| Magico mini 2 versus Magico mini 1 BTW,just a little update about my good friend's Mini version II's. Previously I jumped the gun,a bit,referring to the upper midrange as slightly lacking in air,although I loved the speaker.I must confess,"that" was with 170 hrs on the new speakers... | |
| Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ? Just wanted to put in my two cents,after a long break.I now have very good experience with this design,in my own set-up.I hope I can put a little different spin on things,though it's still an enthusuastic review,of sorts.I believe I may have to "e... | |
| Cartridges & Sensitivity to VTF Dre j,I have only gotten experience in this critical domain over the last eight to ten years.Having been in the hobby for 35 years,I'd say the first twenty or so,was my "know nothing" era. My last ten years have been spent with Tranny's.They are A... | |
| Cartridges & Sensitivity to VTF The "overall" system has to be capable of resolving the "very subtle" aspects of some of the stuff found on the best pressings.It is NOT only the cartridge. Line noise,amongst other factors can cover up differences normally heard in the 1 to 2 hun... | |
| Pros and cons of the Magico Mini vs MBL 101E Kusina,finally someone who feels,as I do,about the "way over-rated" MBL speakers. Of course everything I state is "soley" my personal opinion,but I have heard the MBL's on numerous occassions(at shows)And have never even remotely liked them.My pal... | |
| Magico mini 2 versus Magico mini 1 BTW,David....Some direct competitors would be Ridge Street Audio Sason,Dynaudio C1,JM Labs Micro Utopia,Sonus Faber Guarnieri Memento etc. I have heard the first version Sonus,and Dynaudio,as well as the JM Labs.NONE of them are as good as the Mag... | |
| I envy what you know, not what you have A real compliment,to be mentioned in this company( I don't deserve this),and my own humility has been tested,and polished over time.I have definitely learned,and experimented from many subscribers here.My own personal approach to this forum is to ... | |
| Magico mini 2 versus Magico mini 1 I am referring to the MINI II,which EBM owns.He,previously had Kharma speakers(1.0)which had a very open and airy upper midrange,hence my nit-pick of the Minis,in this area.Basically,when playing the same reference discs we use for all occassions,... | |
| Magico mini 2 versus Magico mini 1 I have heard EBM's Rowland 8t Mini set-up,and will confirm that the Rowland is miraculously good.Neither EBM or myself have ever really heard the Mini model 1,but from everything we have read(other posters,and owners)confirm that the model II is s... | |
| Intuitive Summits & R.S. Audio Sasons? Robert,you missed mentioning the benefit of not having the crossover in the same box as the drivers,with the new version Sason.Are you sure you were familiar with the Ascents? -:) | |
| Intuitive Summits & R.S. Audio Sasons? Rx8man,c,mon the Ascents REALLY was your fav design,as well as Robert's,before the Sason?-:)....You are putting me on.No?(just kidding,btw). A question...What EXACTLY is "Rothboard",other than the play on letters,from the designer's name. Also,if ... | |
| Intuitive Summits & R.S. Audio Sasons? I have been fascinated with tha Sasons ever since discovering the website two years ago.I have learned that there are some fine designers that fly under the radar,which is a good thing if one does not want to pay for advertising,and dealer costs,b... | |
| Who has heard the new Avalon's? I must tell you that as good as the newer Avalons are there has been a change in company policy in the last few years that makes me suspicious of the newer ported enclosures.Originally Avalon touted a sealed enclosure with a "Q" of point five as t... | |
| Has anyone had experience with the Schroeder Arm I was not going to reply anymore to this thread because of all the DRAMA my original question stirred.Thank you, to all of you, for your well intentioned responses.Especially Frank.It is unuasual to see a designer and manufacturer respond.It shows... | |
| Graham 2.2 damping fluid amount? I spent a good deal of winter 2004 on this in my system and a friend's similar setup.The amount of fluid drastically affects performance across the board.However I found that with each level change the vta and tracking force could be fine tuned un... |
