| Which area of components to spend the most $ on? Boy I was wrong all my life! audiotroy1,424 postsThe OP just discovered that a system is dependent on the quality of all of its components. I agree. As an aside I consider the best reviewer to be the lone audiophile. This is because he is intimately aware of his own sys... | |
| Who owns Ayon amps? I have an Ayon Eris. It is a preamp. No complaints. It is not as silent as two other Preamps I own - a Daniel Hertz M6 and an Emm Labs Pre2. This is minor and the 'noise' when one puts one ear to the tweeter is vastly less than surface noise f... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G Why would anyone buy a TT with rubber band when they can have a direct drive? | |
| Turntables When you get a TT you are not just getting a TT. You are getting a lot of baggage: [i] Cartridges; [ii] Phonostages; [iii] Another cable or two (and you really do have to get a quality cable as the signal is about a 1000th of a line stage signal... | |
| Am I the only one that finds the "Round thumbnail frames" irritating on classifieds? I agree | |
| Monitor Audio Platinum or Magico A3 The ATC P1 is the same amplifier module that is in many of the world's professional studios - see the ATC website for an astonishing list. It could drive my cellos with ease. You must have a fab system if it not up to spec with other components.... | |
| Mytek slams Hypex in Stereophile Amp Review @addyson815If your going to copy and paste something from an article, you shouldn’t do just part of it. There is a perfect refutation of this in Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. I wanted to quote the part but ... Oh come on?? | |
| Monitor Audio Platinum or Magico A3 @ johndoe21ro Thank you very much for your considered reply. An upgraded Triangle is out of the question. I could go for a Sopra or Canton if I wanted to go down that route. The Sopras were a vast step above the Triangles and the Cantons w... | |
| Monitor Audio Platinum or Magico A3 I have the SW2. I think that is the one before the latest version. | |
| Ayon's "Scorpio" tube imtegrated amp vs PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium tube integrated??. I do not own a PrimaLuna but am very familiar with them. Very good. I own a Ayon Eris preamp. Not a one-to-one comparison to be sure but the Ayon is distinctly higher up the food chain. | |
| Monitor Audio Platinum or Magico A3 I certainly did jackd. I have also auditioned them twice. I have Triangle Cellos and the Canton K3 were similar in presentation but just all round better. (The same thing can be said for Focal Sopras). In a sense the Cantons (or the Sopras) wo... | |
| Monitor Audio Platinum or Magico A3 @zzriderThey did not make my shortlist. I am a big fan of good looks and they are stunning. Also liked the tweeter supertweeter concept.@jhajeski nearest dealer is 420 km away. Love driving my Nissan - but not that much.@ricred1 actually I don... | |
| The Absolute Sound vs Stereophile Stereophile for choice. They do measurements which gives them more weight. Actually I can't be bothered with mags that do not. Hi-Choice and Hi-News also in the higher league. Also enjoy Stereo from Germany.I enjoy Fremer's madness, Dudley's m... | |
| Monitor Audio Platinum or Magico A3 Thanks guys for the input so far. My room is a tad narrow but is of 'average size' and I have diffusers to the rear and point of first reflection. Associated gear is Pass X150.8 and Ayon Eris Pre. LP and PC with Dac for source. I still have t... | |
| Monitor Audio Platinum or Magico A3 Eric that is interesting. In terms of audition I have had two auditions of the Magico A3. But the Monitor Audio Platinum II would be a blind (or is it deaf) buy. The reason I say that is interesting is that I would have thought it would be the... |
