| Why do Maggies need a lot of power? I can confirm the fact that 3.6's need POWER to come to life. I tried a few amps of lower power before stepping up to a 450 watt per channel high current amp and now I have much better low level dynamics and much quicker lower bass, before the bas... | |
| good/best CD player with variable out I third the Audio Aero recommendation, the most musical player I have ever heard. | |
| Where R U????? Marakanetz- I am told I am an angel does that count? | |
| Integrated match for Martin Logan Ascents Mitch- How ya been??? Are you back in the states or still in exile ;) Haven't seen your moniker as of late, hope all is going well! | |
| Which gear to ground? I would only ground the gear that was misbehaving, it doesn't seem prudent to punish gear that is acting perfectly fine. Sorry couldn't resist! | |
| 15K system Why not Magnepan 3.6's instead of the 20.1's(around 3k used)? perhaps wolcott amplifiers(around 6k used), the resolution audio is a good player but perhaps the audio mecca mephisto II or audio aero capitole mkI would do better(3k+, may put you ove... | |
| Power Conditioners: Myth, Magic, or Necessary If I were you I would sell those power cords and enjoy the music, why upgrade if there is potentially no gain? Why do you feel you NEED power cords and possibly a power conditioner? is there something you don't enjoy about your sytem? Let me just ... | |
| The Greater Poughkeepsie Area There is a very informal club-of sorts, we are trying to get the ball rolling though all of us so far tend to keep very busy and it is rare for more then a few of us to get together at once. We start in the Manhattan area and go up to Roterdam(a l... | |
| BAT or Levinson If you like what you have and have the itch to upgrade why not get a VK-75 or VK-75se? | |
| pre jef rowland or bat 50 SE Do you want tubes or don't you? they are both highly regarded preamps and I think it boil down to synergy between what other components are in your system. | |
| Does your BAT? Have you tried floating the ground? is it coming from both channels? If its only one channel it is either a tube or capicitor, if its both channels I would put money on it being something VERY simple to fix-i.e. new/different cables or floating th... | |
| MERLIN OWNERS: Need Suggestions on Amps/Preamps Do you have the model that was designed to work with Solid state or the model designed to work with tube amps? I know he offers both. | |
| 2 channel system? I third or fourth the source recommendation, what's lost(or not read) can not be recovered down stream. Buy the best source you can this way there is no guessing about what the recording is suppose to sound like. For a while(recently) I was runnin... | |
| Speaker match for 75 watt Tenor amps Kana813- Very true a miata may very well offer more of a thrill for the money- those are amazingly fun little cars, for the money to fun ratio they can't be beat when the sun is up :) | |
| Speaker match for 75 watt Tenor amps Kana813- With all due respect I don't believe any of the speakers mentioned in this threat are "poorly designed", they all do somethings better, and I have never heard a speaker do EVERYTHING right so there are comprimises to make- that's life. Bu... |
