I am happy with the system. I play only vinyl, hence no digital. The system reflects my preferences for resolution without being etched or too forward.
After adding the GR Research subs, I am so happy with the sound. I feel like the sound is what I want.
Very nice! You did a beautiful job on those GR subs. They look great with the maggies and I bet they mate really well. I'm also a fan of Danny's creations which you can see on my system page.
@joel_hifi Thank you! I appreciate the nice words. The Wilson Benesch Full Circle goes back many years! I have owned many different TT over the years including different models from VPI and Clearaudio. The WB does a very good job of balancing price and performance. I’ve always wanted to try their speakers in my systems, but alas Maggie’s are where I seem to have settled and I am more than okay with that.
Very nice. I really enjoy listening to the larger Maggies. They have an effortless sound. I like the rack, too; I have a Zoethecus as well. Keep that vinyl spinning!
Excellent speakers and careful amp matching + the bass panels must do their job. Not familiar with your TT (only know their speakers, used to own a pair WB Arc monitors) but I'm sure it's up there with the rest of your system :)
Above all this amazing Aikido design pre, congrats on the execution, it must sound absolutely great!
@laserjock1963 I built the Aikido based on its great reviews and never expected the finished product to sound so good. I can only take credit for the design of the cabinet. I local carpenter built the three sided maple frame and a local laser engraver did the laser engraving. I like how it turned out, too.
I would happily share a listen after this pandemic is over.
@archguy The half curtains are for our sanity! The dogs feel the need to bark at every dog passing by and in this ‘hood, it amounts to every few minutes!
Well the half curtains surely help with acoustics too but as a dog lover I feel they need to keep an eye on the street to know what's going on in the 'hood ;)
Thanks, @archguy! I believe that Magnepan makes the DWM with beige cloth, I just bought the black version from a local guy to give it a try and I like what it does for the system.
Now there's a system I'd love to hear. Those Maggies are on my shortlist. And your TT is out of this world. Magnepan need to make a DWM with a beige grille.
