| Magnepan LRS+ which amps do you use ? * 100 watts or less ** Mine is in my office so it gets the most play. However, my Livingroom speakers are much better. Though the LRS+ sounds better than the Livingroom system at the moment since I moved the CODA #16 to the office. To me, the LRS+ scales with quality am... | |
| RAAL 1995 headphones, Magna and Immanis My friend Danny over at RAAL said that I can get the Magna and Immanis for a 24 to 48 hour window to listen. After that they are going to The Absolute Sound for review. I have a whole bunch of gear ready to play them on. I am looking for some a... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @hanki Thanks for the follow-up and sorry to hear about the fuse issue. Those things can give some stress. @minatophase3 congrats on the S5.5. I think you were the one going to get a Holo Serene from a friend to try out. You are going to love it... | |
| Magnepan LRS+ which amps do you use ? * 100 watts or less ** I was using my Sanders Magtech on the LRS+ for 6-months and loved it. That amp has 500 watts at 8 and 900 at 4. I had a first-world complaint about my CODA #16 on my Livingroom system, so I went ahead and put the 150-watt CODA #16 on the LRS+ for ... | |
| The Music Room They offer rather low on gear you want to sell. I sell on my own. I have bought a few things from them and returned 1 of them. That was useful since I hated the component. | |
| 15k USD Speakers for Classical and Pop Extended Listening, Near setup, Low volume @ilikeclassical I mentioned that I had the Magnepan LRS+ in my small office. It sounds amazing in there. However, if I had your room I would look into this speaker (I mentioned before) or maybe the one below it. I would use an amp like my CODA #16... | |
| Handling Heavy Amps @jfrmusic My friend and I both came to the same conclusion as you on the AHB2 when we compared it to the CODA #16. " I think the AHB2’s base has more definition and texture.". However, this was only on 1 very busy song. The others were a tie. My f... | |
| Have Luxman 509x. Considering Pass Labs INT-250 or Dan D’Agostino Progression Integrated @eclumsden Why not take a plunge into the world of separates with the Luxman c900u + m900u. Those 2 are the prior gen and available for a lot less than new. I heard them on the same system back-to-back against the Luxman 509x. Big mistake on my pa... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @firefly627s Specs do matter to me. I spoke to Doug about getting the S5.5 for my Yamaha NS5000 and he said it may work since it is a 6 Ohm speaker. I told him the 100-watt Benchmark AHB2 does work with it to some OK volume level. However, the a... | |
| Importance of a DAC's elements The DAC design that has the most variability is the FPGA type, since it is software based. My plan is to get one of those in a few years. I use a Schitt Yggi+ LIM today. It punches way above its’ price. You will hear that statement from a lot of p... | |
| 15k USD Speakers for Classical and Pop Extended Listening, Near setup, Low volume @ilikeclassical You should also consider the following. I do not like headphones, but these are. different (especially the (SR1a/SR1b). They do not replace 2-channel for me in my office, but they do serve the purpose of late-night listening. I use... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! My issue with the 07x was documented here on A’gon a few years ago. I will repeat. When I first got the 07x I found it a lot noisier than the Benchmark LA4 which I had. The 07x was supposed to an upgrade from that. I used the 07x with the CODA #8... | |
| 15k USD Speakers for Classical and Pop Extended Listening, Near setup, Low volume @audiotroy I think you mean that you DISAGREE with me about the speakers being behind. Coming from you I take that comment with some interest since you are rather knowledgeable about audio. From my perspective my brain is not messed up with the u... | |
| Is there any fan of Mettalica here? Have you guys heard the new Judas Priest release. I am a fan of this new one. | |
| 15k USD Speakers for Classical and Pop Extended Listening, Near setup, Low volume No recommendations about speakers from me on this one, but just a remark about the poster advocating for placing the speakers BEHIND the listener. I could not disagree more. As far as I know the human ear is designed with the full opening in FRON... |
