I would like some suggestions to upgrade my power amp for a pair of Magnepan 1.5's. There are a couple of dealers in town, one with Rotel and McIntosh (more than I want to spend) and the other representing several small companies. I'm looking at the Jasmine "Piano" which is a tube amp. He also has Qinpu, Vincent, Arcam and Quad. I'm looking to spend $2K or under, but for those of you who know Maggies, they need lots of power. Suggestions?
Hey, I'm not really sure what section of the forum this should go in. I have a sister who wants to digitize her entire LP collection. She's considering buying an ION.
As I understand it, the ION and devices like it convert to MP3 format. She's not into Hi Fi, but even so, I fear she will be disappointed in the result since MP3 will not sound nearly as good as a full uncompressed WAV file. Not only that, but I am guessing that the tone arm and cartridge on the ION are not very high quality.
