| Magnepan 20.1 versus Infinity IRS Beta I had owned since new a pair of Infinity RSIIa. (the next smaller EMIM equiped system from the Beta.)I now own Magnepan 3.6I would say either will allow really great mids and highs.The Infinity will do bass better. If you want 'slam' them the Infi... | |
| Power Cord Recommendation for Bryston 4B SST2 I use a Pangea AC-9 powercord, via a Furman REF20i powerconditioner on my Bryston 4B-SST2 amp.And Bryston certainly does suggest using thier in-house TORUS power conditioners with Bryston amps.Maybe if they made an aftermarket powercord, they woul... | |
| Is there any truth to this question? Used to be that high powered solis state amps had problems playing at low volumes as the distortion was much higher (at low output levels) than in a small solid state amp. If you had a big old solid state amp, you wanted to play it loud to be happ... | |

| Best DAC for $500 Best? LOL come on... thier ar tons of DACs being made now. No one has bothered to try enough to give a fair response. Anyone is just saying what they decided to buy. Or thier friend bought, or repeating some crap they read.If thier really was one ... | |
| Is there any truth to this question? Well yeah bigger amps do have some issues at low power if they are cheap.If you are using Pass or the big Bryston 28B-SST2 they are not gonna have that issue. (but they also cost $20 grand...)For cheap amps, yeah, use one sized to fit your needs. ... | |

| What contact cleaner do you recommend? The one issue for ALL the products is to use a very tiny amount. More is NOT better with a contact enhancer.So the point is put the fluid on the surface, then wipe the surface off. Not squeeky clean, but pretty dry. One only wants a few molecule t... | |
| What do you feel? Something between the itching of a severe case of shingles and being being bitten by hundreds of Alaskan giant mosquitoes....(8^Q...At other times it is likewearing a body cast of mustard plaster.. With tons of red ants crawling around inside of it | |
| Audio stuff I've lost in my own home... Ony really lost Cds from cases. Have the case.. no Cd.Never do find them.Some may have been taken to dealers for auditioning and left behind sans case. | |
| Grills ON or Grills OFF? Magnepan grills on, as taking them off is major surgery, and then the speakers look really ugly. So grills on for me.(When I have had speakers with removable grills, it was always grills off.) | |
