| Magico S1 - Dynamics and Amplifier Suggestions I'm a fan of Pass myself, but I don't see the OP's amp as the problem. | |
| Planars/ Electrostats benefits over box speakers? "As fine a loudspeaker as both companies make, the instruments and voices coming out of them sounded 1- Severely miniaturized, much smaller than in life and to the full size images coming from even the modestly-priced .7's. And 2- I found myself l... | |
| Magico S1 - Dynamics and Amplifier Suggestions Do you have any other sources you can try? If so, what are they? | |
| ELP Laser Turntable output RCA or XLR option Don't buy it unless you try it out first. I thought about getting one myself a while back. The records have to be absolutely perfect or it won't play. | |
| Receiver Go to audio advisors web site. They have some really good options (NAD, Cambridge, Marantz). | |
| Static and popping noise Try moving your PC so that its further away from the other components. | |
| Tape deck hook up to integrated amp. Yes. Its a line level source no different than a tuner or CD player. The only exception would be a phono input. You can't connect anything other than a TT to those. | |

| Static and popping noise Try plugging your computer into an extension cord and run it to a different outlet than the one your system is on. | |
| Question RE: Mac does not detect Ayre QB-9 DAC That's good news. Did they tell you what the problem was? | |
| McIntosh MA5200 "06-05-15: EffischerIt always surprises me when people don't check the manufacturer's documentation that is available online at no cost. The manual for MA5200 clearly states in three places that the MA5200 is designed for speakers with an impedanc... | |
| Purpose of white LED lights inside Wolcott amp. You use them to bias the amp. If the lights are on, that means the bias is set too high. There should be something you can turn with a small flathead screwdriver near each of the lights. Turn the screws counter clockwise slowly until the light goe... | |
| DAC question I've owned similiar speakers so I have to ask, are you trying to deal with the tweeter being bright/harsh, or is that not a factor? Are you OK with it? |
