How are things sounding now? I have a MU2 coming in with the next batch and should be arriving soon. Sounds like I’m going to be running playlists 24/7 for quite a while.
Serious stuff..Have you compared them to some of the other ultra high end cables?
I think you used to be in the Tchernov/Hijiri clan there for a while. I am currently evaluating the Tchernov Reference DSC SC speaker cables.
Just upgraded my SONS to the new WVL ULTIMA! They are SONS on steroids! Much more articulate nuanced.
The ULTIMA uses an upgraded cabinet with the same dimensions as the SON with upgraded crossover components including Dueland capacitors and a much upgraded PSU. The field coil utilizes a...
Couple of questions regarding the LS footers:
I will likely be moving my speakers to a space with carpet and heavy padding over a concrete slab. Would I need to place some sort of base on the squishy carpeting for the footers to rest on that is more solid, or can they rest directly on the...
I am considering adding footers to the outriggers on my E-3 Mk IIs. I am currently using factory spikes on carpet with a wood sub-floor but I am considering relocating the speakers to a larger space which will have carpeting and padding over a concrete floor. Would the concrete subfloor offer...
Just a follow-up on my issue. I sent the cables back to VSA and are now cookable! Now sure what the issue was but we are in business now. Thanks, Damon!
I am having an issue with my new MB Performace Series speaker cables not being able to be conditioned on my Audiodharma Anniversary Edition Premium Cable Cooker.
The green light which indicates that the frequency sweep is active does not come on at all. The green light works with...
Thanks, Peter. I did find a pair of VTL Siegfried IIs on the used market for $27k but I would have to add a pre-amp, which I'm sure would be another $10k. I would feel more comfortable getting to know the speakers and absorbing more knowledge from people like you before going for an end-game move.
Thanks, Ron. I am a bit goosy about buying a used end-game amp, so I think I may go with an interim solution until I learn more about the speakers and what are the options in the amplifier market. Maybe the Rogue Apollos since Bob Grossman has had a good experience with them? They would be...
Thanks, Ron.
I did post a question regarding 20.7s and Rogue Apollos the other day, and unfortunately I did not receive any responses. I posted it in the Magnepan Forum.
I have read Don Salzman's review of the 20.7 and I spoke to Bob Grossman of Enjoy the Music who also reviewed the 20.7 and...
PeterA,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful response and attachment. I very much appreciate it.
I will give you a bit of information on my background, and what precipitated my post:
I was raised around music like most of us here. My dad loved music and loved his McIntosh equipment. I...
Thanks for your response. One of the things that concerns me about buying used is my perception that once a piece of equipment has had more than two owners, that there is a diminished ability to re-sell after that. I only say that because I would be wary of buying anything that has had more...
Thanks so much for the reply.
You are right...the sales bias has not changed.
I guess it will take time to discern the opinions which you can trust on the forum. I wonder if there is a way of searching for a particular piece of equipment that a member might have for feedback and advice...
