| cassettes CAN sound better than vinyl. You can get the top end of a cassette to sound pretty good but there is not enough tape width to get all the low frequency stuff. And then we got to ask about your source. Prerecorded cassettes? They are awful. Digital? OK with me. From an LP? Can... | |
| I’m in trouble I'll throw out my normal recommendation of a Musical Fidelity M5si. I'd also be thinking of better loudspeaker, perhaps a nice tower. | |
| I’m in trouble What loudspeaker? | |
| Fidelity vs. Musicality...........Is there a tug of War? +2 | |
| Tube Amps, Magnapans and Impedance Lets look at this a minute. A class A tube amp running at 8 ohms. Not enough details for me but my guess, and I have a lot of experience with 3.6s running a class A amp, is that you are leaving a lot on the table. If you listen at low levels maybe... | |
| SPL meter results relative to Magnepan's (supposed?) craving for power/current With 400wpc whatever Maggies you have, they will sing. I'll assume that is 400wpc at 8 ohms. If not YMMV. | |
| Free Shipping - Be Careful! "...You just don’t understand the point of this thread despite that I have reiterated it now for the third time..."I recant my previous posting...perhaps two glasses of wine is in order. | |
| Magnepan 1.6QR vs .7 speakers "...By M-L do you mean Martin Logan?..."Yes I do. All the M-L speakers are very good and less finicky than Magnepan. Easy placement and easy to drive. I like my Electromotion ESLs and the newer ESLX looks interesting. Get a demo to make sure you l... | |
| Please help me not make a dumb mistake My sub is hooked up to my Prima Luna speaker outputs...no problem. | |
| Free Shipping - Be Careful! I prefer USPS. You are getting an easily replaceable product from a well know source. I'm sure you'll be happy and if there is a problem Tube Depot will take care of you. Relax and have a glass of wine until the mailman brings you your new tubes. | |
| System recommendations You question is a tough one. You have, I think, a very good system. Really difficult to find fault with it. However you are expressing a desire to improve what you have. This is a clue for me that you really want to make a substantial change. With... | |
| Magnepan 1.6QR vs .7 speakers Do not downgrade. The 1.6/1.7 are much better than the lower model speakers. If the bigger panels don't fit your space, look for another product like a M-L. | |
| How to tell if Raidho ribbon tweeter is damaged? If it's not buzzing, it's most likely good. | |
| Add a subwoofer to the center channel? "... just figured filling out the center breadth would make the overall experience more evoking..."I gave you a clue to do exactly that. Give it a try. Zero cost, except some time and sweat labor. | |
| Is it ever enough? I've assembled a LOT of systems. Generally I'm happy if I feel I'm getting everything that particular set of loudspeakers can give. Placement and component changes may be near unending until I reach the point where I think further changes will be ... |
