Tube Amp for Magnepan 3.6 - Rogue Zeus/VTL-MB450
I am a little confused about one thing- They're accompanied w/Supernal tweeters and an AMC B1-20 sub. Are you using a sub AND a "super tweeter"? If so and your getting "good" results something is seriously wrong. I don't think either tube amp wil... 
favorite SOPRANO?
I'm kinda partial to Tony myself. Bada Bing :o) 
Now I Really Need a Power Conditioner? ?
Bob- Nice to see your moniker, I thought you had jumped ship! 
Got any of your dream system yet?
If money was not an issue, I would still have the same transport and DAC. I would also have the same brand of IC and speaker cables just a wee bit further up the line. Other then that everything else would be gone or used in a second or third syst... 
Review: Magnepan MG-3.6r Speaker
Rooze- Nice and detailed review! I know I have said it before, but you are spot on with something being amiss with magnepan. With my hot-rodded 3.6's the level of performance is nothing short of amazing- clearly they could make a similar speaker a... 
realworld experience: Kharma subwoofer + 3.2 CRM
So there you go folks, my limited experiences(as stated earlier) were isolated to a few select people.Jtinn- Out of control threads drive me crazy, so I found a better tailor :^) 
realworld experience: Kharma subwoofer + 3.2 CRM
For the record I know of 2 exquisite owners who have had driver failures, 1 midi grand and 1 3.2. The good news is to the best of my limited knowledge about this all drivers were covered under waranty. I am also unsure of repeat failures, it could... 
realworld experience: Kharma subwoofer + 3.2 CRM
I know the drivers have a year waranty from time of purchase, so if you buy new you have some added insurance. I can not say if people continue to have problems but I know of at least 4 people off the top of my head who have had 7" ceramic mids ei... 
realworld experience: Kharma subwoofer + 3.2 CRM
Tpsonic- Many(if not most all) kharma owners have replaced midrange drivers- it is a piece of cake, and should take no more then 15 minutes. 
Went to see Bond last night-Don't criticize me yet
The recordings are fair at best, one my friends used to date Haylie so I have all of there discs and I don't play them often. Its classical crossover and you either like it or you don't, I don't really like it. I do like there ability to market it... 
new gear vs used gear
100% new, even with my activity here at audiogon I just don't like buying used gear. But I do my best to keep the used market busy as I upgrade :o) 
EMM Labs CDSD / DCC2 - Initial Listening Session
Gladstone- ROFLMAO :o) 
EMM Labs CDSD / DCC2 - Initial Listening Session
Brucegel- I would really love to hear you describe the sound of the CDSD/DCC2. I try to offer help the best I can, perhaps its not to the level that would satisfy you- but its the best I can do. Tbg- Well said! 
EMM Labs CDSD / DCC2 - Initial Listening Session
Hifinut- Try using the supplied digital cables(they should have come with the transport) and see what you think. Out of the box my DCC2/meitner transport combo outperformed my audio aero capitole mkII, the improvements were painfully obvious after... 
Hi-Fi test
Any CD that will move you emotionally, audio shouldn't be about technical mumbo-jumbo it should be about reproduction of music that will allow you to connect to the music/musician unlike you have before. That being said I strongly suggest checking...
