| Suggestions for a Phono Preamp. Agree with the Sim Moon I had a used one a few year back before making a substantial upgrade and it was outstanding at it's price. | |
| Di I really need to clean my LP's? I would also make sure the inner sleeves are clean, paper sleeves tend to break down over the years leaving particles on the record. Once a record is clean it’s a good idea to replace the inner sleeve. If the inner paper sleeve is printed you may ... | |
| What's the heaviest speaker you've ever owned? What's the tallest? Magnepan 3.7i. 72" tallest and probably a 12" sub as the heaviest. | |
| For classical music lovers best amp for large orchestral forces? Maybe move up the Pass line to a 250.8 that should have plenty of power to handle the music. | |
| Alan White-Yes. R.I.P. Amen, he did make some great LPs with Yes, John, George,and others. | |
| Maggie LRS amping question My friend brought his LRS over to use with my Pass 250.8 it surprised me how good these speakers sounded as I have 3.7i for the $ I'd say unbeatable. We then added my 2 subs to the mix and it was truly astonishing to hear. You do need plenty of ... | |
| A first You put together a nice system wishing you many hours of enjoyment. It's great that you are letting others enjoy it too and that hear how good it is. | |
| Ideas for an amplifier? Seconds on Parasound great products high current amps that will drive power hungry speakers. | |
| Need some Cart recommendations, $300 - $700 (New/Used) range…warm, full, yet great def. Check out the Soundsmith web pages lots of great cartridge information. I snagged a used Carmen MK2 with low hours on usaudiomart and it sounds fantastic. | |
| Turntable noobie...what advice do you have? Hudson Hifi has a great cleaning, care kit for under $30 with everything you need. | |
| Ok ..I have Maggie 1.7is on Magnarisers but one keeps blowing the "tweeter" I would try a different be amp. You’ve lucky it’s just the fuse I had Emo 1L monos with my 1.7 and the amp kept blowing. I finally moved to a Parasound Hint which drove those babies with no problem. | |
| Magnepan 20.7i Amplifier Pairing I would think most of the larger Pass amps would do a wonderful job. I use a 250.8 with 3.7i and it hardly ever leaves class A. I know in the past Magnepan discouraged class D amps. You definitely want a high current amp | |
| Audio By Van Alstine DVA M225 mono amps The May/June issue of The Absolute Sound gave them a terrific review. One of my friends is using older Van Alstine amp and pre with his Philharmonic 3 speakers and the sound is awesome. AVA has been making well regarded audio equipment for years. | |
| Large room with low budget for speakers No box speakers but the Magnepan 30.7 should fill any room a bit more than you want to spend. You could also go with the 20.7 and a couple of subs. | |
| Led Zeppelin 11 If someone's crazy enough to pay that I guess it is to them. I'd love to hear a comparison to the Page remaster or other available pressings. |
