| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Kosst_amojani, you’re truly fortunate and skilled to be able to build them on your own. Unfortunately my skills are in other areas. I’ll look you up if I’m ever considering monoblocks. Jetter, well I did stay married to my late wife for almost 30 ... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Ozzy, when researching tubes versus solid state amp for the Magico A3's I've found opinions all over the place. I've read where people point out the Magico A3's perform well, and may even have been designed utilizing solid state amps. Alon Wolf d... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Kosst_amojan, My Magico A3's were mentioned to need 300 hours. Those Pass XA100.8's weigh in at a heavyweight 99 lbs. making my 55 lb. Luxmans seem anorexic in comparison. They didn't feel that way carrying them up a flight of stairs though. I wo... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need B4icu, I am trying to learn about cables, including yours. I have virtually no knowledge of cable technology at all, and have been reading on this subject for only a few days now, including your post. So let me ask you what is hopefully not a stup... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. 500 hours, that's like listening to over a thousand record sides. I suppose I could start working through my entire record collection. Since I only get in a couple of hours listening tops each night this might take a while. I suppose I could leave... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Another road trip is now over. Picked up my Luxman L-507uXII integrated amp today. Let's hope it synergizes well with my new Magico A3's when they arrive in February. It's built like a brick, and weighs a ton. It should last forever from the looks... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Ieales, have you mentioned what cables you're using? I'm curious as to what you have and why you chose, or like them. Like anybody else, I'd prefer to find less expensive ones that do correlate with good performance. In the end I'll pay what I hav... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Ozzy, I was informed they should be in February when I got them a couple of weeks ago. Apparently they’re selling quite well which is a good sign I suppose. I paid one half down on them. Where will you be going to hear them? I was fortunate that t... | |

| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. I hear you Inna, I’ve spent so much lately getting the Magico’s, VPI Classic 2 and now the Luxman L-507uXII I have to stop being extravagant for a time. I’ve some other expenditures to consider what with building a workshop and a few other things.... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. I found some Poseidons for around $1300 for 3 meters. The Neptunes would have sunk my financial ship. Maybe I could stay afloat with a Poseidon adventure. I’ll look into them.Mike | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Inna, thank you for the contacts. Last night I looked up the price for a pair of the length Audio Design Neptune fluid cables I'd need, about three yards long. They were running well over three thousand dollars a pair, which is unfortunately well ... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Inna, fortunately I have until February, when the Magico’s hopefully arrive, to study and make choices on the wiring.Rest assured I will not call you names due to your suggestions, even when they haul me into bankruptcy court. At your suggestion, ... | |

I’ll try to find some described as "linear, balanced, clear, harmonically correct" to audition at home once the components are all here.Twoch. I heard them demoed with ss and they s... |
