| Magicos are chesty @shadorne My guess is you are hearing the sound of the polypropylene plastic bucket that houses the midrange. Well, it certainly IS in that range. Are you guessing about the Magico's midrange construction or is that known? Best,E | |
| Mixing balanced and unbalanced inputs/outputs on Ayre preamp - amateur question! Whether a particular input is better than another is equipment dependent. But yes, you can mix/match input types and output types. Usually people like to use balanced for their most important DAC, and then run RCAs for everything else.For instance... | |
| Watts, and clarity. Some guy. Are you kidding? Bob Carver is a genius and do you think he would actually make that crap up? I'm saying that a video from the 1980's about Bob Carver saying he heard about some dude is a ridiculous way to buy an amp. E | |
| Magicos are chesty the shift from V to Q to M was all about reducing any colorations frankly such that at first blush the M sounds bland and lacking at the frequency extremes. Well that sure does sound like they have their audience figured out! | |
| Magicos are chesty I also think that if you're drunk it's better to criticize Magico owners than most other brands. Tekton owners would pop a cap in your ass. Well, I would never criticize anyone for owning what they like to listen to. :) And for some with the... | |
| Magicos are chesty I have said this about all the Magico's I've heard other than the M1 I think it was. I too agree that many are told that this is what music sounds like. That's really interesting, @cstooner , because when I posted my S1 Mk II review I got no... | |
| Magicos are chesty Hi @profThanks for the kind words. How certain? About 60-70%, given the lack of a controlled environment.The main reason is that I've heard this unique flavor only in Magico's but in two different rooms and models. The first time I heard Magico sp... | |
| Watts, and clarity. Anyway at about 6:06 into the video Bob Carver discusses his friend that did the testing. So a video of Bob Carver in the 1980's saying he heard from some guy .... :) Credible claims tend to be reproduced, especially when they end up in selling... | |
| Is anyone aware of a 2 channel preamp.... Forgot to mention, read the docs carefully. The P7 has bass management, but in HT mode, it disables it's internal bass management in favor of external. | |
| Is anyone aware of a 2 channel preamp.... So you know, the 2 sub out is usually just a convenience. It is not usually electrically superior to using a Y-splitter. Parasound has the P5, P7 (recommended) and now the NewClassic 200http://www.parasound.com/200_Pre.phpI also think the Zpre has... | |
| Parasound Zpre3? I'm a Parasound fan. What about the newly introduced New Classic 200 Pre? Phono AND a new digital section. http://www.parasound.com/200_Pre.phpI found the ZDac one of the best < $1,000 dac's out there.Best,E | |
| Magicos are chesty Though I believe I know the coloration you are talking about with "chesty," there’s also the case FOR voices sounding "chesty." You read my mind, @prof. I was kind of wondering how this helped. I mean it seems deliberate, so why is the choice ma... | |
| Chord Hugo power supply help @kalali Yes, you could use a 100A supply on the device and the Chord would be safe. Let me help you understand why. Your math is right, but you miss that current (I or A) is dependent on V and R. It's not the other way around. We can induce the R ... | |
| No sound - Please Help Try a battery. Any 1.5 to 9V will work. It should make some sound when you connect it. Polarity doesn't work, and the voltage is so low it's safe. Best,E | |
| Magicos are chesty No, they are not. :) But they sure are in a much better space. I was drunk when I wrote this. I meant, I heard the Magico's in a very well treated listening room. |
