Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing?
@hiendmmoe That’s the problem because there is a lot of good music poorly recorded and it’s really nice to be able to comfortably listen to it. So this pure accuracy you speak about that magical magico has accomplished may not be the greatest fo... 
Reasonably priced preamplifier
schiit freya is the deal of the Century. It's amazing what has been able to do with this, a high-quality product that's built really well. Otherwise you could pay thousands for mystery boxes you have no idea what's inside them. Everything is way ... 
Home network router question
This is too damn complicated. I have a have modem hardwired to a router with various Ethernet cables feeding to network switches. I have one audio grade network switch that has an ethernet cable running to my streamer. It's really that simple. N...

Can a McIntosh 2301 Mono amplifier fuse be upgraded?  
Streaming, Getting the Signal, Then What?
What is i2s and whyis so good?  
Which power cord should you buy first
If you can tell the difference between switching power cords you are truly a remarkable human being.   I upgraded my power cord cause I feel better when I spend money on equipment. It makes me happy to spend money and that’s why I do it. I have... 
No bass on B&W 800D2
@seb_audio  I'm curious if you've had a chance to look at the Power requirements for the speakers.  I think the 800s relatively underpowered versus the 802. Crossover for the 802d3 that I have Robs a lot of power when the signal passes through i... 
Component matching expertise - how do you do it?
@mofojo Yes, but no one really knows why or if it’s even true. A lot of that is probably marketing driven. mr @ghdprentice gave a really great comment up above. I like to mix and match, I think it shows Independence. Definitely need to use matc... 
No bass on B&W 800D2
@seb_audio  I looked at the power specks for both of your speakers.   The high end of the range for the 800s is 1000 W and for the 802 first generation it's 500. To me that suggest your under powering the 800s relative to the 802s significantl... 
No bass on B&W 800D2
Can you connect only the bass drivers to your amplifiers and see how things are? It's a shame you can't compare them to the 802s. I am bi amping the 802 d3’s I have, and each speaker has 600 W mono McIntosh amplifiers to support the bass drivers.... 
Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing?
@tdudnyk  I think he means that you need to spend over $50,000 to get a quality sound from an overpriced speaker and that same quality sound was available for $25,000.  Depends on how well your Wallet leather is stretched and then $25,000 does no... 
Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing?
@rforddaddyo  what Tubes do you use on the MC 2301? How do you like the biamp config?   
Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing?
Problem is nobody has this pristine perfect acoustically designed room from which to hear these perfectly acoustically designed speakers. And then even when you do start hearing them the way God intended they’re probably too clinical and fatiguing... 
Using biwired cables on speakers with only 2 connections
@califortini  I cut out the edge of a box and slid the end of the cable inside the corrugated piece and then just put some electrical tape over it to protect the connection. So basically one side is connected and one side isn't and according to ... 
New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid
The older b&w speakers were really nice and filled the room very comfortably. Older speakers have value if they’re in good condition and it sounds like you’ve done some things to yours thank you so much to make them really nice. New speakers ...
