| Reasonably Priced Fuse Upgrade for Magnepan 3.7? @georgehifi - " Better still, put some copper wire in place of your fuse and don’t overdrive your speaker, many speakers (even planers and ESL’s) don’t have fuses." Better yet(what I’ve always done with Maggies, while installing WBT 5 ways), unscr... | |
| Vacuum Tube Retailer Option @wolf_garcia - I have to admit: I never had any issues either, with anything that I purchased from, "Uppity Audio". Kevin was my go-to guy, for a couple decades. I especially loved the NOS Sylvania 6550’s he used to(alas) stock. Great products and... | |
| How Is MQA Fareing? Thanks for those thoughts. Lately, the only info I found was this: https://www.stereophile.com/content/mqa-tested-part-2-fold | |
| Does It have to be loud? Tastes in music listening vary as widely as tastes in food and drink, or anything else imaginable. After five decades of listening to more live music(every genre/studio/auditorium/outdoor/two or three times a week/two to four hours a pop) than hom... | |
| Reasonably Priced Fuse Upgrade for Magnepan 3.7? @cjwessing - I’ve always wondered about fancy fuses in speakers, though I’ve been using them in all my other components, for years(my Maggies always get bypassed). Please, come back and tell us how those worked out for you(any audible differences). | |
| Magnepan Owners @bluesy41- I have little doubt, that the Verastarr kit would yield better sound. That kit accomplishes the same goal as the internal bypass trick, but, still leaves four, inferior metal, connection points(at the fuse and jumper ends), betwee... | |
| speaker and seating position for magnepans Hanging anything soft(blankets, curtains, etc)in your room, is bound to affect something, soundwise. Various thicknesses, shapes and densities of foam, are chosen to target certain frequency ranges. ie: I chose the 2’ X 4’, 4" pyramid foam, to dif... | |
| Vacuum Tube Retailer Option "Aside from that, Tyler and Chelsea are among the nicest people I have ever encountered in the audio business. " YEP!! | |
| Reasonably Priced Fuse Upgrade for Magnepan 3.7? You might find something applicable here: http://www.partsconnexion.com/fuse_hifituning_gold_main.html For the money, you might try the 2A value on the tweeters, just to see if there's a discernible difference. | |
| speaker and seating position for magnepans @wipespreadpanic- Experimentation, in this arena, is always the best(or- necessary) course, given how listening tastes vary so widely. Have fun! | |
| speaker and seating position for magnepans I suppose, in light of all that, I know why the pyramid foam, on the wall behind the Maggies, works so well. I only have my own excellent results and the opinion of everyone that's heard my system lately(mostly pros of one stripe or another), to g... | |
| speaker and seating position for magnepans A perfectly square room is difficult, with regards to standing waves(peaks/nulls) and modal ringing. I've been stuck in an acoustic nightmare of a room, do to an expensive divorce, for the past 25 years. My 1.7i's are in a smallish room(12' W X ... | |
| Magnepan Owners I’ve always(with my SMGa, MMg, MG12qr and now- 1.7i Maggies) removed the input plate, replaced the stainless steel posts with WBT 5 ways, and while I’m in there, simply remove the tweeter’s hot wire, from the jumper and connect it to the input sid... | |
| Vacuum Tube Retailer Option Used to buy from Upscale, until he got too uppity. Been buying power tubes from these guys(http://tctubes.com/), for the past decade, with zero problems/much satisfaction and Brent Jesse also(no need to elaborate there). A while back, I had an oct... | |
| How Is MQA Fareing? Has the MQA format made any further inroads, since this discussion's last post? I've not heard it yet, as I'm waiting for updates regarding it's availability/industry acceptance/popularity. |
