| Magnepan 3.7i vocals sound harsh Jonto,After your amp and pre-amp purchase has the harshness gone away? I ask because I’m also experiencing the same problems with Maggie 1.7 series speakers. I’m starting to look towards my signal generation (PS Audio Perfectwave transport into a... | |
| Which magnepan "for the short time that I had the 3.6r's in the room, the drummer sounded as if he were up by the ceiling and I had them a few feet from the back wall and about a 1 - 1.5 from the side walls. think I was sitting 7-9 ft away ( + - )."Even i... | |
| Items for sale here and on ebay without remotes.... I, on the other hand, am always very suspicious of people selling remotes without the associated equipment. Talk about your petty theft. But seriously, sometimes remotes just crap out. I've had a couple of remotes that had a button or two stop f... | |
| Have any of you ever replaced Magnepan 1.7 or 1.6 tweeters? Thanks Addyson815, Kjweisner, and everybody else.I was thinking that the tweeters were separate, like the 3.6 and 3.7 tweeters, and that if the tweeters were not repairable I could get them off and replace them. Not so.I got a return phone call f... | |
| Have any of you ever replaced Magnepan 1.7 or 1.6 tweeters? Kjweisner,Thanks!A couple of questions:Which Maggies did you work on, the 1.6s or the 1.7s? I would probably attempt to repair my 1.6s first. (Practice on the older ones first).If the problem isn't a tear or a localized stretch of glue coming l... | |
| Have any of you ever replaced Magnepan 1.7 or 1.6 tweeters? Thanks,Actually, I received an estimate from Magnepan and the cost of their estimate, plus the freight to and from Minnesota, was as much or more than the 1.6s are worth.Toolbox | |
| Have any of you ever replaced Magnepan 1.7 or 1.6 tweeters? Thanks. I’ve actually seen those, but I have a pair of 1.6s and 1.7s, which I seem to be constructed with fairly differant materials, tweeter wise. I think Magnepan sends you a tweeter in a tube and you install it in place of the old one. Not ... | |
| PS Audio PWT - cd transport Hey Lowrider,How is your PWT sounding now? Are you very happy, or is it still sounding too harsh? Did you ever try different fuses?I’m been making improvements to mine and it’s starting to pay off. I still have some more improvements on the way... | |
| PS Audio PWT - cd transport I'm starting to wonder if the PWT & PWD extract so much, sharp detail that the little flaws in the CDs are now glaringly in the spotlight at almost the same level as the music. If I hook my old equipment back up, (Sony 9000es dvd player, TEAC ... | |
| PS Audio PWT - cd transport Very interesting. We have a very similar problem. I just call PSA this afternoon & they are, indeed very helpful. They are helping to set me up eith the latest & greatest software upgrades.Yeah, the problem really started when I got the... | |
| PS Audio PWT - cd transport Chris,Did you get the cover off OK? | |
| PS Audio PWT - cd transport Hey Lowrider,How you do'in with you PWT? Hope things are running very well for you. I had a devil of a time incorpoating the PWD into my system. What started out as "a little weak on the bottom and somewhat shrill in the upper ranges" turned in... | |
| PS Audio PWT - cd transport Chris,Since taking the top off of a Perfectwave PWT or DAC is 90% of the job of changing fuses in these units, just google "ps audio perfectwave fuse". One of the first sites you’ll see demonstrates (with writing and pictures) how to remove the t... | |
| PADIS vs Furutech fuses Thanks for the info. | |
| PADIS vs Furutech fuses I have a question about burn-in. I'm an ex-musician, not an ex-electrician, so putting something together like Al's burn-in device is going to be outside my comfort zone. Not to mention, I have a lot of different sized fuses in my system and if ... |
