Beyond the Audio Research SP-11 with Tympani IVas
I have received a private email recommending the Magtech amplifier and preamplifier, if anyone can comment on Sanders Sound products with Magneplanars? 
The CD player is dead.......
Devilboy,I have had a Levinson No. 31 and Sony SCD1 amoung other players, so I feel qualified to comment and think my hard drive sounds just as good.Now to be fair, it's more fun (albeit less convenient) and a more luxurious experience to load dis... 
Tweaking the Magnepan 1.7s
As we are already in an audio forum, I would appreciate further information on the razor treatment.The answer above is a bit like saying:For suggestions to tweak the 1.7s, search around on Google.Thank you,

ToymanmarkI am not being unfair.If you or anyone else has purchased and find value in the Blackbody, then great! I think that is wonderful and wish you listening pleasure and happiness with as many as you can afford to purchase.Everyone in this fo...

AaapersI am not disappointed, and if you are a sincere enthusiast, you have my apology.But to be clear, I have not yet knocked, or indeed even commented on the Blackbody device, as I have no experience with it.For the record, my impression is that...

"I post very infrequently."Why would anyone with honest intent and unbaised participation in these forums need to defend the number and authenticity of their posts?In my opinion, because they are yet another shill.It's rings a little bit of "I'll ... 
Best Value in Used Bryston Amps and Monoblocks
"If they can choose pretty much any electronics manufacturer and choose Bryston on a regular basis, that says something."This has always been my thinking, which makes Racquel's opinion the contrarian view here. 
Best Value in Used Bryston Amps and Monoblocks
Thanks everyone so far.I have been very happy with my 23.5 and that was also recommended by a Magneplanar expert as "the best amp he ever heard with Tympanis".I have never had a problem with it, but servicing it has become more difficult apparentl... 
What does Uhqr mean concerning records?
For only a few $1800 sales, I bet I could buy my own sealing machine.So I have always wondered how do you know if its really new and/or how many times a used or even empty UHQRs passed through several hands as "new"?Not to make anyone paranoid - t... 
What does Uhqr mean concerning records?
Can anyone give a realistic price range for these UHQR's from decent shape and used to unopened, still sealed and new in box?And by that, I dont mean buy it now for $1 MM, but prices where they would actually trade.I am from the school of thought ... 
How Big is Too Big?
Re Ask HERI just asked my wife, and she thinks I sit too close to the screen.I have just asked her to sit at the most comfortable distance from our 40" HDTV. Using a tape measure, this is +/- 9 FEET!I nonetheless look forward to an array of 46" sc... 
How Big is Too Big?
BryoncunninghamThanks for the THX calculator....Not understanding all the viewing angle calculations, it seems:For a 55" screen, THX recommends 6.1 feetFor a 46" screen, 5.1 feetFor a 40" screen, 4.5 feet andFor a 32" screen, 3.6 feetThese distanc... 
How Big is Too Big?
LearsfoolYou make a good point.A question I have always wanted to put to the forum is why do so many discuss the simple, screen dimension when it seems we should all be discussing screen size plus viewing distance which when combined might give a ... 
How Big is Too Big?
srvootenA good question as I have been trying to figure that out myself since seeing one in the store.I believe it was a UN46C6500VF or a UN46C6900, but looking at the specs, I cant figure out why the 6900 costs more and apparently weighs almost 1... 
How Big is Too Big?
MezmoThat sounds like a lot of fun and glad to hear it is working for you.For my next system, I have actuallly been thinking of an array of 3 x 46" LCDs, mainly because only a 46 Samsung which had an unusually clean and thin bezel and case to my l...
