| OPPO or Something Else? Good luck getting it serviced in the future! | |
| Liquid Amps I would say from my experience, that the original GAS Son of Ampzilla, Pass labs XA.5 series, and Borgiono’s Spread Spectrum Technologies Son of Ampzilla 2000 power amps, all have that "warm", "liquid" sound that is very "rare" in SS amps.They sou... | |
| The Magnificent Magnepan 30.7 speakers....wait, I don’t like planars! I reserve judgement that the 30.7 is a success when someone actually buys a set, and reports their personal opinion, somewhere on the internet.As of now there is no evidence that the 30.7 is being produced, or if Magnepan is just collecting enough... | |
| Apple TV Streaming Sound Quality vs Streamer? MQA is 14.4khz just like CD The quality deference is in the mastering and not anything else IMO.Sometimes it sounds better, sometimes worse. | |
| The Magnificent Magnepan 30.7 speakers....wait, I don’t like planars! I doubt the 30.7 will be a big seller.Magnepan speakers have no snob appeal, that uber expensive buyer must have! Is it even available for sale now, after 8 months of "trotting" around the proto-type? | |
| Apple TV Streaming Sound Quality vs Streamer? Apple TV with the Tidal app sounds fantastic IMO.Tidal is only CD quality after all.I use the Sony TV optical digital out to a Gungnir Multibit D/A converter into my audio system and get great TV, BluRay, and audio playback from my iMac SSD. | |
| What's the best time to sign up for Direct TV? Get the free Apple 4K TV streaming box with 3 months prepaid Direct TV streaming before the deal ends....right now.Direct TV streaming is $35/mo and the apple box is worth $175. | |
| Art Dudley Calls B.S. but without naming names - PLEASE DO! Art Dudley has well written reviews of equipment that I would never purchase.He should go back to the 50's and live in bliss! | |
| Cardas Cables George Cardas used Magnepan speakers as his personal reference for many years, and his "legacy" cables mate very well with his speaker choice IMO.Cables have synergy with certain speakers and amplifiers.Subjective tastes and listening experience r... | |
| Dynaco A25 -Hard to Believe I liked those old acoustic suspension speakers like AR, Dynaco, Advent, etc that dominated the 60’s.Hated the bass reflex- ported type of box speakers that came to dominate the audio market after the 60’s.The East coast Vs West coast sound. | |
| Magnepan 30.7’s Wonder when the first units will actually ship to customers.They have been trying to get enough orders to build and ship, for the last 8 months. | |
| Power regenerators I used and liked a PurePower 1050 AC Regenerator for several years.Did not like that it had to warm up for 45 minutes to get the full effect even if left on 24/7.Regenerators do have an amplifier inside.Switched to a Chang LightSpeed line filter a... | |
| BaerWald vs VPI setup protractors I have tried many alignment jigs but after long term listening always go back to the VPI.IMO....YMMV. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? No low Rez streaming ever!Tidal CD quality is fine. | |
| Opinions Please - Which Turntable Rack is Better I use the VPI turntable stand, maple top plate etc., with my TNT with great results.The Timber nation is a down grade IMO!Sell the lesser VPI turntable. Why have two?? |
