| What speaker is the most musical, one you never want to sell? Every Magnepan I've ever owned? I've enjoyed other speakers, and in the short-run even been quite impressed, but once accustomed it is awfully hard to give up whatever the magic is they bring. | |
| Sharing front speakers between HT system and listening system. @cleareye2 Exactly what I need. I don't even require the VM's or even the remote control for that matter. But yes, this looks like it would do the trick and is well reviewed from what I can see as not affecting sound quality. Thx. Other replies ap... | |
| Sharing front speakers between HT system and listening system. I should have added I use the HT system daily - it is more or less my main TV even though it is a projector. As such, I don't want to put those kind of hours on the tubes. I'll put up with the inconvenience of switching the cables before taking th... | |
| Creating a Large Sound Stage Not to start an argument - but tube amps are known to throw a nice big wide immersive soundstage. This said, if this isn't on the recording and the system itself isn't good enough to resolve it - then it won't just magic it up out of nothing. Sugg... | |
| Best connection Mac Mini to Denafrips Pontus II I run a MacBook Air USB-C to Denefrips Iris then i2S to Pegasus Musician DAC. Superb. I started with USB then bought a cheap (Douk Audio?) DDC to go iS2. Immediate improvement. Had a fair deal in front of me on the Iris so pulled the trigger wit... | |
| Do I even need a dedicated stereo preamp? Agree with kennymacc. Suggest you connect with a friend and see if you can borrow a half-decent pre-amp and just try it for an evening or longer. I was excited to directly connect my Pegasus Musician DAC to my Shanling tube power monoblocs with g... | |
| Need a new CD player. Suggestions please. Could I suggest something along the lines of the Shanling ET3 transport? Use for now with your DAC and then down the road - add in a DDC I2S - such as a Denefrips Iris. It just slides in around your budget - and I can vouch for the impact of a DD... | |
| Rolling Stones - Hackney Diamonds Saw them on this tour and couldn't believe it. Figured might be the last time seeing them - they are still going strong. Another 5 years in them at least. 4 or 5 classic hit have songs never sounded better - on CD record or live. Easy decision to ... | |
| No preamp in system Impeccable timing. Had long meant to pull my old Rega Cursa pre out of of the chain - as my Shanling tube power amp has adjustable volume. Mac Air, DDC, I2S to Pegasus to Shanling to MG 1.7s. Finally got to it last night and after a disappointing ... | |
| Atmos speaker recommendations for a Magneplanar surround set up? Agreed. I'm using smaller maggies at this very moment now mounted as Atmos centre height speakers. Just need I think to take the plunge with the rears and figure out the fronts as the front wall is mostly windows. I may add a couple photos shortly... | |
| Atmos speaker recommendations for a Magneplanar surround set up? Well. It certainly isn't worth nothing. I can imagine a few people curious as to how a 2.4 system sounds - I ran 2.0 for many years. I suppose I'm trying to find the sweetspot for a bookshelf or wall mountable speaker that would work sufficiently ... |
