How Good Can My Vinyl Get?
If you're enjoying what you have just relax and listen. When you have $$ to upgrade get out there and listen in stores and others systems. To many of us are always chasing the next thing instead of hearing the music.When the time come you can save... 
Magnepan DWM bass panels in parallel from Krell KAV250a
I would call the manufacture for advice.You should have earth shaking bottom once everything is wired in. 
Why discussions generate into personal affronts...
I guess some people just have to be right and get their way but if that was the case we would only have one amp company, one speaker company or whatever.We should all be able to have our opinion without being nasty and insulting.I spent my money o... 
Company loyalty- What has been your favorite?
Parasound you can email Richard directly.Also Pass and Magnepan questions always answered. 
The Beatles Anniversary issues question .....
From what I’ve read Let it Be both the movie and music are in the works. Haven’t heard Abbey Road yet but love Pepper and the White especially with the additional material.Would really love Abbey Road on a double 45 lp. 
What are your top three live concerts of all time?
Led Zeppelin, MC5 and Johnny Winter Boston Garden 69The Faces Boston Common 71George Harrison Boston Garden 74 
remastered EMI pink floyd
Think they just do it to raise the price. With the millions they have made I can't see any reason their vinyl is so much more expensive than anyone else. Come on $39 for Lp's that are years old and virtually no cost to reissue. 
Not too knowledgeable and a cartridge/ phono amp recommendation is desired
There’s a Parasound Z Phono on sale at Safe and Sound I think it would be a step up from the Mani. You may want to wait and decide where you are headed system wise before investing in a phono pre. If you step up in integrated it may we'll have a s... 
Not too knowledgeable and a cartridge/ phono amp recommendation is desired
After reading a few reviews of your receiver it appears to sound much better if you stick to mm cartridges, there are a number of great ones available so you may want to head in that direction. Moving iron may also be a good option. I've always ha... 
Is it safe to buy from Audiogon sellers?
Never a problem purchased multiple speakers amp, pre, phono pre, CD player, turntable, cartridges lps all with great results. I do lots of research first will Google seller to make certain they live where they say, study feedback and pick up goods... 
Confused and need help
I paired Maggie 1.7 with a Parasound hint Halo and the sound was phenomenal do I'm surprised that they may be your problem. Maybe an audio friend can bring an amp or pre so you can experiment. 
Class D vs Class AB - Looking for best used budget amplifier for Magnepan MG12
If you read the Maggie web page they recommend to against class d amps. High current is the way to go. I drove my 1.7 with a Parasound integrated ànd they sounded amazing (used a cheaper high watt amp previously that just keep failing). From my ex... 
Where would be a good place to buy& sell used audio equipment?
You may try a local Craigslist that way you won't have to ship and the buyer will know exactly what they are getting. 
Are Pass Labs amps good at low volume levels?
Also a 250.8 owner and consider it outstanding at all volumes with my Maggie's. As someone else said there's nothing mid-fi about Pass products. For their price they can't be beat. 
Recommend speakers for a large living room
You have the room and the space how about the Magnepan 30.7 it should fill that room nicely and probably eliminate the need for subs., plus you'll have $$ left over.If you haven't heard them they are definitely worth a listen.
