I got the Magnepan 3.5R at good price and I can say this is my best purchase over the years even compared to B&O Redline.
I think those who have listen to them need no more explanation on how good they sing. With bi-amping, the performance got to another level. As my amp for bass is a integrated, it allow me to adjust the bass volume and this compensate for it's slightly mellow bass.
I tried to Active bi-amp it and it should be the way to go. With the DSP equalization, I can adjust for the dip and bumps in the response curve to make it perfectly flat response.
Everyone come to my home feel like the singer sing in front of them. Bass in Bob Marley's song was slamming the door!
Simply magic for about 4K total I spend in the system.
This 300-disc changer features an 8x-oversampling digital-filter circuit that combines excellent phase linearity with superb suppression of aliasing noise to yield better stereo imaging. The four Hybrid Pulse digital-to-analog converters (DACs) are designed to place the DAC and digital filter on a single integrated circuit. A digital servo-control system maintains stable tracking, laser focus, and disc rotation--all with high precision and low radiated noise. I use it with MFA324DAC
Musical Fidelity A324
Great DAC - 24Bit 192Khz or 96Khz.
Magnepan MG-3.5r
Extremely good and much better value if you can find good one at 2nd hand
Jolida 1051RC
100W Hybrid AMP using 12AX7 as Preamp Tube. Extremely Powerful and musical at an unbeliveable price.
Opera M100
1.Class AB,push-pull design delivering 40 watt output power. 2.A pair of EL34 output tubes running in ULTRA-LINEAR mode per channel. 3.6922 and 6SN7 dual triodes for input stage and drive stage(one 6SN7 drive pair of EL34). 4.Little negative feedback with precision RC circuitry for more linear output. 5.Four bias regulators ensure all output tubes work optimally.
Excellent and nicely done. I have done similar and can imagine what yours sounds like. Would "beautiful" describe it? I'm guessing you don't play it too loud. All in all, nice use of 4K.
