| Canare 4S11G OFC Speaker Cables, An Incredible Audio Bargain @lowrider57, no I have not. I’m sure they sound good but I don’t want to go through that lengthy break in again. In my living room, the wires are under the floor and in a crawl space. At my age, it is not doable. | |
| Canare 4S11G OFC Speaker Cables, An Incredible Audio Bargain I made a lengthy post a few years ago regarding the Canare 4 S11 speaker cables. The cables take 400 hours to totally burn in and the changes are in my review. I had RAM Electronics build my 2 pairs of cables, one pair for each system. The res... | |
| Magico A3 or A1+Sub The right speakers closeness to the side wall may be a problem on a speaker as revealing as Magico. | |
| DarTzeel’s new direction Affordable integrated from him would be at least $25-30,000. That is not affordable to we “common folk”. | |
| Tube Amp or Tube Pre Amp I have always gone with a tube preamp and solid state amp. I currently use a McIntosh C2500 tube preamp and a McIntosh MC 302 solid state amp. I wouldn’t have it any other way. | |
| Legacy Audio Focus SE and rivals I have never heard a Legacy Speaker, I didn’t like. I heard the original Go us, not the SE and I liked them a lot. I heard the Valor which are incredible. Bill Duttleson makes excellent speakers. | |
| Do power bricks break in? It shouldn't be any louder, it will give you more headroom and make it easier for hard to drive speakers. It has nothing to do with loudness. | |
| Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing? @kennymacc +1 on the A5. They truly sound amazing and I believe many could live with them long term. | |
| Tonearm Alignment Conundrum @kevemaher , gotcha. | |
| Preamp upgrade Regarding the Modulus 3B preamp. I owned in this order, original Modulus 3, Modulus 3A, and Modulus 3B. The 3B was the best of the 3, sounded superb most of the time. I owned the 3B from 2012 through 2019 before going to a Rogue RP5 preamp whic... | |
| Tonearm Alignment Conundrum Why aren’t you using the stylus overhang gauge that comes with the turntable? It is surprisingly very accurate. I have 3 phono cartridges for my SL1200G all set up on different headshells using the factory gauge and have zero problems. What am ... | |
| Electrocompaniet AW300M or AW800M versus McIntosh 1.25KW? If the sound is in your face, you will definitely tire of them quickly. I would try out the smaller amp with your system to see over a couple of days, you really like it. | |
| Pass Labs XA30.5 Fuse Issue/Question If you recently purchased the amp, I would call The Music Room and ask for help. | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL I bought the Shure V15-4 body and a new Jico SAS with the boron cantilever. I love it! My Rock records really sing, and it was just the presentation I was looking for. I like it much better than my ZU/Denon DL103 which cost me $600.00 back in 2... | |
| Integrated Tube Amp approx. $2,500 Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum can be had used in your price range. |
