@crazyeddy Be careful. Sounds weird. Do not send any more money under any circumstance.  
Fee for home audition
It requires a big investment to be a good high end dealer but some of them don't want to have demo product. I would love to carry a box to your car and cash a $5000 check too. If that's your dealer you can do better especially if you are willing t... 
Tube amps - what 3 things…
@hilde45 My experience as well. My PrimaLuna has been EXACTLY like owning a solid state amp with maintenance so far. None. I have had it 3 years with average amount of use. I haven't changed a tube yet. It sounds GREAT.  I would not want to mess w... 
Low level listening
@jeffseight The Maggies are far from efficient. Great speakers but require lots of power.  
Maggie owners -- Mye or Magna Riser stands
Thanks @krelldreams. I think if I make the move it will be to the 3.7i. I'm getting to recognize my need to upgrade BEFORE it happens.  
Maggie owners -- Mye or Magna Riser stands
@krelldreams I'm reading between the lines and taking liberties but it sounds like the 1.7i worked well for you and given a do over you might have stayed with them? I'm thinking about getting some 1.7i but the lure of the 3.7i is always lurking.    
Is there a cartridge setup specialist in Southeastern Michigan?
@karl_desch I finally got around to changing cartridges. It really wasn't as difficult as i anticipated. Hana ML sounds pretty darn good. I'm not sure if Michael Fremer would say it's perfect but I don't hear anything off. Thanks for the support.  
What happened to Rotel?
An electronic product is having an issue 4 years in? I wouldn't say that makes Rotel a bad company. Typical, not bad.  I am surprised that so many believe that this makes them a bad company. Most companies give a 2 or 3 year warranty.   
PS Audio S300 amplifier- tube preamplifier recommendation
@lmartinez_02170  I am to the point where if the remote isn't great I move on to other products. There are way too many products with perfect remote function. I really should be able to get the volume perfect, not just close. Good luck in your sea... 
Using the Magnepan 1.7i with two REL S/812 Subs
I am running Legacy Aeris next to Magnepan LRS Plus in a bit of a shootout. The LRS with a SVS SB16 sub. The Maggies actually aren't getting crushed in this comparison. I am using a Michi X5 integrated with the LRS. Legacy Wavelet and Legacy IV 2 ... 
Best Speaker for a reflective room ?
I doubt the room will ever sound like you hope it will. I have found out that equipment cannot erase room problems no matter how much money is spent. Who knows? Maybe it will sound good.  
Has anyone noticed a slow down in sales?
It’s the only tangible product I know wg here guys keep their price the same no matter how long it sits there. Blue book? Throw it out. The prices were highly oinflated for a couple years. Price your item for what it is worth today Nd it will pro... 
Is there a cartridge setup specialist in Southeastern Michigan?
Thanks Karl. That's very kind of you. I'm in Hartland. I haven't got the cartridge yet. Our other members have helped me believe I could do it myself but I don't have the equipment you have. I appreciate you responding and might take you up on it.  
Innovative Autio in NYC just hung up on me
There is this false narrative about dealers being helpful and nice. I have not necessarily seen that. They don’t let you really listen at your leisure. They control the music selection. Easier to just buy online.   
Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice?
