| Magnepan ribbons problems To follow up my previous post, the responses re: power are oh-so-correct. The MGIIIA (all 3.X series and up), demand power, current and finesse. I have driven mine with the Sunfire Signature, and the Aragon Palladium Monos, both put out >400 WP... | |
| Magnepan ribbons problems Cemil,What kind of power amp are you driving them with? I have a pair of 1987 vintage MGIIIA with the ribbon tweeters, and they have been replaced once since new, back in 1992. | |
| Rack/stand for VPI Scout Hi Winston,I did the following for my Scout: Salamander Archtype 2.0 with spikes, removed the top shelf and replaced it with a custom cut and drilled slab of 3/4" black granite. On top of the granite I use 4 Mapleshade Isoblock footers. Resting on... | |
| Building a dedicated room Dragon1952,Thank you man! I have not had such a laugh in a long time.When I first started looking at it, I was looking for an April 1st date on it. The clincher was the picture at the bottom of the double wide, and the delivery only in Appalachia ;) | |
| I need a female jazz vocalist. No Krall, No Norah Ella Fitzgerald. Get yourself a nice pressing of "Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie", sit back, and enjoy the ride. | |
| Denon 103? Shure V15? AT OC9? guidance My choice of the 3 would be the Denon. I'm not familiar with the phono stage in your amp. The reason I state this is that the Denon 103 is a low output MC. Can your amp handle a low output cart? If you can stretch your budget just a bit you might ... | |
| 2 Classe ca 100's vs 1 Classe ca 200 ? Drubin,I am wondering the same thing myself. I am considering the purchase of a pair of CAM 200 monos to power my Magnepan MGIIIA's. The price seems attractive enough. I will be setting up an audition of them within the next few days. | |
| Are you going to buy the Rolling Stones SACDs? You can put a nice suit on a sack of crap - but it's still gonna be a sack of crap. The Stone's recordings have never been well engineered or well pressed (save for Satanic Majesty's Request). I don't know if the format can make them listenable. E... | |
| Where does your user name come from? Marco-My sympathies to you and your family. Our 6 year old Shetland Sheepdog Charli died on 6/5, so my family and I know how you feel. | |
| Which artists do you just not get? "Big Hat" country Ethnically confused clowns like EminemArtificial boy and girl bands ('Nstink and Density's Child - spelling errors intentional)Single name chick singersNirvana. Kurt Cobain especially. I don't get the mythic, cultish following he... | |
| Anyone bought BrokenLamp Co amp? As a follow-up to my previous post, I knew Steve when I was living in Western New York. He used to voice his work on Magnepan speakers (MGIII and MGI if I'm not mistaken). I don't know if he still is doing that or not. | |
| Anyone bought BrokenLamp Co amp? haven't heard one yet but it is designed by the original designer of the B&K ST140, Steve Kreiser, the K in B&K | |
| VPI JMW9 Tonearm setup questions There should also be a small set screw that needs to be lossened. The whole assembly can be adjusted up or down, depending on the knob's position. Loosen the knob, pull the assembly up, retighten the knob. do this in small increments. | |
| VPI JMW9 Tonearm setup questions Jmcgrogan2,There is no oil damping on the JMW9 arm. Are you referring to the main platter bearing? Scouts I've seen (including my own)have come from the factory not requiring any user applied bearing oil. | |
| VPI JMW9 Tonearm setup questions Yes, it is supposed to "float and wobble". It is designed to be in perfect balance when properly seated. If this is your first unipivot (as it was for me), this can be rather disconcerting when you first set it up. But as soon as the glorious soun... |
