Used Preamp on a budget advice please.
You could also get a used McCormack Preamp. 
Others experience re: subs and Magmepan 20
+1 for Akg. I think the Vandersteen subs coupled with the crossovers will be the best possible combination for your Maggies.But, since you were asking not for recommendations, but opinions regarding subs, I would have to say that whether ' they f... 
My new secondary system $437 TOTAL!
They sure could build 'em then.And, I always wanted a linear tracking turntable....Bob 
Looking to hear new systems in New Jersey
@2channel, I thought it was funny.@bigkidz , I wish you would spend some time with John Rutan at Audioconnection. He isn't like a dealer, but a kindred spirit.B

I own the Gungnir (not multibit) and have to say it it quite good despite not being multibit. So, I can only assume the Yggy will be even better.Unfortunately, I heard an Ayre Codex, and the Gungy has been replaced.I hate to add another manufactur... 
On mid-fi do you hear much difference between Tidal and Spotify
Pandora needs to up the streaming rate, that's for sure.Spotify premium isn't bad. Compared to Tidal, it is a close second. There has been some noise about Spotify moving to higher streaming rates recently. If so, it will probably knock Tidal back... 
Anthem Statement P5 amp and Golden Ear Triton One speakers
@OP, Sorry for not replying sooner. In any case, I am a Vandy man.I heard them in the '80's and never forgot how great they sounded (and at a great price point), even after 30 years.Do I like other manufacturers? Yes, Maggies, Ohm, Shahanian, and ... 
Magnepan 3.7 - 3.7i owners need help please
+1 on breaking in. Your description of 'compression' definitely sounds like things need to break in.I would let them play background music and not listen to them critically for a week, at least.Do you still have the 3.6's?Bob 
The value of of the sealed record.
Perhaps if it was a limited run, I may consider it an investment, but for the most part I think it a sad way to own music- In that recorded music was made to be listened to.B 
Add a Subwoofer to my Vandersteen 1ce s or replace with Revel Concerta2 F36
Well, I hate to be a stick in the mud, but if you are considering the Vandy 2's, I suggest also looking at the Treo's. I bought ctsooner's pair after owning the 3a sigs. It was a good move. I like the more stylish design as well as the improved pe... 
Subpanel/Isolation Transformer/Dedicated Lines
It sounds like you have things pretty well in hand. Though fellow Agoner's will have opinions/recommendations, perhaps you should consult a local high end dealer or installer. So much of this has to pass local codes, so someone knowledgeable about... 
Spotify expected to launch umcomoressed streaming
I would agree with you, latlik, but Spotify has a much larger catalog. I must mention, I am not very interested in the newest tracks.B 
Spotify expected to launch umcomoressed streaming
If they do, I will drop Tidal.B 
Spotify expected to launch umcomoressed streaming
I read that they were offering subscriptions to some select members for lossless, so it must be in the works. Of course, I didn't get an invite.B
