    Re-imagining "Class A" Amplification

    Thanks. btw, I love that diffuser you have there on your wall, did you make it yourself? It looks like a beautiful piece of art instead of what most look like they belong in a recording studio.

    Re-imagining "Class A" Amplification

    That is perfect Gary, thanks for your reply and posting the pics. They look really well made. I'm using an old Class D (or rather Class 'T' as ESLabs call it, as they use a Tripath module to drive the MoSFet output devices), and it sounds good with my Maggie 1.7i's, but a pair of these may...

    Re-imagining "Class A" Amplification

    How is this possibly an image for giving a size context?? How big is the speaker behind them? It could be a small bookshelf model or a massive floor stander. Something that everyone knows should be used, such as,,, a mobile phone, or PC keyboard, or something that people will recognise. This is...

    Where can I find website with a list of all Magnepan products and current prices?

    Hi Jp, Thanks for the info. It seems they've got things up n running again in the last couple of Months. It aslo seems Erik, in marketing, has been working on the new site. They may have manufacturing staff now, let's hope, as I'm still waiting for a 1.7i replacement panel. I've tried calling...

    Where can I find website with a list of all Magnepan products and current prices?

    JP - I'm afraid your 'understanding' is incorrect. May I ask where your understanding came from? There are only TWO employees there now; one guy in 'marketing' and another who's just returned from a many year absence, to solely occupy the 'Service' Dept! Apart from the owner, that's it! Long...

    Where can I find website with a list of all Magnepan products and current prices?

    I'm not sure about putting their prices up, but are there still any for sale?? As far as I can tell, Magnepan has almost gone under! Sad, but true. I bought a new pair of 1.7i's last year, and the LH panel was faulty, with a loose floppy panel which buzzed/vibrated against the backplate with...

    Help with fuse bypass in Magnepan 1.7i

    It is NOT a bypass if the fuse is still active, then you wrap it with a crummy piece of copper foil! It's only a bypass if you 'blow' the fuse itself first, then wrap it. Your suggestion is THE worst suggestion in this topic.

    Help with fuse bypass in Magnepan 1.7i

    No, it's easy peasy - remove the connector (the black one from the bottom of the fuse holder, but at the binding post side) then replace the eylet of the black wire with an eyelet with a male spede connector, then plug the yellow wire straight onto that - job done, and VERY easy to go back to...

    Help with fuse bypass in Magnepan 1.7i

    That is the worst of all methods! You still have the crappy fuse, and now you have an impure piece of copper, as well! VERY bad idea, IMO.
