| Jumpers and attenuators on Magnepans....... Sorry guys, I should have mentioned that I use Kimber 8tc, which, apparently is a good cable. I like bass, so I would also be interested to hear if any of you are familiar with cables known for good bass also.What are your opinions on those paper-... | |
| Ia a good amp more important than a good DAC? Thanks a lot for getting involved in my question guys. I am learning a lot but typical of this hobby I seem to have moved one step forwards but two steps back regarding decision making, but I am loving the debate.Sorry, I am a beginner and never t... | |
| What do you gain from bi-amping Magnepan 1.6s or Timrhu - Thanks for saving me the reading in the link which I am sure would have confused me, though i do appreciate Rodman sending me the link. Your response perfectly answers the question for me. OK, here is another question - do you guys find a... | |
| What do you gain from bi-amping Magnepan 1.6s or Thanks guys.Sufintanil - thanks, this is some very basic info but very enlightening to me as a beginner. I would have thought using 2 amps on each speaker would have more appropriately been called "quad amping"Roxy54 - Yes, you are probably right ... | |
| Ia a good amp more important than a good DAC? Very interesting to hear your responses so far guys - thankyou. To Bob Reynolds . yes, simply because of price, though apparently it is a very good player though it is the only one I have had so can't really compare.To Jax 2 - agree with you but I... | |
| What do you gain from bi-amping Magnepan 1.6s or Hi Narrod. I see, I always thought a mono amp on each speaker was bi-amping. Four amps then, wow. For all the reading and internet googling I have been doing I missed that. OK, here is a list - what do I actually gain moving up the list:(1) A ster... | |
| What do you gain from bi-amping Magnepan 1.6s or With all due respect, should I not ask questions to gain knowledge? I am new to all this as you know but are you suggesting I should ask only the most basic of questions and stay at that point? | |
| Magnepan, How Low Can You Go...power-wise Thanks guys.Macdadtexas, thanks for the input. I realize that to make the Maggie 3.6s sing you need good power. What I am getting at is what is the lowest power amp you could use but still get GOOD sound - would 150w at 8ohm from a good integrated... | |
| Magnepan, How Low Can You Go...power-wise Nissancrazy Thankyou. When you say 150 - 200w will run Magnepan speakers what model are you referring to? I am curious about the 3.6s. I assume that as you go up the line of Mag speakers you need more power. What kind of power is in those Bryston ... | |
| Magnepan, How Low Can You Go...power-wise Just hopping on here to thank you guys for the input so far - very appreciated.To Magfan -I am going to check out the specs on that small BelCanto- thanks for the suggestion. | |
| Magnepan, How Low Can You Go...power-wise Thanks for all the input guys. Yes, I realize that more power helps and it would be nice. However, I am hopping on a plane and can't carry heavy separates. Plus, if I put any gear into checked luggage customs are alerted straight away and a heavy ... | |
| Question on DACs........... To Pubul57 - I was simply going to use the Supernait as the amp and the 840 as the source. Am I missing something? Possible as I am pretty new to audio. Does this make sense? | |
| Question on DACs........... Great info Kbarkamian - thankyou.In TAS the review on the Cambridge Azur 840c ($1,500) the reviewer states that you would need to spend $6000 to get a CD player that sounds as good as this. It sounds great to me, but then again I have never had so... | |
| Question on DACs........... I have a pair of Dali Ikon 7s which need very little power and I also have Maggie 1.6, which surprisingly enough I was running off the Naim Nait51 (50 w per channel) and they worked ok but light up much more with more power. Right now (last day or... | |
| Question on DACs........... Thanks for the answers so far guys.To Pubul157 - I hear what you are saying. I like the simplicity of the integrated approach and the portability (I live away from home for a good part of the year) but I am looking for more audio quality and a lit... |
