Magico Q7 . . . wow
I checked...they were the Q5s. 
Powered subwoofers running into power amp?
El redundo amundo. "Loading" of the low impedance balanced signal from a pro audio mixer to the balanced inputs of pro amps in the real world is nearly non-existant, and nobody who mixes shows (like me, for decades) worries about this even when us... 
Cable re-burn in
Can excessive gear burn-in lead to burn-in burnout? Can you be burned by listening to non burned-in gear? Can burn-in lead to burn up in extreme cases? If you lower the temperature of a listening room does your cable reverse burn-in? Is reverse bu... 
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE LINN K 9 CARTRIDGE?
I stuck a Sumiko Pearl on an Akito and it sounds AMAZING...inexpensive little gem. 
Magico Q7 . . . wow
Were those the Q5s? Maybe they were...I'll check...if they were the Q5s, please apply everything I said to the Q5s, and not the Q7s if in fact that's what they were. If they were the Q5s, they were huger than I remembered, and if the Q7s are huger... 
Kelsie/KAVD/Kavent gone?
That's too bad, and makes me wonder what happened to whatever gear was left over, although I assume it was sold someplace. I also hope that anybody who repairs Vincent stuff could fix my preamp if it ever needs it since it has "Vincent" printed ri... 
Magico Q7 . . . wow
I heard the Q7s at Goodwin's gigantic room. They are (like all Magicos) a completely insane design and I'm glad they're out there, just like I'm glad somebody makes Bugattis. For my final opinion (on the Q7s) please have 6 people squeeze 'em into ... 
Powered subwoofers running into power amp?
Actually...plenty of powered bass bins (Mackies for example) have a "pass through" feature that will work exactly as you described. I've sent stereo signals to a powered sub equipped with SIGNAL outs from it to pro powered main speakers, and it wo... 
jolida fx10
If it's a "desktop" setup it maybe makes sense, but a used (or even new) tube integrated with more watts per side (like a Jolida or Primaluna something or other) can be relatively inexpensive, sound similar, and allows you to get some real juice g... 
Digital Emperor has no clothes
Yeah...a LOT more fun. 
Digital Emperor has no clothes
Tonyangel...your system IS high end, I bet it sounds great, and you clearly dig it...I have the same sort of stuff and have had a similar reaction to HDTracks...hit or miss just like everything else in art and music. I checked out some Magico Q7s ... 
Digital Emperor has no clothes
Are we having fun yet? 
Digital Emperor has no clothes
I was referred to this article by a successful tube amp designer...I have no opinions...except maybe these: A basic reality of audio is that better built gear sounds better, and better recordings sound better on that gear. Astonishing. I like the ... 
Jolida 502 KT120 tube swapping
Don't be sorry. I appreciate the feedback and respect your technical tweak choices, although you assume I have the ability to install, match, and adjust this stuff when I rarely venture past soldering something that looks unsoldered. That said, I'... 
Speaker for Rogue Cronus Magnum with high WAF
Totem Forests maybe.
