| Integrated Amp to match with Magico A3 Just saw this online. The A3 and Luxman 509x are shown in the recent Toronto show. I was considering the 509x but people here were reporting that it needs some volume to sound right. https://positive-feedback.com/show-reports/toronto-audio-fest-2... | |
| Integrated Amp to match with Magico A3 I was all set to buy the A3 and the ML 585 integrated after a good audition with several amps and DACs in the same room before I got to that combo. I approached it from both much more expensive gear (top end ML separates + Chord DAVE) to lower pri... | |
| One speaker observation from the New York Hifi show. How does one compensate for the seating position being slightly closer to the left speaker from the ideal equilateral triangle.

| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. @velomane Thanks for the great feedback. I am semi done setting up my office and I think I will follow your advice and get the KEF Ref 1. Why take the change with the A3. Just looking at the space tells me I may have issues. I did manage to get a... | |

| Looking an original box/packing material for a Sony SCD-777ES I spoke with a expert modder to the Sony SCD-1 last month about my unit. We discussed shipping and some other things. One thing to keep in mind is that the Styrofoam packaging inside the original boxes (like mine) need to be replaced if you plan t... | |
