| MM or MI Cartridge? Dinov is right. Since the output is somewhere in between an MC and a MM, you will have to experiment with your phono preamp setting. Mine only had 2 settings, MM and MC. One sounded fat, the other was weak. | |
| Magnepan owners. Fuses or what Thanks, guys, for the advice. I am likely to try these. Makes perfect sense. Non interfered with flow of current. | |
| Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better? I suggest Y'all listen to the Beatles song "We can work it out", just once. | |
| The Snob Appeal Premium @yesiamapirate, if everything sounds similar, it is probably you listening room. If not, just stick with some cheap speakers, you'll be just as happy. | |
| Digital front end upgrade options I would take the big step up. I always felt if you take the smaller step up, you will second-guess yourself at some point and then take another step up. | |
| Ayre v Hegel sound I will agree with the other Hegel owners. I really like the amp, but the DAC is not as good. So I am using one that sounds more natural. | |

| Best Receiver? I bought a Kenwood 45 watt receiver in 1976,played it regularly till 1995 and gave it to my son and he still uses it and it always sounds great. They don't make 'em like that anymore. Wood sides, discreet power supplies and all that. | |
| Am I defective? Watch the video of the first U.S. Beatles concert [Shea Stadium I think] and you will see a lot of teenage girls crying and screaming. Pure emotion. | |
| Burn in vs perception Most of my speakers and electronics sounded good right out of the box, And any break-in was hardly noticeable. That being said, some brands of wires can take an eternity to sound right. I bought a mid tier Analysis Plus interconnect that I almost... | |
| Acoustic Sounds site is down..... The 100 watt amp they are selling is now 50 watts. | |
| So you just took a gummie...What song is on the menu? I had no idea there were so many fun lovers out there in audio heaven. I would add Country Joe McDonald's "Paradise with an Ocean View' to the list. | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. There are probably thousands of Maggie owners that are completely satisfied with them [I an one of them] and the fact that they can hardly fill the demand for them should tell you something. Just because they might not be someone else's cup of te... |
