| What differences should I be hearing as my new system breaks in? Nice to hear from you glupson. The Stones sounded great. No issue there. Let It Bleed sounded much better at home than at the dealer showroom demo with their expensive monoblock amps. I think Pink Floyds Dark Side of the Moon disc itself is defect... | |
| What differences should I be hearing as my new system breaks in? David and lak, I’m not really concerned about the break in, I’m only curious what it entails sonically and the scope of the changes to expect. For instance what difference in the Magico A3’s sound might be apparent after 400 hours. Thanks. Douglas... | |
| Do any of your Rolling Stones recordings bring "Satisfaction"? Is there any consensus on the best recording of "Let It Bleed" you can acquire on either vinyl, CD or SACD. My Magico A3’s are scheduled to arrive Wednesday after an almost half year wait, and this thread has given me the idea of making a well don... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pjw8156, Let us know if you like the Impulse set and if it’s recorded decently. If so, I’ll order it. Great bargain for $12. Thanks for the link.Mike | |
| Do any of your Rolling Stones recordings bring "Satisfaction"? I don’t know Michael. One of my all time favorites, The Stone’s great "Let It Bleed" album sounded terrible when I took it along with some other (vinyl) albums to audition speakers on some really fine equipment. I didn’t expect that and was pretty... | |
| Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members? One of the first threads I read here was "no-one-actually-knows-how-to-lculate-what-speaker-cable-they-need" The way the author was treated there was inexcusably rude, whether you agreed with the author or not. It put me off. I never could figure ... | |
| Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members? As I'm sure you've noticed Celander, and why you posted this, there is an abundance of lack of regard for others on Audiogon. I have no idea why on a high end audio forum low end, intentionally rude and hurtful interactions are tolerated.My soluti... | |
| Please help me clean up this stupid speaker cable mistake Mike, if the adapters don't work out that may be my next move. That was a generous offer on his part. Mike | |
| Please help me clean up this stupid speaker cable mistake Shkong, I went ahead and ordered the silver adapters you recommended. That seemed like the simplest and most straight forward solution. Thank you for the links, and appreciate your assistance.Mike | |
| Please help me clean up this stupid speaker cable mistake I did hear back from Magico today. The A3’s do not have an extra hole on the binding post you could a place a second banana plug into, or a bare wire for that matter. So back to square one.I’ll most likely re-terminate one banana plug on each cabl... | |
| Which courier do you prefer? UPS has deilvered our packages to various neighbors, putting them in our next door neighbors garage one time when they were on an extended vacation. They leave packages on our lawn, out in the rain, in or around our garage, or in plastic bags tied... | |
| Please help me clean up this stupid speaker cable mistake Creekmaster, thanks for offering to send a pic, but I'm good. I emailed Magico asking if they had a similar binding post setup to what you describe, but got no response. I'll just have to wait until the A3's arrive to see if they have the extra ho... | |
| What to do with my old equipment being replaced? Thanks for the suggestion onhwy. I do buy vintage tools and woodworking machinery off Craigslist, so search its listings regularly.Mike | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Thanks Elizabeth. It’s been a long wait since October 3, but I’m excited the day is close at hand. Every time the phone rings I think it’s the shipping company trying to schedule delivery. They’re over a hundred pounds each, so you and Jafant shou... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Jafant, the dealer checked with Magico a couple weeks ago and they said they should be ready to ship the end of this month. Can't wait. Thanks for asking,Mike |
