| Magnepan Service HORRIBLE??? Etmerritt was a customer of mine some years ago whom I visited, and I'll vouch for him being a gentleman and a good person to do business with. I assume the speakers were purchased used, otherwise it's the dealer's problem to handle. I would be ca... | |

| NORMA Amps Haven't heard them but wonder about cable recommendations. Spectral demands their components be used with MIT, or else the warranty is void, I strongly suspect due to bandwidth limiting so the components do not go into oscillation.On the other han... | |

| Abbingdon music research AMR cd-77 is how good? Washline, you might want to contact the AMR distributor, Avatar Acoustics, to find out who is and isn't an AMR dealer. | |
| Rabco SL-8E Tone Arm Nandric, if Herb Papier had something to do with Rabco, I stand corrected. In any event David Shreve would probably know. Meanwhile, he has replied to Kisawyer and myself, so there's a very good chance Kisawyer will have his arm back up and runnin... | |
