Magico Q3's at Goodwin's High End
I heard from my dealer a few weeks ago that the price will go up, I think First of September if I am not mistaken to $38,000+. I got mine at the original price. Supposedly the price went up because cost of aluminium went up considerably since Q3 w...

In comparison to Q5, the major benefit for Q3 is that it you will have a lot more choices of amps to choose from. A friend of mine has Q5 and it seems to thrive on lots of power, the more the merrier. Q5 bass definitely will go down deeper. I also... 
Lamm 2L Reference vs CJ GAT
Hi LloydeNot yet, my dealer still does not have GAT in for audition yet :( 
VAC and LAMM
I have Lamm M2.2 and love it very much but there are a few things to consider. M2.2 is certainly considered a great high power amps but considering choices of speakers nowaday and Lamm's relatively low damping factor, it may or may not be the best... 
Is preamp remote volume a deal breaker for you?
Remote is a big plus but not quite a deal breaker for me. For the last 20 years, my stero has never been without remote (Krell KRC2 pre, Krell integrated, ARC Ref3, ASR integrated) but recently I switched to all Lamm system with Lamm 2L Reference.... 
Lamm 2L Reference vs CJ GAT
Hi Lloyd,I had ARC Ref3 in my system for about a year. Heard Ref5 a few times and have 2 friends that have Ref 40. Basically Ref 5 was a tad better than Ref 3. Ref 40 is quite a bit better but in the wrong direction for me. I am not a fan of thick... 
Lamm 2L Reference vs CJ GAT
Thanks everyone for helpful suggestion. I was thinking about BAT for awhile but have not had a chance to audition it yet. A local dealer was trying to get VAC here but supposedly VAC told him that they are already at full capacity in their product... 
about stereophile magazines recommendation of belk
Hmmm... I am also curious about USB cable as I will soon have the new Playback USB converter for PD MPS5. Currently I have Weiss INT202 firewire-sp/dif converter which I find certain firewire cables sound better than another, especially regular co... 
Stealth Dream power cord, anybody tried it?
I had Elrod in my system for a week and thought that it was too much of a good thing. Very dynamic, big big bass but the system became rather aggressive. System matching will be very important for Elrod. Another friend who tried both Stealth and E... 
Magico Q3's at Goodwin's High End
Just a slight update, not sure how to explain this, using Lamm 4 ohms tab instead of the 8 ohms tab, Q3 is not quite as dark as before. Usher impedance is 8 ohms so I never tried 4 ohms tab with it. On the other hand, string seems to have more spa...

James, Usher midrange is a little bit larger, more forward, not quite as well focus, and may be a touch rougher. Image is also a touch flatter on Be-20. I found Usher older Berylium/titanium tweeter a bit on the cool side and DMD sweeter and round... 
Magico Q3's at Goodwin's High End
I got Q3 in my living room and I am impressed. The tonal balance is rather different from what I heard at my dealer with Soulution. Q3 replaces Usher Be-20 DMD in my room. Lamm M2.2 certainly has not problem driving it in 8 ohms tab mode. I have n... 
Magico Q3's at Goodwin's High End
The room I heard Q3/710 in was roughly 3.5mx4.5m or about 11x15ft and a little over 9ft tall. There should not be trouble with volume at all but you will need significant room treatment otherwise Q3 will definitely be too much for the room. Now Q3... 
Magico Q3's at Goodwin's High End
Depends on how big the room you are using 710/Q3 with, I suppose. I heard the combination at my dealer over the weekend in a smallish room and it has no problem driving Q3 to more than adequate loudness with no sign of stress.I have not yet heard ... 
Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ?
Jarrett, I assume your Kansui cartridge is a Miyajima.I just heard it with Reed Cocobolo wand. Great sounding cartridge that matches better with Reed than TW Acoustic Raven arm.If I get a second Reed arm, (may be in the next year or two, hopefully...
