| Solid state amp to replace my Audio Research Ref 150 amp I also recommend Pass, I own a 250.8 and it's simply fantastic sounding. I don't know how everyone gets off on the heat thing mine has been on playing for over 2 hrs and is barely warm to the touch . I have a 12 x 15 room and was kind of wishing ... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! My 3.7i also sounded harsh on the top end until I had over 200 hrs on them. I also went from a Parasound Hint to a Pass 250.8 more power and current will always sound better. I experimented with different resistors and ended up with .57 I found ou... | |

| Orchestrated Rock...Uriah Heep and others Surprised no one has mentioned Eric Clapton 24 Nights Orchestral. Also orchestra has recently been added to releases by Elvis, Roy Orbison and the Beach Boys | |
| what amp, streamer, preamp to buy $2500 Used Parasound Halo integrated 5 or 6 has just about everything you could need and is a terrific buy and great sounding piece of equipment. Good luck | |
| Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which? Hi Maggie 3.7i owner I'm using . 57 resistors, I find they tame the high and mids just enough.

| Phono Preamp Selection If I were you I'd be searching the used sections as you'll get much more for your dollar. | |

| Best low budget speakers for a Levinson 383 Integrated amp Another Maggie's fan here i'd go with the 1.7 used provided you have the space.. and maybe add a sub. | |
| Any Rhode Island audiophiles out there? I may drive down from MA depending on when and where. | |
| New cartridge ideas... As a fellow owner Soundsmith is a great idea. I wouldn't give up on your current cartridge until you've put close to 100 hrs on it. | |
| Power amplifier longevity… thoughts? Don't know how much you plan on spending but Pass makes an excellent pairing with Maggie's. The Parasound Halo integrated is also a good combo. I don't think I'd invest much in a 20 year old model. Good luck | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album Jeff Beck Truth 2 X 45 rpm LP. The first few Chicago LP's sound great. ELP Lucky Man LP . Almost any Direct to Disc album but the music can sometimes sound dated. | |
| Orchestrated Rock...Uriah Heep and others Not classic yet but the new Joe Bonamassa live at the Hollywood Bowl has a full orchestra and really shines. |
