| Magnepan 1.7i Amp recommendations Jjss49- Point taken, the DACs in the prior series were getting long in the tooth, and DAC refinement is a significant part of this last series improvements, (particularly in the H-190, 390 & 590). That is the disadvantage of a built in DAC, as... | |
| Magnepan 1.7i Amp recommendations This is somewhat against the “common knowledge” of massive wattage, but a couple of experienced, enthusiastic Magnepan dealers describe a particular synergy with Hegel integrateds and the 1.7i, including their smaller models the H-80 (discontinued... | |
| Any reason not to place stand mounted speakers upside down? I paired some old, small Tannoys (603) with an NAD D3020 in a traveling system. The speakers had been loaned to a friend and I had not listened to them for a couple of decades. After setting up the system 1500 mi from home, I was not happy- harsh... | |
| KEF R11 vs B&W 702 vs Golden Ear Triton 1.R vs? I appreciate your recent responses to my OP. It has been awhile since I've listened to Dynaudio, but whenever I have they were warm and smooth ( a compliment). | |

| Emotiva equipmet, how good is it? Prefer a new integrated?-Including a DAC-Give the Nuprime IDA-8 a listen (if you don’t have a local dealer, check out the Sonic Unity website with a 30 day trial), or the NAD C368, which is the start of their modular designs and has an impressive ... | |
| Emotiva equipmet, how good is it? My experience with Emotiva was limited to their powered speakers. The good- exceptional sound for the dollar spent and space required. The bad- reliability. One speaker woofer failed in the first 60 days. The Emotiva response was friendly and fast... | |

| Any Paradigm Persona 3f and GoldenEar Reference comparisons? Your responses are interesting. I don’t live in an area with a lot of brick & motar stores.
