| Anyone compare Zesto with Backert preamps? Good to know you had a very positive experience with the Zesto. It is high on my list. Sounds like you have not auditioned the toolshed pre before ordering it. | |
| Anyone compare Zesto with Backert preamps? @oddiofyl I remember checking into toolshedamps about a year ago and discovered they are a local company! | |
| Integrated Amp Shopping Decisions Generally speaking, I don't think it's a bad thing to have "too much power" unless you overdrive your speakers or the sound quality is compromised. It seems unlikely that you would do that in a smallish room. In addition, the extra power could be ... | |
| Paul McGowan gets asked about rotary subs. I have read many posts in which @bdp24 praises the ET LFT8b's and having owned (and still own but rarely use) Magnepans, I finally decided to look up an ET dealer close to where I live. I called to ask if I could visit and listen to a pair but wa... | |
| Finally...Pictures! Left a comment. Nice looking room! | |
| More Bass You probably already did this but make sure the speakers are not wired out of phase. After that it's likely your room / speaker positioning. | |
| Is Magnepan still in business ? Don't forget they had a really bad snow storm this week. There could have been a power outage or the business could have been unexpectedly closed for a day or two. Try contacting them again during their business hours (central time). | |
| Fatal error LOL. Everything is copacetic on my end but thanks for your concern! | |

| My analog journey - time for a new phono stage or? OP- While the Ayre K-5xe is a great preamp (I used to own the K-5xeMP), the K-1xe is much better- more 3 dimensional images that are more clearly defined, and better frequency extension among other attributes. I have not heard the most recent 5 s... | |
| Preamp Recommendations For the Parasound JC 5 Amp I would have contacted Pass Labs about the "wobbly" XLR connection on the 250.8. I bet they would have serviced it for peanuts. | |
| I want more bass… The first place I would start is repositioning your speakers. Even before you do that you can try reversing the phase at the speakers by switching +/- cable connections. If the bass is "better" then it's not the speakers themselves but rather thei... | |
| Jeff Beck - passes away Unbelievable. Incredible talent. I really did not expect this news. I heard he died from meningitis. RIP Jeff Beck. | |
| Isolation transformers output voltage higher than wall @carlsbad I always listen to music with which I am very familiar and if I sense the sound quality is compromised in any way then I won't use them. |
