| VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage? Received my VAC 450S and it is incredible....as great as my VAC 300.1a was, this is better...more holographic, makes the speakers disappear even more, etc. And I have non-flagship VAC preamp (Ren Mk III) which I love. Took delivery of the Magico S... | |
| Magico S5 review VAC sig preamp plus 450 monos = nirvana. Lucky u. | |
| Magico S5 review Knghifi,I am a VAC addict. The 450S is incredible...last amp I will own. The VAC Renaissance MK III preamp is incredible as well. Beautifully built, and superbly functional. I recently owned the Conrad Johnson GAT preamp. I ran the VAC and GAT sid... | |
| Magico S5 review Thanks - I did not hear them in the same system or same room. The Q series struck me as having a tiny bit of a bleached analytical emphasis in comparison to S - Q definitley is super detailed and fast like a planar speaker and huge sound stage wit... | |
| Magico S5 review I have heard the Q3 and the Q5 and the S5. I bought the S5. All Magicos are state of the art IMHO. I currently own new Magnepans. I will be selling them. Might sound like hyperbole...one S5 speaker almost beats two magnepans, and I didn't think I ... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Just hooked up last amp I will buy - VAC 450S. Unbelievable. Amazing harmonics, timbre, speed, impact. Spatial and organic fullness make speakers disappear. Worth every penny. | |
| Stillpoint Ultras anyone? Got them and put them under my Clearaudio Innovation Wood and using stillpoints bases under ultra 5s. I can literally bang the symposium shelf and nada -impervious to vibrations. Sonically dynamics are better, as is spatial resolution as is last i... | |
| Stillpoint Ultras anyone? Getting 3 Ultra 5s next week to try under my Clearaudio innovation wood turntable. Excited to hear the difference. | |
| Stillpoint Ultras anyone? I have minis, and ultra aluminum (better), and Ultra SS (even better). | |
| VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage? I agree with Mbump. I have not heard anything in my system better than the Herron VTPH-2. no upgraditis on the phono preamp front. | |

| $3500 integrated amp for Zu Definition speakers? Decware new zen torii III is AWESOME especially with those sensitive speakers.I own VAC and love it.CJ CA200 would be great choice too -- I have the PR350 bigger brother to CA200 and it is awesome.I have a simaudio i5.3SE (willing to sell for $2k)... | |
| Crisp sounding tubes for Modwright 5400ES I let the create tube burn in for 3 days per distributor/seller. It sounds better. Midrange glare is gone. Some upper treble hardness that reminds me i am listening to a digital facsimile is still present. While it has more apparent spatial and mi... | |
| Magico Q7 . . . wow I just ordered the Magico S5 speakers. Was going to upgrade from Maggie 3.7 to 20.7 -- love the speed and wall of sound, but struggle with moving up to an even bigger 20.7 footprint to get more weight/low end extension -- so giving Magico a go in ... | |
| Crisp sounding tubes for Modwright 5400ES I either have a bad tube or my ears are telling me Mullard is better. Or Create isnt broken in. |
