I remember reading in one of Dostoyevsky's novels that there is a Russian saying to the effect: "You can't have a real fool unless it graduates from the University" (I'm paraphrasing here from memory). We apparently have plethora on University grads embellishing this forum who don't seem capable of finding their way out of a paper bag. These are the people with Masters degrees who spend the rest of their lives peeing on their shoes. Maggies are terrible. My Maggies are humongous, and are probably the least efficient speakers ever built (at 82 db!) But their maggic (spelling error intentional) in sound is unsurpassed, so I'm resigned to living with this humongous compromise. A friend of mine is using a T-amp driven off a battery, and it sounds simply amazing, like some of the best tube amps I've heard (of course, he is careful to use 98 db sensitivity speakers). These amps are giant killers indeed (they retail for what -- $60 a piece?) I tell ya, mains cable upgrades may be one of the most dramatic improvements I've experienced since the olden days when I've first tried your TT2.0. -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93084 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
