    I think I got it.

    After moving the ribbons a few inches closer. They are now about 10' apart and my ears are about 11.5' from the ribbons. After installing the accoustic treatment in its new locations I believe I am now experiencing what the JC1, Mac MCD/MDA 1000 and Magnepan 20.1 combination is truly capable of.

    Imaging is ghostly. Bass will pound right through you and yet is "Maggie accurate". The sweet spot has broadened by an inch or so as well. The tonal musicality is harshless and pleasing beyond belief. It is a most incredible musical experience.

    While it may not be the most asthetically appealing arrangement, I'm fortunate to have a dedicated listening room with free reign from the wife. As for me, I think it looks beautiful.

    I still have some forward tilt on the Mags but to my ears, I can't detect any adverse effects.

    Anyone who is ever in the hood is welcome to come by and have a listen. It's just incredible to me.

    McIntosh MCD-500 vs Denon DCD-2010AE?
    by Tweir
    So another interesting find. The McIntosh MCD-500 has a claim to be entirely new by mc with a shared transport. But it appears these two units share alot more than that.

    MCD-500 priced at 6000.00 or 6500.00 not sure and the DCD-2010AE is 2244.00 or 1699.00 euro.

    why ribbons may sound subjectively better than domes.
    by thadman
    I was wondering why everybody raves about ribbons...yet they measure so poorly. Specifically the Aurum Cantus G3si was measured to exhibit 1.6% 3rd harmonic distortion at 7khz at 90dB. In fact, their only redeeming qualities include incredible horizontal dispersion and high sensitivity (ie dynamics)....

    Random ideas part 3: amp for directly driving ribbons
    by capslock
    I've been harboring a couple of ideas that I haven't really had time to pursue. So I'll throw them at you and see who picks up on them:

    Thirdly:
    Transformerless ribbon. Looking at those Founteks, LCY's etc, I always wonder if the built-in transformers aren't ruining the performance....

    Are my RD50 ribbons damaged? Pics inside...
    by INFURNO
    Bought a pair of used RD50 ribbons on ebay and was guaranteed that the drivers were not abused and functionality undamaged.

    They just came in and with a close look these ribbons look like hell. There are at least 25 spots where the ribbon appears to be strained and deformed. Two particular...
