Congradulations Tilghman, you have good ears on a good system! What you are hearing is called Rosen noise. It is not a digital artifact, it is not anyone's breathing, it is not Brownian motion of air molecules, and most of all it is not all in you... 
What speaker would you replace magnepan 2.7's with
I suggest MG 3.6. They have mountains of headroom if driven squarely. Are you sure your headroom limitation is in the speakers? I drive old MG 3A with TEAC X-01, ARC Ref 3, and Rowland 7Ms delivering 720 Watts over 4 Ohms that are equally as old a... 
A review Bound for Sound for Pass Labs fans
Hrrrumpf, we truly need someone to run the experiment. . . in the meantime. . . I'll be checking real estate listings in Juno Alaska! The idea of being kept nice and toasty by a pair of X600.5s, listening to Herbert Von Karajan conducting Sibelius...

Yes thank you, I've got it now. This is interesting because in the past, the original X.1000 was not deemed to be the best of the old series by any stretch. But the X1000.5 is the very latest of the lot, so it will likely incorporate the learning ...

Thank you Alex, I will drink to that gladly!My recent barbules aside, for which I apologize, I am truly happy that Brent is part of the APL tribe. A creator of your caliber does need and deserve a business manager of the same stature for the compa...

Thank you TVAD, you are correct, the discussion started on 06-30, not on 06-14. My mistake.

TVAD, the controversy seems to have started by a generic remark I posted on 06/14, which was not at all mentioning APL, nor it was especially written with APL in mind. While other modifiers took the high road, APL took exception to my statement. T...

John, reality is always more complex than we'd like it to be. There is no contraddiction in what I wrote. Brent has wisely introduced standard business management techniques at APL. He has raised customer satisfaction by introducing clear scheduli...

Oh Teajay my friend, why is it that when something looks too good to be true. . . 'tis always just because is truly too good to be true? Is there really no reprieve from the thermal purgatory I am In. . . at a reasonable price? Oh yes, The Citadel...
