    Magico M7 2023

    Just Curious. How come Magicos use only one midrange? Most top of the line speakers have at least 2. Am sure Magico has a very good reason for this. Coherence perhaps?

    I prefer a tad warmer than neutral. My priority is dynamic and temporal contrast without being bright. Thanks!

    Lampizator Valve / Tube Rolling Review Thread

    Hi. I will read on the Aqua 274B. It seems that it is very well liked here. Is it a direct plug in or do I need an adaptor? I am running my A3 balanced. Thanks!

    Lampizator Valve / Tube Rolling Review Thread

    HI. I just bought an Atlantic 3 TRP. I opted for the Lin Lai KT88 and a stock Shuguang 5U4G. The LL KT88 seems to sound good on the get go. It sounds dynamic and expressive. The Shuguang 5U4G, i replaced with a KR RK 5U4G and this one sounded more refined and has much better imaging and...

    Phasemation PP-2000

    Interesting that the PP-2000 is better than the Blue Lace. Isn't the former half the price of the Latter?

    Phasemation EA-1200

    Shakti, the impedance range is 1.5 to 40?. This is different from the loading impedance. I read it here: https://www.audiophilia.com/reviews/2021/4/29/phasemation-ea-550-phono-amplifier Thank you very much for your kind of cooperation. We imagine you want to know the input impedance of the...

    Hi. I am interested in this phono stage. But I read that the loading value is fixed at 117.5 ohms. I wonder if this is a deal breaker for many?

    Easiest to drive Magico?

    I have listened to the Q5, Mini II, V2 and Q3 driven by the same amp. Q3 is the easiest to drive among these.
  26. B

    As expected, the Q3

    I don't think they are. Finish is still very smooth when you touch it. Thanks.
  27. B

    As expected, the Q3

    I have communicated with Magico already but would like to know what others have done. Thanks!
