Orchard Audio PecanPi Streamer sets a new paradigm in affordable Streamer | Dac | Headphone Amp combos. The sound quality is simply extraordinary and competes favourably with DAC's at 3 and 4 times the price. As a headphone amp and Roon Endpoint streamer as well - its a perfect combination for $US550.

I thought that were made in Minnesota
having a strong amp to drive your maggies is really important. I went from 2x 200W 4ohm primare to 2x 900W 4ohm amp and while i dont expect i really use the power. The control the new Sanders amp is able to bring to my 3.7i makes a ton of difference is the audio experience.
White Bear Lake, Minnesota not Michigan
I'll be there in December, where are you located?
I was going to purchase from China Hi-Fi but shipping was nearly $400. Amazon is free and returns are hassle free. I ordered today and mine will be delivered tomorrow!
I have the LRS plus and tried a class D amplifier with it. Didn’t work. Then I tried my Anthem amplifier with it. Beautiful ❤
It’s way T.o neutral if your front end is not warm or got a bad recording. Forget it the orchard will Rip your head off .

Gorgeous
QUAD ARTERA MONO! FOR MY 1.7 .PERFECT!!
BTW Magnepan is not Electrostatic. It's a Dipole and therefore requires a 180 Degree Reflection Surface to appreciate the Sound Cloud and could be complicated to configure. A study of Harmonics is needed. Sound Quality can be personal!
only 1 year warranty, has anyone needed warranty work on one of these amps?
I’m using a 100 WPC Integrated Amp from Rogue, the Sphinx v3 with a tube pren amp and they sound fantastic with the .7. I’m still working on placement options but the SQ is out of this world.
Whilst my Very Old Japanese electrostatics Headphones are exceptional. I wish to hear these Speakers.
If U can't play with the Big Dogs stay on the porch 😊
I love tube amplifiers 💥🔥💡💥🔥💡🔥💥💡🔥💥💡🔥💥
Will it work well with Magnepan LRS since they demand power?
No, you need double the output.
They sound amazing with music thats not too dynamic and complex.
Hmm. Interesting statement 😮
Just found your channel doing research on this tube amp. Do you think it would have any issue driving my Vandersteen 3A signatures?
Hi - with 87% efficiency into 6 ohms - yes, it would not easily drive them.
now me waiting for them LRS+ to arrive. 👍😀
Roger is a true gentleman, his cigar shop is excellent, if your in vegas you’d be crazy not to visit🫡😶🌫️😎
Much respect to roger, he is living my dream. I stop in every time I'm in vegas.
fantastic shop, but i go to the Paiute tribal shop on main street, good selection (AND NO TAXES EVER).
He hacked all over them cigars!
Show me the Cohiba's and price .
Best cigar shop I've ever been to 👍🏻
Amazing! Just slightly better than our local tobacconists.

I have a Yamaha as3200 feeding the magnepan 1.7i and is not enough , I need more power/current 😢
Hi Reiitelco Have just purchased 2 x Fosi ZA3's as monoblocks for $US149 each and they drive my 1.7i's just fine.
I'm running my 1'6's with a Bryston 4bsst2, works great.
what sound difference to martin logan
Thanks kaybhee6 - Martin Logan have a similar transparent sound but require very high voltage to operate whereas Magnepan do not.

