Some answers:
| How long has Magnum been
established? In USA since April 1995, established early 1980s in England. Visit the "Our History" page for more.
|
| Will you ship anywhere in the world? Yes, but overseas sales may be subject to importation restrictions/duties and these are your responsibility. UK sales still receive our 14 day home trial, other countries must consider all sales final. Standard warranty applies, you will be responsible for shipping costs and any US Customs duty (currently 5%.) US shipments will not be made to areas with dealer representation. ALL sales are billed to credit cards in US currency, please check conversion rates before you order. No cheques.
|
| Do you recommend loudspeakers to
accompany your products? We have developed loudspeakers to complement our amps. These are available separately but are really intended for the customer who doesn't wish to spend the hours auditioning speakers from other manufacturers. 2 years IA170 IA200 and CD. 3 years MP160, MF160. 5 years MP330, MF330 and all Loudspeakers. |
Can your amps have remote control retro-fitted? Unfortunately not, the remote function is too integral to the circuitry. You must buy the remote or non-remote amp and stick with it! |
| Can your amps be used with different
voltages around the world? Yes, most of our amps have dual voltage transformer, but conversion must be done by an authorized technician and will void your warranty as intrusion into the sensitive circuitry is required. A technician can achieve the changeover in around 10-15 minutes. Magnum is available in either voltage standard. US customers may return their unit for conversion, if required, for $50, shipping included. Others may return for the same fee but you will be responsible for duties and shipping cost. |
| Can phono stage be retro-fitted? Sorry, once made, phono stage can't be added |
| Is phono moving coil or magnet? Yes and no! The IA170 has a selectable MM/MC phono stage whereas the IA200 has a factory set for Magnet. Coil can be fitted if so desired. All our pre-amps have input for 2 phono/cartridge types and selector for either MM or MC. |
| Are amps available line-stage only? Yes, and you gain the input once assigned for phono. |
| I've heard that Magnum offers a
trade-in policy Not just yet, but stay tuned for details of our plan to help you sell your old equipment. |
| I've heard your amps have a chrome finish.
Will it tarnish? The Magnum "Silvered" finish is in fact highly polished steel, not chrome. You may have to occasionally polish the faceplate if it collects the occasional fingerprint, but rest assured that it will not tarnish as chrome might. |
How can I see some pictures? Just go to our "prices and pictures" page (you can click the hyperlink to go direct) and click on the appropriate "hover button" |
Why don't you have tone controls like my present amp? Magnum's philosophy (as with most high-end audio designers) is that any component within the circuit will change the purity of the sound experienced by the listener. For this reason we keep our circuit design as "simple" as possible. |
Are the reviews posted on your site the only ones published? No, we have been "written up" by more magazines, but we don't have their permission to reprint. When we get this, we'll post their review. We also will be adding more reviews as we today require permission to reprint before we allow a review. |
How would you characterize the "Magnum Sound?" We strive for purity. This can be a moving experience and you may not be accustomed to the experience in a product at this price point. Caution though; some of your other components weaknesses may be revealed, as well as some of your source material such as CD or some vinyl. |
Can I get a brochure mailed to me? Sure, just click here, or go to the "Do Write" button on the "welcome" page and select the appropriate drop down option. Or just call and we'll snail mail one to you. As we'd rather save you money on your audio, our brochure is just basic pictures that you can see on this site, but we'll be pleased to mail some pics to US addresses if you want! |
Can your IA170 drive a subwoofer? Yes, providing it is a powered subwoofer. This is very important. If powered, the additional speaker terminals can be used for connection to the subwoofer. |
Do you get wafers wiv it? Sorry, we couldn't help it!!! This Monty Python reference just to show that we take our music seriously, not ourselves. |
FIN (for now) |
