Has anyone heard the Magico Mini?
Wslam,a wonderful,thoughtful,post.Sensible conclusions,about performance,and a sealed design advantage,too.I have NO doubts that the Mini performs as to your description.I hope they show this at the Stereophile Show,in NY,in May. Best.

Want a good laugh?I have been experimenting with Pre/phono/table connections to "balanced/symetrical/regenerated A/C",vs other alternatives.I have three dedicated lines,and a new,high quality circuit breaker box.Also,I live in the suberbs,and usua...

"Trying to listen,and let the cart tell me what it wants"....Dan a SUPERB point,and one all serious hobbyists should take into account. Best 
Grahma Phantom vs Tri-Planer?
Riick,in all honesty,though you have a good plan,all this "mega-techno" business of which arm/cart/table is better than the others is really just a popularity contest.To a good extent.All the products we all talk about are SUPERB,and it is hard to... 
Grahma Phantom vs Tri-Planer?
Rick,I hope you don't take this long to make a buying decision(over a year now?),when shopping for groceries!Your poor family!!When my wife asks me to wait in the car,during a food stop,I always know I could take a nice long nap.-:) Best

Thanks for the response,Doug.I truly,was not "fishing" for one,and you demonstrate your "uniqueness",by responding.As far as I am concerned,there will ONLY be harmonic discourse,in the future. I just could not have let much time go by,without maki...

Andrew,I posted this on Raul's Essential thread,but this is a more appropriate place.Could you report back at some time,as to where you finally wind up setting VTA?I am very close to getting my Orpheus,and have not visited my friend,who has one,in... 
Has anyone heard the Magico Mini?
Davey,I cannot tell you,for sure.But it is a CLEAR(in two systems)improvement over the standard 8.Why not call Jeff,and ask him? 
Has anyone heard the Magico Mini?
Davey,if you want a new improved level of performance,consider updating your amp,to the 8t(easily done at the factory.I had my amp done(from 8 to 8t)as did a friend.Big improvement in detail and air.Not too costly either. 
Re-issue vinyl vs. the original pressing
BTW,many of the re-issues are not exactly cheap!Take a look at some of the offerings from Acoustic Sounds.Sorry,but for 30 to 50 dollars for many of the Jazz re-issues,I'm better off going to the Princeton Record Exchange,and finding originals,for... 
Re-issue vinyl vs. the original pressing
Thouigh I love to read the Salvatore web pages.He is not the last word in reference recordings.I think he,like me,tends to be a bit controversial.Which in his case,keeps his web-site very interesting.In my case,it does not work,so well. As to the ... 
Has any one heard Magico Speakers?
I have heard quite a few superb speakers sound lousy,at times.Particularly in dealer showrooms,or Hi Fi shows.I doubt if the Magico Mini is anything other than superb,in a system owned by a well heeled,experienced music lover. My own speakers(Clas... 
Grahma Phantom vs Tri-Planer?
Rick,how are ya?BTW...Eddie(from the Sid listening session)is updating his 2.2 to the Phantom in about a week.I installed his Transfig. Orpheus awhile ago.He has a fine set-up,and I am sure he would be happy to give you an audition,any time conven... 
12" 45 RPM records: What's the story?
Nsgarsh,sorry to go off topic,but can you help me?I was running a PS Audio P-500 on front end componentry,with fabulous results(Balanced/Regenerated a/c for cd's,lp's,pre/phono only).Yet,it blew up after three weeks.The second replacement lasted f... 
How do you compare Nova Be to Sonus Strad?
Thanks Raquel.I,too heard the Nova/Zandens,and they were superb.I have never heard the Novas to my satisfaction previously.Yet,and yet the Strads look to be a very distinct and different approach to design.Wilsons never appealed to me.Though I am ...
