Re: Magico M2 SP review and Measurements
The right speaker died immediately. The left speaker was weakened in that it died shortly after getting the right speaker back from repair.

Re: Magico M2 SP review and Measurements
I was trying to find out how loud they would play before they started to distort. As mentioned, they never distorted. They certainly were impressive.

Why not try it on each piece of gear, and keep it on the one that sounds best?

Re: Magico M2 SP review and Measurements
My Magico S5 came alive when I added a second dedicated line for the amps so that each amp could reach its 1200 watts without tripping a breaker. Of course, I then managed to break each speaker,...

Re: Does anyone use OFFLINE mode in either Tidal or Qobuz?
Are you guys saying that for Tidal and other streaming services that you can download an album? If so then how many albums can you download; 10, 100 or as many as you can put on your hard drive?

Wouldn’t any noise in the signal also be converted into the light stream, and then reconverted back into noise?

I suspect there is more to this than what we are reading here. If Shunyata won’t sell, or let anyone ship, to Australia then there must be a reason.

Re: What was your first high-end component ever?
Other than the AR-XB turntable, I don't remember the electronics from the 70s, but the speakers were Pioneer CS-A700. I remember saving my money from a $1.80/hour minimum wage job to buy them.

Re: How much quality is on a master tape?
R2R is okay for background music, but absolutely sucks when you want to listen to songs 3, 7, and 10 (or whatever combination). I sold my R2R in the late 70s, and have never thought of replacing it.

Re: Should I upgrade or not.
I look at power (dedicated 20 amp lines) and power cables as the foundation for any stereo or HT. Build a good foundation and then any gear will work at its best.
