| Dac with build-up streamer LUMIN — I have used / owned the D-1, D-2 and T-2 in two quality stereo systems in my home spanning 10 years. High quality construction, constant updates, great support. Had to have the T-2 serviced - damage was my fault, but they still covered it ... | |
| Digital isolation between Ethernet hub and streamer Audioman58 - thank you for your post. I have been streaming my music for over 8 years and I am amazed at the quality level I have already achieved in my two major stereo systems in my home. I stumbled on a major audio upgrade by converting my inc... | |
| Just upgraded to Fiber Optic feed ( 500Mbps) from Spectrum (250 Mbps) OMG H CE 1 - Thank you for your reply. As I previously said - I am not an EE, but the improvement in my sound quality is obvious to my ears and multiple friends that have heard my system since I upgraded to the Calix modem/router. My system is more th... | |
| Just upgraded to Fiber Optic feed ( 500Mbps) from Spectrum (250 Mbps) OMG Everyone - just to be clear - I am a retired Chemist, not an EE. The company supplied their own router - it is a Calix GigaPoint GP1101X. I am hard wired via Ethernet from their router to both streamer/dacs (LUMIN T2 and LUMIN D2). I have two big ... | |
| The Absolute Sound posts a video about a new product development from Magnepan, but... BDP 24 - thank you for a wonderful thread about my fav speaker manufacturer - Magnapan.

| Planar Speakers and Diffusors Ozzy - thanks for this discussion - I have been a fan of planer speakers since 1982. I have stuck with Magnapan all these years. Got my Maggie 1.6qrs modified by Peter Gunn when I retired 3 years ago. They keep improving - I guess there is a real ... | |

| Jim Winey (Magnepan) has passed away. I have owned Magnapan since 1982 - I got hooked on them when I heard them in college in the late 70s in a stereo shop in Evansville IN. All of my systems have been built around Maggie’s. Currently have my Peter Gunn modified 1.6qrs paired with ... | |

| Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!! I have been a Magnapan speaker user since 1983. I have two systems now - one based on the Maggie 1.7i (driven by a Krell K 300i) with the Maggie DWM Bass Panel (driven by Son of Ampzilla). Once you give them good clean Class A power nothing compar... | |
| OMG - Room Acoustics are Critical - WAF be dam-ed!. In my wife’s defense - the offending lamp is part of a matched pair we bought together on a trip to Hong Kong in 1982. The lamp is pierced porcelain and hand painted with birds - that is why is was left at the wrong end of the couch for the last 1... | |
| OMG - Room Acoustics are Critical - WAF be dam-ed!. Just an update - had my audiophile friend (and his wife) over yesterday - he confirmed my analysis - moving the dam- lamp opened up the soundstage on the left channel speaker and really balanced the left and right channel output for a variety of m... | |

God Bless you all for the comments - just an update - I did not sleep in the Garage last night - amazing what a good steak dinner and a bottle of wine does to bring peace and harmony to our home - we also watched her ‘Brit Shows’ last night The ... |
