| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Jafant, what is it you liked about the Transparent Audio cabling. Thant is one of the cable manufacturers Magico uses and I'm looking into.Glupson, what speaker wire designs do you prefer, or not? I'd be curious to know since the efficacy of vario... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Ieales, I double-checked, and Audio Advisor does make the no frills in the Rocket 88 too, listed right below the Rocket 44 picture on their site. I don’t think I’ll be getting it anyway, but thanks for checking and finding a potential costly. mist... | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving Slaw, thanks, I'll check out your link.Wolf_garcia, I wish I could say the same for your Cocobolo suggestion. It does roll off the tongue though, in a Bananarama sorta way.Mike | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving Slaw, the top shelf for the turntable is already exists and was built in place to hold one of those heavy old big screen TV's that pre-date the flat screens, You know the type. I could set the Titanic on it. I'm building the shelves for the rest o... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Inna, I just now sent Mr. Porter an email requesting a quote on the Musaeus and Poseidon cables. We'll see what he says. He must have some pretty amazing equipment. Mike | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Inna, if the Poseidons are just a little over $1000 maybe that's what I'll do. You haven't steered me wrong yet far as I know. I'll try and track Albert Porter down. Glupson. I'll get this done. My mom used to call me a "grinder" as a kid. I just... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Inna , I found the Purist Audeo Design Museaus Luminas for sale new at the Cable Company for $1095 for ten feet. That’s some progress. I found a sterling review of them too. Mike | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. To clarify my last post I’ll be needing roughly ten feet of speaker cable (about three meters) or maybe a little less depending on where the Magico A3’s sound best in the listening room. Inna, I read a good review of the Museus but they were askin... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Here’s another question for anybody whose been reading ,or new to this thread. If you had a budget of $1000 for speaker cables, what would you consider buying new around that price point? Also what would you consider getting used, if it is not too... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Thomas, thanks for the info on The Cable Company's loaner policy.Jafant, will doAny thoughts on whether those home brewed Audioquest Rocket 88's from Audio Advisor might be the same quality as the regular priced ones that come from Audioquest with... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Audio Advisor makes up their own Audioquest Rocket 88 cables, one of those Magico recommended, by putting their own terminations on lengths of Rocket 88 cable off a spool. They then sell them at 51% off list. Does that sound legit to anybody, or n... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Glupson, .Thanks for the Luxman cable link. I’ll be sticking with zip cord at that price point. Maybe they’ll show up used at a reasonable cost. Inna, I do recall that someone (you) had mentioned the Luxman’s, Another general question for you all:... | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving Slaw, I'm going to build the shelving like described earlier in the thread and use under the marble for the turntable shelf, some constrained layer damping. Sorry for the late response, but this thread did get away from me. Still not sure what to ... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Jafant, I'll see if I can find the article you read on the Luxman cables. Do you have a link to it? You would think they'd be designed to be a good match with their own amps. I'll put them on my short list if they're not cost prohibitive. Thanks ... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Ieales, thanks for the definitions, I couldn't come up with the LCC on Google on my own.I'll try to do auditions when I'm not overly tired or aggravated. although those two conditions are usually present only when I'm sound asleep. You've certain... |
