I recently heard a pair of Magnepan 1.7i driven by a McIntosh MC303. Holy cow that was awesome. I loved it.

Amazing designs and craftsmanship. Thank you for posting.

As a former Sound Lab owner (A-3s) they are all that...for the time being I make do with Quad 57s driven by a Marantz 8B:snicker:

Funny! Just want to hear the experiences we all have endured, or heck even still do. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

AUI (Audioing Under the Influence) can be dangerous. If drinking you should always have a designated Audioer. :D

Consider yourself lucky that it was the album and not the cartridge. I had a Clearaudio Concerto that I mishandled and sent to an early grave.

Is this a digital is better than analog thread? You sure sound like it!

Good article. I always was suspect of the claims that CD quality sound is the best that can be achieved. As people, we rarely get anything right...

That's incredible. Various designs and all. Impressive.

Ohhh....This hits me in my weak spot. The short answer is - I love them all, differently. My introduction to high end was a pair of Acoustat Xs,...

I believe that some of the new McIntosh amplifiers are closer to the traditional McIntosh sound than many of the newer amps. For example, the new...

I have never had the pleasure of listening to the speakers on your list, other than many Martin Logan models and a $20,000 prototype Jantzen (2009?)...

The 57's. Feed by Marantz 8b

I don't think many people want that, but maybe some do. And maybe some want live performances in opera houses to sound like recording studios. ...

This sounds very much like Almas Hi-Fi in metro Detroit. I think there is an old school Vs new school generational comparison of equipment because...

I agree, and good for a short answer. And the above is Part II of the short answer.

Some great choices, Joe. Very nice system!

If I understand your needs correctly, I think your configuration needs to be: Arris SB8200 modem > (WAN port) Netgear AC1900 Nighthawk (LAN port)...

This was my first instinct, i will try to audtion the Edison in my system and see how it preforms. Thanks for replying

Looking quite awesome Joe!!

Perhaps look for another Toslink source you might have to test the Rost digital input. Perhaps a dvd or BluRay player, CD player, or a different TV?...

You will be slightly exceeding your top end of budget, but you mentioned Brinkmann, and I would start that there with their Roont power supply. ...
