| Magtech Not familiar with the pre, but bought the amp on many recommendations here when I got my 3.7's...First amp died due to a couple of parts touching, something that Roger had modified in his latest version. He replaced the amp, instead of repairing i... | |
| New tubes or new preamp? I've been running direct from my Oppo 105 for a bit, as I returned the tubes ARC sent , and just have an old set of Sovteks that are not good, to say the least. Will have to get a decent set of tubes so I can sell the LS15 in good conscience, and ... | |
| What is the best sounding amp for Maggies 3.7? I bought a Magtech when I bought my 3.7's and am very pleased with it. I even have considered the mono version but just didn't want to invest that much. They need lots of power and seem to be a good match, so far. Didn't try anything else because ... | |
| New tubes or new preamp? Russ69, What did you get to replace it? | |
| New tubes or new preamp? Good advice all...I've recently upgrades my speakers to Magnepan 3.7's, and bought a Magtech amp. Still not getting the sweet sound I'd like. As I tried new tubes from ARC and still wasn't where I'd like to be, thought either a tube upgrade or a n... | |
| New tubes or new preamp? I got a set of tubes from ARC and they were so microphonjc I Sent them back. Really want to know if spending money on an older per is worth it versus a new one. | |
| Tube pre picking up feedback/vibration? Finally dug up an old set of Sovtek tubes, probably from many years ago, that were in a box in the basement. Put them in and took out the new ones ARC had sent me ...and no more noise, microphones, whatsoever!To say I'm disappointed that they woul... | |
| Tube pre picking up feedback/vibration? Thanks...great suggestions . I'll try to get time and let you know what I find. | |
| Tube pre picking up feedback/vibration? Still not happy with the results of the new tubes. Emailed ARC and they basically said all is well. Now I notice a low hum from one channel and reversing the wires leads me to suspect the tubed. What exactly will a bad tube sound like? Hear the hu... | |
| Bryston 7B with Gallo Reference 3.5 speakers I've not used the Bryston, but bought a new Magtech to replace my Gamut D200. Driving VSA vr4jr's, th difference was dramatic in some areas. I never knew what the bass of these speakers was like until they had the power reserves of the Magtech. Re... | |
| Tube pre picking up feedback/vibration? Thanks . Will try to get this done today. Yes, retubed. Thank you spell checker!!Tubes were purchased for ARC, 2 weeks ago, and I assumed they would check for defects before they were sent out. Go figure!Again, thanks for the advice. | |
| Magnepan 3.7 and Nuforce Reference 18 I wouldn't dream of declawing a cat. Sorry, but it's cruel in my eyes. I'll find a solution...maybe the repellant sprays...or a plastic covering....Water bottle works well too... | |
| Magnepan 3.7 and Nuforce Reference 18 Just unboxed a Sanders tonight as well...the 3.7's are still in the box on the floor, as I hooked up my VS4 jr's to see what the amp would do..I have a Gamut d200, Mk 2, a very nice amp, but the Sanders has added a lot of weight to the sound. Cert... | |
| Omage Speakers. Bought some for a bar/restaurant and they sounded like crap!You couldn't make out voices well at all.You would be smart to shop elsewhere, I would say. | |
| Shelby Lynn: Just a Little Lovin LP Awful!!... And such great songs. No reply from the manufacturer when I wrote to complain. Didn't know they did a reissue but I can understand why. How does this type of stuff pass QC??? |
