I think we all can say we expected some inflation after the US government handed out so much money during covid,. I'm as politically ignorant as possible for my own personal mental health, but could see inflation coming. On the + side a year ago my...

A 10 year average has nothing to do with current realities, or in this case, the past 24 months. The past two years inflation has gone from 1.5% to 8%. The CPI average has risen nearly 13% in the past 2 years. Butter and Eggs have risen 51% and...

Has anyone for half a second stopped to think of things a different way with respect to the new S3? The reality is, the new S3 is FAR closer to an M3 than it’s predecessor. Diamond coated beryllium tweeter, far heavier speaker with higher grade...

Thats 12% a year while my job is 2.5-3% so it just leaves me 0 room for error

Not regarding Magico specifically I went out early in the year considering a couple hi-end brands and was told by the dealers of the brands the business model was to raise the prices 3% each quarter and if I was if I was interested I should move...

I personally don't understand why MQA stils up so much hostility? Maybe because my experience with it has been just as mixed as with flac or PCM. I have Tidal and Qobuz also but at this point I prefer Tidal for the size of its library and while most...

Cables I’ll leave alone. But generally, everything is affected by inflation. Everything. The bulk dog food we buy was always $99. For years. It’s now $140. It went $120, $130, $140. Inflation is the biggest middle class tax. Look at the price...

The ongoing effects of runaway inflation are causing a distortion in our price perception. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

After reading that link from Mr Peabody reading... George Massenberg, who said “I’m so relieved that MQA and SCL6 will continue under Lenbrook”…adding, “ gave us the reason to go back into the recording studio and reverse a 20-year decline in the...

It sure is pretty! LOL. We haven’t connected it. We’ve been busy with demos. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I could be off in my observations, I mean I don't have any 'spins' to back up what I notice, but even in 24/96 which is read in roon It's easier for me to hear a difference from the dac in my h590 than the dac in my c49. I do prefer MQA. To my ears...

Oh yeah. It’s not as good as M3, but it’s amazing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

The New Magico S3 with Pass INT-250 and MSB Discrete DAC - YouTube Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Our pair has now been playing for nearly 2 weeks. 24/7. They are so so so enjoyable. A real slightly warm, very organic, natural sound. As good as the previous iterations of the S3 were, these are clearly superior in every conceivable...

Thank you! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I was offered a white background and I didn’t want it. I like the black background. What’s funny is that the online/print mags are asking for “glam shots” to accompany the reviews. Guess they don’t like my poor iPhone photos. Sent...

Yes, the monos will ruin you! They are sooooooo good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I completely agree! They’re one of two of my favorite amps in the store. And clearly the Master 300’s are best looking! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Oh right. That was one of the two biggest fools on YouTube. So many of these fools trying to make a name for themselves by spouting nonsense and some of them love to spout lies. Heard the biggest fool the other day say “Vitus is bright….but I’ve...

Was this the fool that trashed NAIM or was that someone else? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

You had one bad experience with one product. You should see what I see in a daily basis from dozens of brands. I had stupid SimAudio explaining that the reason the customers CD player went bad was because he clearly must have plugged the RCA...

It seems you have had only one mission on this forum and that is to trash Lumin. You’re a troll. All of your posts are trashing Lumin. You contribute nothing else. In contrast, there are thousands of happy Lumin customers who would strongly...

So sad. I was a fan. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

True! My question is, how many people would have known to do that? How many would have spun their tails with new cables, trying a new DAC or something else? I remember when we were discussing it, changing DAC, cables, etc. was being discussed. ...

We can’t give away our secrets or we won’t have a new career as speaker whispers’! All kidding aside, we moved the tweeter back one step at a time until it was too much the other way and then went back to the perfect spot. This of course...

It already happened and Soulution too. The new owners of that distribution company have made the adjustments. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Can you describe a bit more of your setup? Speakers? Amps? DAC? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Today, other than dodging hurricanes, I was at a clients house installing his new MSB REF DAC. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

All good here, thanks guys. Looks like we got lucky and the storm stayed way north of us. We got modest wind and intermittent rain. Some debris, but thankfully nothing major. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
