Re: Magico Titan
I don’t think it has anything to do with the Q series. Isn’t “Q“ a designation or measurement for dampening or resonance? I think it’s a new generation of subwoofers. The Q line is more or less...

Re: Magico M6 Review
They never play a simply string quartet or concerto. That would be more revealing through these videos, IMO. I will say there is a lot going on in that video.

I can not afford a speaker like the Magico M9, though I would love to own the M3. In Tokyo perhaps even the M2. I do have the Q3s and think they are wonderful speakers.... -

Re: Pass Labs XP-32
Thank you everyone for the kind words. I find it is easy to write when I know what to say. This was a pleasure, and I hope that others get a change to hear this excellent preamp.
Results 1 to 25 of 462
I upgraded the power supply on my Gigafoil v4 to a Weiss PSU 102. It’s very nice step up. But with the new model, you’re looking at $2000 before even investing in a SOTA linear power supply.