Bonjour
You promised to tell us why Magneplanars sound so good, but not a picture or even a word about speaker placement or room acoustics - and I can't wait to see those 3 meter wide panels.
Yeah, I had to rewind it to see if he really said the panels are 10 feet wide lol. I agree, placement and some basic acoustic info would have been important.
Interested
Barbara got to live her dream how cool
Agree. 😀
We recently released the PecanPi+ DAC and Streamer. The DAC features the latest AKM 4499EXEQ R-2R chip.
Wonderfil...!!! thank you...!!!
I recently acquired a pair of 3.7's and am at the stage where you are constantly moving the speakers around to find the best response. Question: What is the difference between Tweeters on the inside v tweeters facing the outside? I am also running a pair of REL S/515's so that also affects the setup.
Thanks Keith for your comments. Tweeters on the inside will give you a focussed stage with pinpoint accurate placement of voices and instruments. Tweeters on the outside give you a wider sound stage but not as accurate. Hope this helps.
But can they do complicated tracks well?
Yes - especially complex tracks with lots going on - you'll hear them more clearly than cone speakers.
yes, the only thing they lack is deep bass 'punch' and some "snap" but they're amazingly responsive on the mids and highs.
I don't believe the pre-in bypasses the internal pre-amp.
Just the volume pot, signal still goes through the pre amp tubes. I have a nice solid state pre amp with a DAC and phono stage that sounds fantastic paired with the R8. Have a set of NOS tubes on the way!
I don't believe one word of your quack.
Offer a bit more as to why. adding a useless comment does nothing to further discussion
Breaking News: Residents of White Bear Lake, Minnesota staged an insurrection, but very politely with no name calling, because they are from Minnesota. Upon seizing the City Hall they immediately declared that White Bear Lake was seceding from Minnesota and annexing itself to some other state. The leading candidates were Florida, Texas, and Puerto Rico (not a state, but run by the US as an afterthought ). Spokesperson Gunnar Einar Ericsson explained “Some of us, you know, we’re working for Magnaplanar all these years. It’s a good company, no complaints. And we keep a sharp eye on what people are saying about our Maggies. In the high-falutin newsletters and social media as the kids call it. Well, we saw this one feller from Austria on UA-cam and he made a little tiny error, just just just a slip of the tongue and accidentally said White Bear Lake is in Michigan. It was no big deal if you know what I mean. But cheese and crackers you should have heard the commenters pointing out this little error. One after another, just as if they hadn’t actually read the existing comments before jumping down this poor guy’s parka. So anyways, we were all discussing this at lunchtime on Tuesday. I remember it was Tuesday because the cafeteria calls it “Taco Tuesday”. I think Karl Ericsson (not my cousin Carl Ericsson, sounds the same but my cousin spells his name with a C not a K. I mean the first name. The last name Ericsson always uses a C. Actually two C’s.) So Karl Ericsson is the food service manager at the Magnaplanar plant. He runs the cafeteria and keeps all the coffee vending machines and candy machines working. So Karl the food service manager Karl read about Taco Tuesday in a food service industry magazine. I think it was “The Absolute Sandwich”. He says they have the most unbiased articles because they don’t accept any advertising, not even from the big pre-sliced meat companies nor even industrial dishwasher soap outfits. So they talked about Taco Tuesday and Karl instituted it and that’s how I remember it was a Tuesday when we were talking about what if White Bear Lake WAS in Michigan? Then we got to thinking, I think it was Magnus Karlsson said, “Michigan is cold and snowy and dark like Minnesota anyway. Why should we be in Michigan? Let’s pick a place where it’s sunny, and usually stays above freezing, most of the time anyways, and we wouldn’t have to run block heaters to keep the vehicle motors from seizing up, you know?” So we talked it over, and decided if it wasn’t too inconvenient, to switch White Bear Lake to someplace like Florida. One drawback, we must be honest: we’d be giving up ice fishing. Anyway, we owe a debt of gratitude to this Austrian feller for getting the ball rolling if you know what I mean. Austria is next to Germany and they have really good sausages and good beers there. I’m sure he’s a nice feller and maybe he skis up in the Austrian alps and yodels and so on. We also passed a resolution to kindly suggest that commenters give this Austrian feller a break why don’t ya. Okey dokey, maybe we’ll see you next time under a palm tree. But we’re not moving White Bear Lake to any place that doesn’t have Taco Tuesday. That’s non-negotiable.“
Do you have Mongolian on Mondays? Just asking for a 6metre tall Australian friend of mine 😊
Early Magnepan speakers such as the MG II sounded much too veiled. The more recent offerings using quasi ribbon tweeters are much better. But I was shocked when I heard early MGIIs at just how veiled they sounded in the midrange. Female singers sounded like they had cotton balls stuffed in their mouth. It was The Audio Critic who didn't accept advertising that were honest enough to measure them and found copious amounts of stored energy. TAC put it perfectly when he said their sonic signature was "snap blur"... clean transients followed by a wash of vagueness". But as I said they have vastly improved over the years but please don't extol the virtues of old Maggies. They sound terribly flawed and their poor measurements reflect this.
Specs? Distortion, S/N, Output impedance? Output power? Pretty much need these to make sense of how good or not it is. Loads of these Chinese amps test really badly for S/N…they struggle to better 80dB and usually have high output impedance. Saying its low noise doesn’t tell us anything without S/N tested data. Loads of valve amps are still made in the UK, Poland, the USA , Italy and Japan. No need to line the pockets of the Chinese regime😉. Thanks for the effort, but this really wasn’t a review, it was an incomplete description. I see a lot of hype over this model lately and must admit I get suspicious when this happens…no real details such as the specs, bandwidth, valve types, circuit description, just hype. Sorry, don’t mean to be rude as you’ve gone to the effort of uploading but over hyped Chinese stuff tells us nothing and raises marketing suspicions. Someone is pushing these hard😉
There are several channels that deal in tube amps, they have measured and upgraded the R8 and it's lived up to the hype. Check out valvesnmore and Skunkie for indepth look.
Hello from France: do you think it's better to start with LRS with a Denon PMA 600 NE or a Nad C316bee? thank you !
Thanks for your question. Recommend the newer LRS+ with the Denon PMA-900HNE.
Thank you.
This is the person they should make a film about. Bookended around the Challenger and Columbia tragedies, since Morgan's career spanned over the period in which those events took place.
Gustav Holst's Jupiter was a great choice for Morgan's quest. 👍
Nice video!
I have one and love it. Also bought the Chinese Sound Artist LS/35a , also a keeper. The amp is a brick ( heavy) . A keeper Mine drive a pair of Klipsch Heresy IV’s with Sunfire sub.
