    Re: Tidal new pricing

    For one thing. If you buy a yearly subscription you save at least one month in cost per service. Last year I was looking for a yearly subscription for Tidal and one had to go to BestBuy to get it....

    Re: 5 Signs You Own a Bad Hi-Fi

    1. The ground loop hum in your system has you tapping your toes.

    2. You no longer can listen to your favorite heavy metal bands because your woofers come free from their cabinets.

    I look forward to new music Friday's on Roon via Qobuz and Tidal. Qobuz usually adds a lot more classical and Jazz than Tidal. But, I usually can find some new saved music. I also will watch or read...

    Re: Magico S3 (2023) Listening Impressions

    I used the Gaia under my A3's not knowing the difference and wanting to spend a little less. Used them like that for about a year. I then had the opportunity and privilege to have Peter MacKay from...

    Re: Tips and trick I've learned for the S3's

    I can feel the vibration on the lower back of the speakers around and near the terminals. Not a lot but compared to the square A3's. It is noticeable. I don't think it effects the sound I'm hearing....

    Re: Magico S3 2023 finally arrived

    These speakers just perform at a level I've never heard in any system I've owned. Of course I've never invested this much in any speakers. But, definitely worth ever dollar. I have over four hundred...

    Re: Magico New S-Sub Info

    With the Magico A3's I used two SVS Pro 1000 subs. Setting the cutoff to the SVS is important with any Magico speaker. I was pretty happy with them and how they integrated with the A3's.

    With the...

    Just went with the black. Any other color I felt might take longer than I wanted to wait. I was told the built time would be 7-14 days and it turned out to be around 10 days from the order date.

    Looks like a Magico speaker out of my price range. And a bit big for my room as well.

    Clearly a vanity project. I'm a big Pink Floyd fan from way back. But, I couldn't make it through this effort in reading poetic text.
