriously considering flipping these when they do get back and not dealing with Magnepan again despite all the other positives they bring to the table. This is ridiculous from my perspective as a cus... | |
| Magnepan Service HORRIBLE??? ....and I've been waiting for 2 months now for 20.7s, might get them in August. Maybe I should start complaining how horrible Magnepan are? ya know, squeaky wheel and all...Now to find out they are worried about repairing used/damaged 3.7s while I... | |
| Magnepan 3.6 or 3.7 - The smart choice? I owned 3.6s and 3.7s.IMHO 3.7s are quite dramatically improved over 3.6s in every way.if the $4k for the 3.7s are within your budget, I would strongly suggest going with the 3.7s. | |
| Does listening fatigue go away??? fascinating question...'had to comment.many years ago I had owned what should have been a good mid-range system, Krell (KSA) and other pwr amps, Apogee Duetta Signatures, various preamps including some solid state, some tube, various CD/digital fr... | |
| HDtracks died I was trying to remember what issues I've had over the couple years. I think in one case I recall where each time I'd start a download it would hang. I think I had to delete the default "My HDTracks Music" download folder (even though I emptied it... |
