| Tidal Speakers owners Geopolitis, I installed Amarra 2 and listened to two cds. I don't know whether it plays from the hard drive or from memory or ram. It is louder than Pure Music and has more pronounced bass. It doesn't have the top end of Pure Music and thus lacks ... | |
| High Current Monoblocks Punishen1, I have no need for more than 900 watts per channel into 4 ohms, but the Magtech is outstanding. I also have never compared it with the ESL. Since that amp is primarily for electrostats, I would expect the Magtech would be better suited ... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Geopolitis, I will try Amarra again, but it was no contest when last I compared the two when it was Pure Music 1.40 not the new 1.63. | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Bacardi, I had misunderstood what you posted. Now you are in a quagmire. Some like balanced sound and others do not. I hear no benefit. Much depends on whether the components really have two circuits and thus are truly balanced or whether they mer... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Calloway, there are a multitude of reasons why what I am hearing with my Tidals now that I didn't hear earlier. One is that I forgot how outstanding these speakers are. Two, my Weiss Dac202 is now fully broken in. Three, the Sanders Magtech amp is... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Bacardi, it is not just physical looks. To use XLRs with your single-ended system, you will have to use XLR to RCA converters. My advice is don't use XLRs unless you have balanced inputs and outputs. | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Err, the first is unbalanced and the second is balanced. To use it properly you will need balanced outputs and inputs. | |
| Anybody own any direct-to-disc LP's? Yeah, once a year you can knock your socks off with the Sheffield Drum Record.The Concord "Just Friends" by LA4 is one exception to the feeling I have that I don't want to really listen to these d2d records. | |
| Anybody own any direct-to-disc LP's? idssp, you are right; LPs were mocked as not any good. It is also true that reel to reel tapes were still improving based on technology invented by the Germans. I will not listen to close to master copies of music on r2r as they will ruin you, and... | |
| Anybody own any direct-to-disc LP's? I still remember first hearing "the Missing Link." Later in a dealers (remember those guys), I heard it being used to wow a customer. When the dealer was called to the phone, I told the guy to play to ask for a disk that you are familiar with.I no... | |
| McIntosh MC402 - Best tube preamp? Wpines, Soundlock is not wrong about the Magtech. I is powerful and outstanding. I reviewed it on Dagogo and kept it. It does take forever to breakin not withstanding Roger Sander's opinion and if turned off takes three hours to reach its best. At... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Calloway, Friday or Saturday I should have mine up and running again. I got the Sander Magtech amp now. I have always been concerned that the H-Cat with a 100watts was just not enough power. I think 800 watts into 4 ohms per side should be enough. | |
| Mac Server vs. Wadia/iPod combo Sufentanil, it is a Powerbook Pro. It is only about a year old. I got it specifically to serve as a music servers with an SSD. | |
| Synergistic R Hologram A or T3 on preamp ??? I think once again that there are system differences that affect which pc is better. | |
| Tripoint Spartan Rtn1, I had just bought the Tidal Contrivas and felt very poor. You are absolutely right about the Troy taking time to breakin. I noticed the benefits most when I removed the Troy, the effortlessness and sound stage resolution were gone.I hope tha... |
