    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...

    Burmester Burmester - Art the ear - Vorführungs CDs

    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...

    Anne Bisson - Blue Mind

    I just took this out from storage. I was sorting my records. When I took a look at the tracks on this LP it suddenly struck me that the best track from the digital version is missing. "New Start" is not on the vinyl version. That is very disappointing. I really like that song. Why have they done...

    Comparing components

    This is a subject worth discussing in more detail I think. How should we compare components to evaluate them for possible purchase or even to just expand our reference base. I have been given quite a bit of pepper for adding lists of possible components as suggestions when other people ask for...

    CH Precison C1 configured in mono

    I read with some enthusiasm about the possibility to use the CH Precision C1 DAC configured in a mono mode. This was described on Wizarrd's old blog. It is removed now, so I can't go back to check the details. Does anyone remember the details? From what I understood the two C1 used were not...

    Through the years I have collected my favourite tracks of audiophile quality music on some burned CD-R's I have called the Roysen's Reference series.

    Soulution 700 vs darTZeel NHB-458

    I am going to buy new amps for my upcoming purchase of Rockport Altair or Rockport Arrakis. My first choice at the moment would be Soulution 700 based on an audition with the Altair and the 700s. The sound had all of the soundstage, resolution, tonal color, richness and midband energy the...

    Impedance of Rockport Arrakis

    The impedance of the semi-active Arrakis 2 is on Rockports webpages specified to 4 Ohm and 90 db sensitivity. Can a Rockport dealer or distributor confirm that this is both for the active bass section and the passive upper section. I sure would love to see an impedance graph of the entire...

    Rockport Arrakis with darTZeel NHB-458

    I wonder about this match. Some reports that the 458s don't like low impedance loads. I wonder if the Arrakis 2 is within its comfort zone. I also wonder about the sonic match. I love the rich Rockport midrange and midbass. The Altairs sounded mighty good with the Soulution 700. I wonder how the...
