| power cable Try the vh audio cables. Sound construction, and clears up the sound. | |
| tube amp not turning on If the fuse...why...bad tube likely. Jallen | |
| Magnepan 3.6 VS Leagcy Focus The 3.6 need power and space. If you have both, they are grand. | |
| Speaker cable advice Vh audio builds very fine cables for reasonable prices. Jallen | |
| What amps use the KT120 tubes? ARC now uses them. Jallen | |
| can this fact be accurate? Sounds a bit optimistic. The closing of many high end stores around the country paints a different picture. | |
| Svetlana KT-88 Pass on them. Get the 6550 WC if you want that type of tube or Gold Lions are popular. I prefer the sound of the 6550 or the new KT 120's. Jallen | |
| Best Speaker under $3K - New or Used Maggie 3.6 if you have a little space and power. Very good speaker under 10k. Jallen | |

| best amp for Magnepan 3,7 Unless the room is small and or hardwood floors, less than 250wpc is asking for the amp to run out steam. I measured the draw from a 90wpc amp, tubes in fact, with the 3.6, and making less than 91db at the listening position, I was out of power. T... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Digital is only a way to store the information, not less accurate. If the sampling rate is high enough and the bit word length is long enough, say 24/192, or more, or SACD, done well, analog is just too inconsistent, and a bad storage medium. Mast... |
