| Help with a buzz from Well Tempered TT Could be one or more of the leads to the cartridge. Check the soldering to be sure the wires are connected solidly to the clips. If one or more of the clips don't fit snugly onto the pin(s), gently squeeze the clips(s) with a needle-nosed pliers. ... | |
| Question for Ex-Maggie Owners Like everything in this world, it's a trade-off. And, depending on your situation, they could be great or not-so-great. I have a pair of MG-12's with a powered sub with an active cross-over as these are a little shy on bass. (This is less the case... | |

| Magnepan 12s An integrated amp is simply the amp and pre-amp sections on one chassis. Most of the time they share the same power supply. (A receiver is an amp, pre-amp and tuner in one chassis sharing the same power supply.) You will need AT LEAST 125 wpc of G... | |
| Am I underpowering my Magnepan 3.6's? I've tried several amps on a pair of Maggie 12's. Ended up with a Counterpoint SA-20 (220 wpc). Two SA-20's would be good with the 3.6's....RegardsJim | |
| bi amp question I'm with Fatparrot that there isn't any real difference which set of posts you hook up to. O'm sure that, if there is a prefered arrangement, the owner's manual will mention it. As to bi-amping using the speaker's existing HF and LF inputs (passiv... | |
| What's next after my 300B Rega Turntable Grandpoo- I used to have the 300 and upgraded to the WT Classic. The Classic is quite a bit better- quieter, extended bass, much more clarity. A couple of things to bear in mind if you decide to go used- be sure to get the black damped platter (vs... | |
| Well Tempered Labs owners do you use a platter mat If you come across a black damped platter, it would be a very significant upgrade to your table. The platter's slightly dished surface really gets the record locked into the platter and the damping is a big plus. I don't know if there are improvem... | |
| Your ONE all time favorite love song? Garfish- Roberta Flack's "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" is actually from the album "First Take", which a superb album. Edited versions of the song appeared later in a couple of "best of" releases, including the LP "The Best of Roberta Flack... | |
| Help in Speaker Selection Thanks for your responses. I took a look at the suggestions and it appears that either the price is way high of the $5000 retail mark (some as high as $15,000!!) or are small monitors that I fear would struggle in a mid-sized room. I am looking fo... | |
| Help in Speaker Selection Greg- Currently driving them with Counterpoint SA-220. I included a request for power requirements along with speaker suggestions as i realize that some have experience with certain amp/speaker combos. Looking for speaker recommendations similar t... | |
| Maggie 20.1 vs. Quad 989 Interesting thread. I am contemplating moving up from the Maggie 12's to (maybe)the 3.6's and, like Brian, am interested in other similar speakers which might not have as small of a listening "sweet spot". Yeah, I know Soundlabs might be the obvio... | |
| How do I bi-wire and bi-amp? Mike- Thanks, I am now beginning to understand the basics of the ML arrangement and it seems like it might be a good (and less expensive!) alternative to a "true" bi-amp with the advantage of eliminating a separate XO. A couple of questions, thoug... | |
| Power amp recommendations for 1000 and under If you want to take some of the "edge" off, try the Counterpoint SA-20 or SA-220. (The 220 is the later version with a couple of minor updates.) 220 WPC of hybrid bliss. There is one for sale now at $700. Go for it. Your next upgrade might be a pr... | |
| How do I bi-wire and bi-amp? Edesilva- THanks. I'm a little lost, but it's probably because I'm not familiar with the speaker. Sounds like it's a little closer to a bi-wire with with an amp for each wire pair?? I'll find a dealer and take a peek....Jim |
