| Best Preamp = No Preamp? I have both a transporter and a squeezebox. Problem if you use the integrated volume control is that the preamp gain setting is implemented in by a digital gain setting in the DAC chip: if you output less than ~30dB below the max volume, you start... | |
| Has anyone heard the Magico Mini? Alon Wolf told me at CES that the change of woofer is further improving the sound of the mini: much stiffer membrane= lower resonance (I was said the new mini goes ~3dB lower)and less distortionI was said also at CES that price has been set at $26k | |
| Which format to use - mp3 vs. windows lossless, Lossless format: FLAC encoded with EAC, tagged with Tag&Renamed. I like it because the tagging is quite convenient, and I use a slim devices squeezebox and a transporter which are converting internally to FLAC anyway (if you don't use FLAC you... | |
| Gryphon Antileon vs Antileon Signature Nico,regarding French distributors: I bought my Antileon with Audio Concert in Paris. Are you sure they are not distributing anymore Gryphon?I brought them back my Antileon for a repair (burnt a transistor) 3 years ago, and they did it without any... | |
| Gryphon Antileon vs Antileon Signature I have a normal Antileon (2nd generation). How different the sound of the Signature depends very much of your speakers. Main advantage is the power (150W) vs the 100W of the Antileon. Same type of sound. | |
| Has anyone heard the Magico Mini? Alexc,you say you heard the Mini with a pair of Torus: can you elaborate on the difference with the mini alone? does it justify the 19k additional investment?thanks | |
| Best subwoofer? if you need a sub for a stereo system, the only one I have listened to which is fast enough to integrate with a <=9" woofer is the Wilson Benesch Torus | |
| Best Integrated Amp Of All Times? ASR Emitter II exclusive with akku | |
| Has anyone heard the Magico Mini? I heard a lot of the speakers you are mentioning (the Guarnieri, Stradivari, WP8, MAXX2, Schweikert VR9SE...) but not the Kharma. For my taste, the Mini beat them all (except for the visual aspect, for which the Sonus Faber cannot be beaten). In p... | |
| NUFORCE AMPS FOR PASSIVE SUBWOOFERS Nice but not powerful enough for power hungry woofers. I would rather go for any of the class D using the 1000W Ice Power module (used by several high end brands in their loudspeakers with active subs).Otherwise, you may consider a Crown MA-5002VZ... |
