| Looking for an integrated amp around 4000 to 5000. Seconds on Parasound gives you everything that you need and John Curl designed. | |
| Suggestions for $2k budget I would suggest a used pair of Maggie 1.7i and a subwoofer, these should be available within your budget. Whatever you do try to get some listening time in with various speakers (maybe difficult at this time) and spend time reading reviews. I list... | |
| Rock concerts Led Zeppelin with the MC5 and Johnny Winter Boston Garden 69The Faces on the Boston Common are are my favs followed by George Harrison Boston Garden and the Who for the concert that wasn't when Moon passed out at the drums concert was rescheduled ... | |
| Preamp with Phono $3-5k range Check the Ayre p5xe, I'm enjoying it with my Soundsmith cartridge and Pass equipment. It's in your price range and shows up used from time to time. | |
| Most amusing album or song titles Almost any Mother's LP will have an amusing title and song names. | |
| Audio reviews: too many analogies, never simple, but most of all, never clear. I enjoy the reviewer talking about the music they are listening to, I've discovered some excellent recordings that way that I can actually afford.

| Cartridge advice I'm using a Carmen with the VPI Aries Scout and enjoy it greatly. I did have to purchase extra weight to add to the headshell but they are available for about $10 shipped on eBay. | |
| Amp for Magnaplanar 1.7i I had the Parasound Halo Integrated 5 and it matched terrifically with the Maggie 1.7i , I would think any of their amps of equivalent power would be just as amazing. Being John Curl designed you probably won't find better in the price range. The... | |
| Can speakers be stored in a garage? It may depend on where you live, I certainly wouldn't in New England if they had any value. | |
| Give Satanic Majesties A Chance If you were a Stones fan looking for their next great r&r, r&b LP you were probably disappointed and hated SM but if you were a music fan into the psychedelic scene you definitely could get into it. If you go with an open mind and just jud... | |
| Another Newbie, Another Help Thread There are so many great American made products it seems a shame to purchase anything from China unless absolutely necessary. | |
