| Help choosing a DAC @jastralfu Thank you for the response and link, I agree that you are likely close to the venus, but I was hoping to be at the one box solution instead of two and buy used, if at all possible, honestly I have not seen any Venus for sale. If I go th... | |
| Help choosing a DAC @marco1 Thank you for your response, I do remember reding about the Merlin's about 10 or more years ago. Are they really as good as all the reviews suggested? I would love to terminate with the terminator, but unfortunately the road for me ends at... | |
| Help choosing a DAC @oddiofyl Thank you, it works well, I do love it. When you say it is a sleeper, do you mean a keeper? My budget is $2500 I would love to consider used, matter of fact that would be my 1'st option. Thank you for the response. | |
| Help choosing a DAC @ricred1 I wish I could listen to them, unfortunately that is not an option for Denfrips and I have read so many reviews that are positive that I do want to consider them. I don't know what other options I have other than them. I agree room synerg... | |
| My Oppo 105 finally bricked. Streamer suggestions? I have the exact same issue and mconnect lite was the work around. Not sure about the sound quality | |
| Integrated amp recommendation for Maggie .7's When I auditioned my 1.7i's which I eventually bought, one of the amps I auditioned was the Hegel. It sounded very flat to me, Maggies are such beautiful sounding speakers and the Hegel just did not have it. Eventually bought Conrad-Jhonson separa... | |
| Magnepan .7 Alternatives Room makes a huge difference in how the Maggies sound, I have had my Maggies in 3 separate rooms over the 8 years I have owned them and I was a winner in 2 out of 3. I was also skeptical about adding a subwoofer to my 1.7i's, coz on paper it sound... | |
| Your sub experience: Easy or hard? I bought a used REL SHO S/3 to add to my Magnepan's 1.7i and used this video to set it up and get dialed in: REL setup It absolutely blew my mind, how better my system sounded, highly recommend. If you have a Magnepan, get a REL. Away from the ... | |
| Budget Tube Preamp ($2000) I bought the CJ classic SE version 5 years ago and still use it, lovely sound. You should be able to get it used for less than 2K | |
| Need speaker cable I have the 1.7i's too and I use the Cardas Parsec, works great. | |
| Magnepan 1.7 i - Amp suggestions Hi, I drive my 1.7i's with Conrad Johnson MF2275SE amps. Avoid Class-D, buy used, plenty on the market. A lot of people swear by Sanders Magtech, but any amp which doubles in power from 8ohm to 4ohm will do the job. Good luck. | |
| What preamp creates the largest soundstage? I have a CJ Classic 2 SE pre-amp and I love it man. Good luck, and buy used ;) | |
| Best Amp for Magnepan 1.7? I drive my Maggie 1.7i's with CJ MF2275SE amp, I love how the CJ's voice these speakers. sublime. | |
| Looking for a digital cable 75 ohm Thanks guys, you all demolished my options. I put those options out because I know the names and since you can not test all the cables, I thought you can atleast trust the brand to offer a decent quality cable. I am curious about Cerious although ... | |
| Zu Speakers upgrade Any of the First Watt amplifiers should be good. That is what Sean of Zu recommends and runs. Any low powered tube amplifiers like from Conrad Johnson will be killer. |
