Magico Q3's at Goodwin's High End
CES 2012, I also wonder what Magico will do. V2 is still a current model but M6 was discontinued. May be a M6 replacement? 
Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ?
I was going to get Pernambucco wand since the weight was identical to Cocobolo but the article mentioned that Pernambucco measurement showed it to be ideal material for heavier arm for Koetsu. However, for whatever reason, Reed suggested Cocobolo ... 
Magico Q3's at Goodwin's High End
Ebm, I am not sure what you are upset about? I assume that in part, you are responding to my post regarding V3 vs Q3. I never said that V3 is bad. I first fell in love with Magico since I first heard V3. May be not quite enough that I would want t... 
what power cord do you use on the playback designs
I really like Synergistic Research Halogram D on PD. I tried Shunyata King Cobra CX and really like the bass but found the midrange and high a bit on the dry side. One PC that was better than SR Halogram D was Stealth. However, Stealth sounds bett... 
Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ?
Lewm, you are right but in a way, all the combinations from Reed make it rather confusing. Some of the wood have to same effective mass so it is really hard to figure out which wood to choose. I went by what Reed suggested for my particular cartri... 
Magico Q3's at Goodwin's High End
Yes, Q3 cost more than the V3 but the improve in performance is quite significant. What I tried to say was that, eventhough Q3 costs more, my dealer felt that most people, if they can, probably would try to stretch their budget from V3 upto Q3 bec... 
Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ?
I heard Reed 2P on Raven One today, with Cocobolo arm, copper phono cable into ASR Basis Exclusive Phono into Soulution pre/power (the stereo amp one) with Magico Q3. Cartridge was Miyajima Kansui. I was very impressed although the speakers are br... 
Magico Q3's at Goodwin's High End
Finally I got to hear Q3. However, the speakers only arrived at the dealer 2 days ago and not even closed to burn in yet but it sounds very promising. Like Q5, it made just about all other cone speakers sound boxy in comparison. Excellent detail a... 
Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ?
Opus88, I have 12" cocobolo arm. Right now I have Air Tight and Koetsu Onyx cartridge and Reed recommended cocobolo so I can use it with either cartridge. My dealer also got a 2p with Cocobolo arm to use with his Miyajima Kansui. I have the C37 si... 
Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ?
I just took a delivery of Q3 a couple of weeks ago. I plan to use it on Raven AC which I should get in a couple of month.In the mean time, I mount it on Reed's base to use with VPI Classic. Very very nice. All the adjustments are very easy to do. ... 
Berkeley Alpha vs Weiss 202 vs Ayre QB9 vs ?
Forgot to add, I also auditioned EMM XDS-1 in my system and heard Esoteric K-3 in comparison to PD but in an unfamiliar system. The EMM unit is very nice, more laid back, a bit more detail than PD but I did not feel that overall it was any better.... 
Berkeley Alpha vs Weiss 202 vs Ayre QB9 vs ?
Glory, yes personally, I find PD to be a significant upgrade over Berkeley. The biggest improvement is in the lower frequency where I feel Berkeley is a bit sluggish, as it has big,fat bass but a tad slow and a bit less well define. PD improves si... 
Berkeley Alpha vs Weiss 202 vs Ayre QB9 vs ?
In a way, Walter is also right to think that Weiss in more analogue. I guess it all depends on what you consider to be analogue like. Weiss definitely has very liquid, smooth midrange and high that is free from the usual artifact one associates wi... 
Berkeley Alpha vs Weiss 202 vs Ayre QB9 vs ?
I had Berkeley in my system for quite a while and auditioned Weiss 202 in my system awhile back. Berkeley has bigger, slightly darker sound, fatter, somewhat slower bass. Weiss in comparison has more open and liquid sound,thinner, faster but may b... 
Magico Q3's at Goodwin's High End
Hmmm, interesting point about voice and scale of singers. Unfortunately, in my experience, I have not heard any stereo system that can quite produce the kind of impact that a truely large voice can produce in a concert hall or opera house. In part...
