Anyone using a NAD M3 with Maggies?

Thanks Fleib on the Jico input. Will skip that one. I was able to get a replacement D81 as it seems all the audiophiles were arguing alignment.

Is a hearing aid the best possible tweak for 50+
Who cares if you can't hear conversations, you can hear music. Best of both worlds. I think I would pay $3000 not to hear most conversations. lolOnly eat at places with good music!

Bolero32, another thing I think is important to this discussion. When I had the Belcanto amps I used copper IC's and speaker wire to tone down the amps, but when I changed to the Butler it was way to warm for me. I changed to silver and copper/sil...

Hello Stltrains, An honest mistake. You kind of get to know each others personalities after all these post so you already had a pass, at least from me. I was just attempting to clarify in case Timeltel was not around but he cleared it up himself.T...

New cartridge for MMF 5
A good easy to find, low risk, choice would be a NOS Acutex 312 or 412 on Italian Ebay.Only about $60 but much better than that pricepoint .They are not as "refined" as the few you mentioned, but IMHO are very close. I personally like the 312 bett...
