    Tara Labs Grandmaster - I would like to try them for possible purchase

    I live in Norway where we have no local Tara Labs distribution, so I am looking for a distributor or dealer or even the manufacturer themselves to help me. I would like to try out the new Grandmaster cables in my system for possible purchase.

    Amplifiers for Magico Q7

    Nope, Microstrip. Please read what I wrote more carefully. I have not even mentioned any speakers without any chacter of its own. I have metioned speakers with as little character of their own as possible. That is quite a difference.

    I didn't write that any speaker was close to no sound of its own, Microstrip.

    Amplifiers for Magico Q7

    The speaker and the room is always the biggest compromise in terms of sound quality when you are assembling a system and choosing components. Because of that you should always start with speakers when choosing the components for your system. There are two distinct schools in terms of how to...

    Amplifiers for Magico Q7

    No, I don't crave LAMMs or Atma-Spheres. I am craving the combination of the Q7 with LAMMs or Atma-Spheres. I also crave the transparency of the Q7. So, no I don't have the wrong speakers. I do however agree with you in regards to the Dynaudio Arbiters in combination with the Q7. It is always...

    Amplifiers for Magico Q7

    The bi-amp configuration on my Q7 is one amplifier to drive the bass and another amp to drive the midbass, midrange and treble. Since the impedance of the speaker will vary with frequency, there will be a frequency range with the most demanding impedance for the amplifier(s) driving the Q7. The...

    Amplifiers for Magico Q7

    Instead of the 501 I would consider the Souluiton 701 which is based on the same SMPS technology. In regards to Devialet, I would never in my wildest dreams ever bring any of their products into my home. They don't sound good at all IMHO.

    Agreed.

    The 501 uses a SMPS like the 701. In fact the 501 were the model for the 701s design. So the 501 is very different from the 700.

    Amplifiers for Magico Q7

    Yes, they run a lot of feedback but according to their advertising the speed of their amplifir circuit makes their amplifier immune to phase distortion normally associated with feedback in other amplifiers. I used to be a Soulution distributor, so I have had a pretty in-depth training by Cyrill...

    Will future Magico models have fuller bass?

    I think your opinion on this matter is very well known by almost everyone on this forum, Caesar. I am not sure your opinion represents the majority opinion though. Actually I think most like the Magico Q-Series sound very much. Also having read quite a bit about what ideals Alon Wolf and Yair...

    Will future Magico models have fuller bass?

    The big question for me is if we will see a Q9.

    I am sorry, Mike. The link I provided is of course wrong. Track number 7 is taken from this CD - I think. http://www.amazon.de/Max-Reger-Orgelwerke-gespielt-Lindenkirche/dp/B000025ZY4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416853511&sr=8-1&keywords=Lindenkirche+%28Berlin%29

    Amplifiers for Magico Q7

    It is a good question, but it is not so much about voicing the speakers as it is about voicing an entire system. It is really important to voice the amplifier / loudspeaker combination to suite your taste even if the speakers sounds very mjch the way you like them because the amplifiers will add...

    Amplifiers for Magico Q7

    Thanks for all the good advice. This is not easy. The thought behind doing this is as follows. To get the Magico Q7 to play tonally according to my taste it needs careful amplifier selection. I would probably need to add a little warmth and tonal "fullness" to meet my priorities. A tube...

    Burmester Burmester - Art the ear - Vorführungs CDs

    Hi Gary, Yes, that was my suspicion too. I never meant that it should be considered as the real deal. What I am hoping though is that the contents (the tracks) are the same as on the original. Maybe you are in a position to verify that? Thanks, Roy

    BTW, The woman performing on track #12 on CD2 full name is Anne-Sophie von Otter and both that track and track #1 on CD2 (which are probably the two best tracks) are also on this demo SACD from STS Digital which I have: http://hifidesign.cz/doplnky/2914

    Burmester Burmester - Art the ear - Vorführungs CDs

    What I find very strange is that nobody seems to have Burmester CD 1. Not even HP had it on his list. Yet Burmester clearly stated that CD 1 and 2 were sold out on their old website. I wonder to whom those CDs are sold when none of the more prominent audiophiles of the world has it in their...

    Amplifiers for Magico Q7

    I am thinking about bi-amplifing my Magico Q7. Normally it would be a no-brainer to use the same amplifier for the top as on the bottum. However if the choice for the amplifier to drive the top was an OTL tube amplifier I think a wise choice would be to use a solid state amplifier for the bottum...

    You mean CD2 and CD3? Nobody I have ever met except possibly Mike Lavigne owns CD1. Mike are you around. I seem to rememvber you writing somewhere that you own CD1. Is that correct?

    Happy Birthday, Steve! The one you are talking about with Anne-Sophie von Otter is Burmester CD 2. This is the contents I have on each of the three Burmester CD's. The number 1 I have is a Chinese remaster claimed to be of the Burmester CD1 but I am pretty unsure if the contents is the same as...

    I own the original Burmester Art for the ear - Burmester - Art for the ear - Vorführungs CD 2 and 3 but I only have a Chinese made copy of number 1. I am very uncertain if the contents of that number 1 is identical to the real Burmeser number 1. So I was hoping somebody here owning the real...

    There is no feedback what so ever in this thread from anyone. Is the content completely uninteresting to everyone? I see no reason to continue listing my selection if this is the case.
