| Tweaking the Magnepan 1.7s Someone needs to come out with an adjustable resistor, audiophile quality, for use with the 1.7! | |
| Tweaking the Magnepan 1.7s Has anyone experimented with resistors of a smaller value than the one that came with the 1.7? I find the stock resistors cutting just a tad too much... | |
| Tweaking the Magnepan 1.7s The Mye stand isn't quite an option for me as I live in HK. They charge $7xx just for SHIPPING alone to HK... | |
| Tweaking the Magnepan 1.7s I just took delivery of mine today! My first Planar! In total shock! I have listened to Maggies dozens of times at dealer's showroom but they never impressed me. In my room, a familiar setup, I thought they are affordable enough even as an experim... | |
| Halcro DM68 or Pass XA 200.5? My vote goes to Pass.I am sure Halcro, Soulution and Spectral are all very technically competent amplifiers, but for some reasons, they simply do not move me. Good news is, they are SO different in sound, you will be able to tell which 'school' yo... | |
| Personal amp evolution Jadis DA-60 -> Mark Levinson No.331 -> Mark Levinson No. 33H -> DartZeel NHB-108 -> Pass Labs XA160.5The Pass XA.5 series is very very natural sounding. Tonally excellent. | |
| Tube amp selection- for Magnepan 1.6QR The Jadis unfortunately is one of the least refined sounding amp from the Jadis lineup.How about a pair of EAR890 Bridged? | |
| Berkeley DAC into preamp or amp ? I am using a preamp with my Berkley only because I am using the DartZeel pre and power which sounds best only with the 50ohm Zeel cable... otherwise, I would ditch the preamp as well, assuming I have no analog source. | |
| Jadis DA 60 Integrated DA60! My first 'real' amp! Believe it or not, I had it during my college years! I had a Wadia 6i CD Player, DA60 and B&W Silver Signature. What a very memorable setup. | |
| How good of a DAC is the Logitech Transporter I use a stock Transporter. Also have a TacT 2.2XP and a EMM labs DCC2 SE (my digital stuff).Lets just say the Transporter DAC breaks new ground imho at this price bracket. You will need to spend a LOT more to get a LITTLE better sound. It's certai... | |
| Speaker cabinet construction.. Indeed...once they decide on ported design, no matter how much effort they put elsewhere, the result will likely be less than ideal... | |
| Confused by ICE applications A few yrs back, I bought a few Acoustic Reality ICEPower monoblocks to drive my then Revel Salon.The ICEPower monoblocks made me sell my Mark Levinson No.33H that I used to drive the Salon.ICEPower is simply fantastic. I now use a DarTZeel but kep... | |
| Magico Mini 2 vs Kharma Midi Exquisit vs MBL 101s By effects, I guess I was referring to bass with no pitch... like the hall rumbling after the hammer strikes in Mahler Sixth. I find Timpanni to be fine... but perhaps not a bass drum (again, no pitch)...64 ft pipe organ, dont know about this one,... | |
| Magico Mini 2 vs Kharma Midi Exquisit vs MBL 101s Music range Mini II is plenty. not just plenty, but tuneful and very well defined.Effect-range bass... a sub would help. | |
| Magico Mini 2 vs Kharma Midi Exquisit vs MBL 101s I am using a Torus (however, just one) with my Mini II, but honestly, the Mini II really don't need a sub unless you are looking for 'effects'. Musically speaking, the Mini II alone is all you will need. |
