| To active speaker or not.. this is the question ATC might fit your musical taste. They are used by Matty Spindel (engineer Santana Supernatural) and David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) as well as Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull). You need to listen as they meet all your criteria except they are not overly war... | |
| Aftermarket Fuses @oreganopoop Just a smidgen of ethics would hold most people back from actively promoting and helping others make money off of a scam. But obviously you wouldn’t understand what that is. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @jay23 Rather narrow dispersion in the top octave will give it a horn like character. The vertical response is rather uneven in the mid range which is a little more concerning. Overly Bass heavy but so are more than 70% of current day speakers.Ove... | |
| TEST: Older R2R Tube DAC vs Newer Delta-Sigma Solid-State DAC I agree. If you add some RCA old 50’s long plates in the tube amp instead of Gold Lions then you would hear a big difference. The difference between DACs is often grossly exaggerated. Differences there are but they are often subtle. | |
| How is the EAR 843P Deluxe vs. Modern phono preamps? This is a classic. Tube sound done old school and at its best. Let me know if don’t want it as I am possibly interested. An 868PL is an amp I would love to own too. | |
| Aftermarket Fuses @analogluvr +1 Racketeers - especially true since they work as a team with multiple accounts all pushing the same junk. | |
| Cable Burn In +1 @n80 Keep digging Geoff, Capisci? | |
| Aftermarket Fuses @mapman +1 Agreed. He and oregondad could win a Lewis Carol contest for nonsense. They both claim miraculous voodoo vorpal sword products with wonderous properties to slay the frumious bandersnatch that haunts the mimsy borogroves, who gyre and gi... | |
| Tube Preamp @mista_p I agree the C2600 is a lovely tube preamp and DAC especially with tubes that suit to taste, a bit beyond the OP budget however. I would add that the DAC benefits from a Schiit Eiitr which seems common for most DACs as so few are completel... | |
| Cable Burn In @geoffkait Geoff, On the contrary, I am happy and sleep peacefully knowing that the bogeyman doesn’t exist and is not hiding under my bed or causing strange distortions in my hi-fi. I am happy not needing to buy voodoo tweaks or strange pebbles or... | |
| Cable Burn In @n80 It’s a mad mad world. Some audiophiles will believe any tomfoolery that any tomfool cares to invent. It’s a mugs game for the unscrupulous who spend hours here promulgating “fear marketing” that says folks are not getting the best out of thei... | |
| Work Headphones Under $200, sealed, easy to drive Seinheiser HD 25 Pro. Excellent isolation, comfort and tremendous dynamics. Works well with iPhone or other low power amp. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Agreed, Magico S5 is also SOTA. It is all relative anyway. I would be happy with Magico S5 although I don’t aspire to SOTA as my goal is more towards classic design with history and proven track record - designs that have withstood the test of tim... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @sciencecop I am surprised the NRC amp cannot drive 4 ohm load at high frequencies - very little power required as the tweeter is 94 dB sensitivity - so at 95 dB SPL perhaps only a couple of watts? So I am still puzzled - perhaps the sensitivities... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! I Don’t understand the statement “lowest THD measured at NRC” - the measurements are good (excellent speaker) but simply cut off at -50 dB. I can’t find the statement in any of the articles except the Magico website.What is concerning is the devia... |
