| Power cords for ModWright SCD-XA5400es It has been my experience that the ModWright power supply is more responsive to power cord changes than the player per se. The VooDoo Audio Vector Dragon is very good going to the power supply on the ModWright Sony. | |
| Replacement for Maggie's? Harri, When I was auditioning speakers I found 2 other speakers I thought I could live with. Those were Wilson Sophia III's (16K) and Magico V2s. My wife hated the look of the Wilsons, but was ok with the maggies. Maybe you should give the Magicos... | |
| Replacement for Maggie's? I hear you bro! The problem is that those of us who really like the Maggie sound find it extremely difficult to find something else we can live with. I suggest you listen to the 3.7's (with a sub)and then listen to other speakers in the same price... | |
| What do audiophiles listen in their cars? Schubert, I attempt to look at it as free driving lessons. Still, after about 8 hours of free driving lessons it can get old. Being the clever fellow that I am, I have instituted the following rule. "Whoever drives picks the music."So when the adv... | |
| Need a system for Chamber music--ideas? Frogman, I love deep thinkers. As usual, you comments are golden, and you articulated well my thoughts on the violin problem. To answer your question, no, I had not thought about a pair of MMG's. I've heard them, and they are great for the money. ... | |
| Where would you go after Wilson WP7? I think there is some pretty good advice given above.1) Consider loosing the Krell stuff2) Use the Wilsons in a long wall set up3) Consider Sasha/Sophia III's4) The Maggie suggestion was interesting. I'm a Maggie guy, but I really liked the Sophia... | |
| shipping boxes for heavy electronics Elizazbeth is correct. Multiple boxes, plenty of thick foam. I just shipped out my old Carys with the original packing, which included very thick foam, and 3 (yes 3!) strong thick cardboard boxes. However, I have heard that FedEX an UPS can refuse... | |
| Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95 Jwm, I will be wanting to hear from you as your 105 breaks in. I plan to go for the 105 if it is indeed a substantial upgrade over the ModWright Sony. | |
| Tube pre, SS amp incompatibility, which amp 2 use? When you say it wouldn't work, can you be more specific? I agree with Zd, I would have thought it would "work" with just about anything. Now I can imagine that it might not be an ideal match with this or that preamp, but to not "work" at all seems... | |
| Input requested on 3 options for listening room Recroom,My room is 15.5 x 19 x 8. The 3.7's work better in the room than the 1.6's I had before them. I wouldn't rule them out. By the way, If you liked the Maggies I can't imagine that you are going to like C1s. But It never hurts to listen. | |
| Need a system for Chamber music--ideas? Learsfool, its been ages since I heard the Cornwalls. I did not like them with orchestral music, but as a speaker for chamber music they might be worth a listen.Whart- I really do like the Quad suggestion. As you point out, they are legendary for ... | |
| Old vs New Magnepan 1.7 vs Tympani IV tympanis in a heartbeat! | |
| Need a system for Chamber music--ideas? Onhywy and Mapman, The room is 19 ft long, with the Maggies out 60" from the back(short)wall. My listening position is back as far as I can go, which means I'm about 12' from the speakers. I have Smith's book and found it useful. Interesting point... | |
| Need a system for Chamber music--ideas? Rok2id, I do have a few that I'm sure won't get much playing time with headphones. The headphones solves another problem too, which is early morning listening. My wife goes to bed at about 3 AM and I get up at 5. When I retire, the headphones will... | |
| Need a system for Chamber music--ideas? More good stuff! I have wondered about the Totem Manis. I should put them on my list of speakers to hear. I also like the headphone idea. That might give me a good option for chamber works while allowing me to continue upgrading the Maggie based s... |
