| Magnepan 3.7 - 3.7i owners need help please Well, unfortunately 'things happen'. At least you found the cause of the problem. I am sure that the dealer and Magnepan will do right by you.I know it sounds easy to make such remarks, but know I feel for you, and know that when you get the speak... | |
| suggestions for Windows 10 software please, , laptop to USB DAC, AIFF files, remote app I use JRiver, but I hear good things about Jplay.-Though it seems to be somewhat controversial.Since you can trial them, why not give them a try?I would also recommend Fidelizer. It made a big difference for my system.B | |
| XLR/RCA dilemma Spinal surgery---Ouch!I hope you feel better, soon.Bob | |
| Don't buy from HigherFI.com I think Ebay has protections for you. I tried to negotiate with a seller who said everything was 'as is', but they (Ebay) said they have a money back guarantee policy regardless of what the seller says.I would contact Ebay directly with all the em... | |
| Trade in value to a dealer @abnerjack, If the equipment is in decent shape, it would behoove you to sell directly.Just be honest about condition and price accordingly.B | |
| Help choosing integrated +1 for Ayre.I wish I could find more info on your speakers, but Focal seems to not have any listing for them. I found a manual online, though. It looks like they have a 3 ohm minimum which is a bit taxing for an amp.I would suggest also looking at... | |

I find it amazing that such a small enclosure can still reproduce such low frequencies.Will you be adding subwoofers? Looki... | |
| Question about weak link Oh poop.Then, I guess you are limited to waiting for the cables to break in.How long have you been running them?B | |
| An upgrade a long time overdue If you like this combo, I would suggest that you PM Johnny Rutan(audioconnection). He sell both Vandy and Ayre (and others) and will not only give you great (free) advice, but may even have some demo or used equipment.B | |
| An upgrade a long time overdue @sfall, not a bad combo.Jammer, I am the resident Vandy fanboy, so my opinion is a bit biased towards them. In any case, I would look for a time correct speaker like the Vandy's. You'll get the most coherent soundstage, as well as lack of fatigue,... | |
| Question about weak link JMC and Mac offer very good advice. +2Putting back the old amp first would be my first move after the cables burn in.B | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design How low in frequency do your DIY speakers go?B | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? @ctsooner , did you get the amp back, yet?Bob | |
| An upgrade a long time overdue OP, Your Bryston is a good amp. You don't mention what preamp you own now, but I would get an Ayre regardless. I would get one of the Ayre Codex, too, for a DAC.After saying all this, I would probably be more inclined to upgrade my speakers first-... | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design @almarg , et al.Considering how much you are doing to the original signal (when processing through the DEQX), do you think you are altering it to something 'unnatural'?Bob |
