A strange thing happened on the way to...
I have heard the Maggies and was quite impressed with them. I thought they offered excellent, pinpoint imaging - certainly in the system that I heard. The only speakers superior to the Maggies that I have heard have been the SoundLabs (A1) and the... 
did my wife harm my speakers?
Yes. Absolutely. Now you HAVE TO upgrade. You did'nt want to but now you do not have a choice. Now you must settle for some Atmasphere OTL amps, Sound Labs, La Verdier Platine Turntable, etc. It is all her fault too. See what she made you do ? ;-). 
Headphone amps HD what are the choices?
I have the Sennheiser HD-600, I use them with the MG Head DT OTL amp. Instead of the stock tubes, I suggest 5751 in lieu of the standard 12AX7for the preamp end. Replacing the power tubes did not make a significant difference in my system. Remembe... 
Satellite or CATV?

Which VPI LP Cleaning Machine?
I recommend a VPI 16.5 machine and also Galen Carol Audio (gcaudio.com) as a dealer. Both have performed flawlessly for me. The cleaning tube on the machine is grossly overpriced. It used to sell for over $ 20 when it probably cost maybe 50 cents ... 
Krell KSA-200 Should I Or Shouldn’t I?
I owned a KSA-200 in the early 90's. It was without a doubt one of the best amps I have ever owned. The sound with my meticulously positioned pair of Apogee Duettas made grown men cry. My amp began to trip shut and I called Krell for repairs. They...
