| Magnepan 3.7R's Jumpers and Resistors I have cut speaker cable or 12 guage zip and used it for jumpers also solid copper available in hardware stores. Have to say I don’t hear much difference. Also tried 1.5, and 2 ohm resistors and found they dulled the sound to much. | |
| Odyssey Stratos monoblocks with Elac Adante AS-61 When I changed from Emotiva 1L monoblocks to a Paradoind HINT there was a huge difference in sound quality. I have never heard the Odyssey but if you check audio circle there is a huge fan base and blog section. | |
| Shout out for Better Records I would never pay that for a record but if you're a lawyer, dr, stockbroker or programmer making that or more per hour it probably doesn't seem like much | |
| What album do you play over the holidays? Elvis Christmas lp Mario Lanza and Bing as I grew up on them. | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? For their influence the Velvet Underground.For music pleasure CCR and the Allman Brothers. | |
| Which magnepan I had 1.7 and 1.7i with a sub in a room 12 x 15 and the sound was amazing. Sometimes the instrument placement is due to the mix of the recordings you're listening to. | |
| Top of the line? Congrats always fun to get new equipment.Hopefully you'll tell us what you think of them once thet are off and running. | |
| Analogue Productions Jazz, Blues and Classical 33RPM vs 45RPM advice needed!!! I purchased the Band Music From Big Pink 45 rpm version and found sonic improvements on some songs but not all. | |

| boston newton area Just noticed this I live in the area and would be intetrsted if anyone is still out there. | |
| Opinions on these budget integrateds? I had a Parasound Hint paired with magnepan 1.7 and the sound was magical. You get everything you need even mm and mc phono pre built in with lots of power. | |
| What were your humble beginnings on the path to high end audio? KLH model 11 then graduated to Nikko with Rectilinear XIb speakers and BSR table with Shure cartridge. | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? Just wondering whats the problem with the Pass 250.5 I have the 250.8 and think it's awesome. | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? Emotiva upa 1L mono blocks these amps blew about 7 times trying to power my Magnepan 1.7 speakers.I had expected much better since they were rated so high in wattage at both 8&4 ohms. |
